Pokémon Go is having a Mankey Group Day occasion on Sunday, Nov. 10, from 2-5 p.m. in your native time.
As anticipated with a Group Day occasion, Mankey will spawn in enormous numbers with a excessive probability for it to look shiny. There are additionally a number of different bonuses and perks, which we’ve listing out under.
How do I catch a shiny Mankey in Pokémon Go?
As per previous analysis by the now-defunct web site The Silph Highway (through Wayback Machine), Shiny charges on Group Days are about 1 in 24, which implies that when you hold enjoying all through the three-hour window, you need to discover fairly a number of shiny Pokémon.

If you happen to’re quick on time or Poké Balls, you possibly can pop an Incense, then shortly faucet every Mankey to examine for shiny ones, working from any that aren’t shiny. Notably, any Mankey you’ve already tapped will face the place your participant is standing, so that ought to assist establish which of them you might have already checked.
What Group Day transfer does Mankey’s evolution be taught?
If you happen to evolve Mankey or Primape into Primeape or Annihilape from 2 p.m. till 10 p.m. in your native time, it should be taught the charged transfer Rage Fist.
Primeape has an uncommon evolution requirement to evolve into Annihilape often. Nevertheless, for this Group Day, the same old technique has been briefly changed with a neater technique: set Primeape as your buddy and catch 20 fighting-type Pokémon. This might be lively from 2-10 p.m. in your native time, so use this to take benefit and evolve these Mankey and Primeape.
If you happen to miss out on evolving it throughout this era, you’ll doubtless be capable of evolve it throughout a Group Day weekend occasion in December to get Rage Fist. If you happen to don’t need to wait, you need to use an Elite TM to get the transfer.
How does Annihilape do within the Pokémon Go meta?
Sadly as of this writing, we don’t know the precise stats for Rage Fist. (Full disclosure: We prep these posts a number of days forward of time, as we don’t sometimes work on weekends!) PvP-focused web sites like PvPoke are predicting that Rage Fist will assist out Annihilape and Primeape re-enter the meta after the nerfs that got here in with the PvP shake-up earlier within the season.
When it comes to PvE content material (raids and gymnasiums), Annihilape sits within the high 20 of ghost-type attackers while you eliminate shadow Pokémon and Megas, however that doesn’t imply a lot. It’s outclassed by many extra generally discovered Pokémon: Gengar and Chandelure, in addition to a plethora of Legendary Pokémon, like Lunala, Origin Forme Giratina, Darkrai, Mewtwo — you get the image. You’ll be able to completely construct and put money into an Annihilape if you would like, however because it has no ghost-type quick transfer accessible, Rage Fist will doubtless not push it up the ladder in comparison with these long-standing meta picks.
How do I benefit from Mankey Group Day?
The next bonuses might be lively throughout Mankey Group Day:
That stated, you need to undoubtedly pop a Fortunate Egg and an Incense and attempt to nab some highly effective Mankey.
If you happen to can Mega Evolve Heracross, Blaziken, Medicham, Lopunny, or Lucario, you’ll rating further Mankey Sweet per catch.
Along with all this, Niantic continues to be working particular four-star raids from 5-10 p.m., the place when you clear the Primeape raid, Mankey will spawn in a 300-meter radius across the health club for half-hour. These raids can’t be completed remotely. If the same old 2-5 p.m. spawn improve doesn’t get you the Mankey you needed, you possibly can strive raiding for one more probability.
