‘Pokemon Go’: Where to spend July’s Tepig Community Day in the Bay Area

As the world emerges from the pandemic, “Pokemon Go” and its communities are slowly returning to organized events. In July, that’s going to ramp up as the busy month will feature a Community Day early on and the game’s flagship event Pokemon Go Fest 2021 returns with more players expected to take part.

On July 3, the game will get its first test of the summer with Tepig Community Day. Running from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Fire Pig Pokemon will appear frequently in the wild and players have a great chance of obtaining a shiny one. The Tepig variant isn’t very impressive at first, but as players evolve it to Pignite and then Emboar, it grows more visually spectacular with the last form spewing blue flames out of its mouth. It’s one of the cooler-designed Pokemon for Generation V.

Unfortunately in “Pokemon Go,” that style doesn’t have the substance to back it up. Tepig isn’t a game-changer like last month’s Gible. It’s a decent fire-type Pokemon, but it won’t see much use in raids or in PvP aside from the occasional cup, according to an analysis by JRE47. Two elements hold it back. The first is Emboar’s bulk. For such a beefy-looking Pokemon, it’s surprisingly frail compared to its counterparts. The second part is that it doesn’t have a great Fast Move, which means that it can’t generate energy quickly enough to use the exclusive Community Day move, Blast Burn. Of course, that could change as Niantic updates moves and adds new ones. Look at what Incinerate has done for Typhlosion and Ho-oh.

Although Tepig isn’t as useful as comparable pocket monsters, its Community Day has some great bonuses with the triple catch stardust, three-hour Incense and three-hour Lure Modules. Players who may be low on stardust after powering up some Pokemon for Go Battle League will find this celebration as a godsend. This is the time to use up those Star Pieces.

Additionally, players can expect the usual extras that go along with Community Day. Tepig will likely photo bomb players five times and those will create five opportunities to catch a shiny one. A Community Day Box goes on sale for 1,280 PokeCoins and features 50 Ultra Balls, five Incense, five Star Pieces and an Elite Charged TM. The Elite Charged TM is a rare item and that makes it worth it if you’re a Go Battle League player.

Lastly, players can purchase the Roasted Berries Special Research story for $1. These are usually the best value and gives players extra Stardust, items and more opportunities at catching a shiny or perfect Tepig.

WHERE TO PLAYWith that said, here are the Bay Area communities holding events for “Pokemon Go” Community Day for July. I also added popular spots for players. This information is gathered from Discord communities around the Bay Area such as Pokemon Go Bay Area Raids and SF PoGO Raids Meetup.

Berkeley: The community gathered for Gible Community Day and it turned out well last time. The spawns are still dense and players find the area around the campanile lured up and players walking around campus.

San Francisco: The Embarcadero strip from the Ferry Building to Cupid’s Span is a popular spot. You can find players traipsing back and forth between the two landmarks. The spawn density is good there.

For those closer to Golden Gate Park, players can find plenty Pokemon by walking from the East Entrance near Stanyan Street and going along John F. Kennedy Drive through the Music Concourse and then through the Botanical Garden. Players say the route offered a high yield of Pokemon on Swablu Community Day.

El Cerrito: If you can’t make it to Cal, the El Cerrito Plaza is a great alternative. The site has plenty of parking and is accessible via BART. The area is full of Pokemon, especially on the side near Trader Joe’s, and it has covered walkways if one wants to some shelter from the sun. There’s no group holding an event at the site, but players can expect to see a few trainers around the area.

Downtown Mountain View: The area along Castro Street from the Embarcadero to the Villa is reportedly a great place to play though I have not been able to confirm this post-pandemic.

South Bay: The Pokemon Go: San Jose Discord Community has a running list of great Community Day sites. The users there have recommended these places.

De Anza College (Cupertino) — According to Discord user Nmestar, De Anza College has a high-spawn density but not that many stops. Bathroom access may also be an issue post-pandemic.

Central Park (Santa Clara) — This is a popular spot, according to Nmestar, but the spawn density isn’t as great as other locations.

Oakridge Mall (South San Jose) — User Helicoid confirms that this is one of the decent places to play “Pokemon Go.” The advantage of the indoor mall is that it’s a great place if it’s too hot outside, but it can get crowded. Bathroom access shouldn’t be an issue.

San Jose State University (Downtown San Jose) — Like Cal, this is one of the best locations to play. Nmestar reports that its spawn density is above average but it also have the benefit having plenty of stops to replenish your Pokeball reserves.
