November 2020 Community Day - Magmar

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

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

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

Exclusive move
In order to obtain Thunderbolt, Trainers had to evolve Magmar into Magmortar 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
No Match for Magmar is a Special Research campaign for Magmar Community Day. It cost $1 to access the Special Research. The Magmortar in this research would know Thunderbolt if it was caught during event hours.

Ah, TRAINER! Perfect timing. I’ve just encountered something strange! I’ve been feeling a bit warm lately, so I walked to a nearby clearing to enjoy the cool breeze—but the temperature seemed to rise as I arrived! Curious, isn’t it? I suspect it’s the work of a certain Pokémon. There’s one that’s known to dislike cold areas so much, it’ll blow scorching flames to heat up its surroundings. I believe there are large groups of this particular Pokémon appearing all over the place right now. Ah, you’re wondering which Pokémon I’m talking about? I think I’ll keep that to myself for now. But here—I'll write it on this piece of paper, and we can check later to see if I was right! Can you go investigate and let me know what you find? Thanks, Trainer!

Welcome back, TRAINER. As promised, I’ll now reveal my guess as to which Pokémon is responsible for these recent temperature spikes. As you can see, I wrote down...Magmar! My intuition is pretty “lit,” eh? Am I using that ri—AH! Wow, that little fireball turned my paper straight to ash! Anyway, it seems the cause of these irregular warm fronts is indeed Magmar, the Spitfire Pokémon. When it breathes deeply, heat waves form around its body, making it hard to see clearly. Isn’t that just incredible? And to think that this intimidating Pokémon evolves from the adorable Magby, the Live Coal Pokémon! As adorable as Magby is, though, field studies have shown that whenever it inhales and exhales, hot embers dribble out of its mouth and nostrils. Still doesn’t stop me from trying to hug it! Anyway, TRAINER, you should try evolving your Magmar! Check in with me again before you do, though—I’ll have more hot tips for you then.

You’re almost there, TRAINER! Soon, you’ll have yourself a Magmortar, the Blast Pokémon. Exciting stuff! Watch out for the ends of its arms, though—they can produce fireballs as hot as 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit! Yowch! Can you imagine if you could blast fireballs out of your arms? Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Hahaha! Hey, that’s pretty fun! Fwoosh! There I go getting fired up about Pokémon again. Get it? “Fired up”? Haha, my hot streak continues! Anyway, with this Sinnoh Stone and the Magmar Candy you’ve acquired, you should be able to evolve your Magmar into Magmortar pretty soon—so keep up the great work, TRAINER!

Excellent work, TRAINER! Looks like you’ve got your very own Magmortar. Magmortar, like Magby and Magmar, tends to live in volcanos. Its body can even take on a whitish hue from the intense heat generated by the fireballs it shoots from the ends of its arms! Wow, learning about Magmar and its Evolutionary line has really lit a fire in my heart. I need to get back to my research, pronto! See you around, TRAINER!
