November 2020 Community Day - Electabuzz

The November 2020 Community Day was the thirty-forth Community Day event, featuring Electabuzz. This was the first Community Day in the same month, being the other November 2020 Community Day - Magmar.

Featured Pokémon
Electabuzz had increased spawn rates in the wild and from Incense or Lure Modules:

There were also five chances per day to be photobombed by Electabuzz:

Exclusive move
In order to obtain Flamethrower, Trainers had to evolve Electabuzz into Electivire after the start of event and up to 2 hours after the end of event. Trainers cannot use TMs to obtain the attack.

Field Research event tasks
There were several Field Research tasks exclusively for the duration of the event.

Special Research
Electric for Electabuzz is a Special Research campaign for Electabuzz Community Day. It cost $1 to access the Special Research. The Electivire in this research would know Flamethrower if it was caught during event hours.

Hey there, TRAINER! I’m really glad to see you. I’ve been dealing with some strange power outages in my mobile lab and wanted to investigate what could be causing them. It didn’t take me long to find the cause. Seems as though a group of Electabuzz decided that the mobile lab’s electricity would make an excellent snack. Electabuzz seem to be appearing in higher numbers, which could lead to more outages. Do you think you could catch some of these Pokémon? The research would be valuable, and I’d be grateful to have my power restored!

Welcome back, Trainer. Thanks for the assistance—I really appreciate it! While you were out catching Electabuzz, I did some research on this Pokémon’s Evolutionary line. Did you know that Electabuzz evolves from Elekid? A weak electric current flows between Elekid’s horns. Be careful, Trainer! Sticking a hand between its horns will shock you! Hmm... I wonder whether Spark has tried that with his Buddy Pokémon... Anyway, let’s keep researching these Electabuzz and make sure they aren’t snacking on any electricity meant for other uses!

Great work, TRAINER. I think we have enough data on Electabuzz. Also known as the Electric Pokémon, it loves to feed on strong electricity. That explains why so many Electabuzz were attracted to my mobile lab. Electricity runs across the surface of Electabuzz’s body. In darkness, its entire body glows a whitish blue. Simply amazing! Let’s continue our research. Go ahead and use a Sinnoh Stone to evolve Electabuzz into Electivire! I can’t wait to see what electrifying facts we’ll learn about that Evolution!

I just don’t ever know whether they find my jokes funny... Should I take a comedy class? OH! I didn’t see you there, TRAINER. I see you’ve evolved your Electabuzz into Electivire like I asked. Thank you! According to the Pokédex, as Electivire’s electric charge amplifies, blue sparks begin to crackle between its horns. When in battle, Electivire pushes the tips of its two tails against its foe, then lets loose with over 20,000 volts of power. I guess you could say its opponent is in for a shock! Be careful with this Pokémon when battling with it—that’s a lot of power you’re dealing with! With the lights back on in the mobile lab, I’m going to head back and wrap up some other projects. Thank you again for all your help, and until next time, let’s GO!
