Well, here's some most excellent news. Beldum will be the star of the August 2024 Community Day Classic! On August 18, 2024, Beldum will be all over the place with an increased shiny rate. Beldum's final evolution Metagross is one of my personal favorite Pokémon, so I'm thrilled to see it return. It is also extremely important to note that Meteor Mash Metagross is one of the strongest Iron-types in the game, especially its shadow!

linkEvent Analysis

Like I mentioned before, this is an important one! Try not to miss out on this event. Metagross is one of the most sought-after Pokémon out there especially with the Community Day move Meteor Mash.

If you have any Shadow Beldum, make sure you TM away Frustration during the Rocket Takeover Event! Shadow Metagross is a monster!
