Community Days are exciting events for Pokémon GO players, offering the chance to catch hordes of a specific Pokémon with boosted CP and potentially perfect IVs. This guide focuses on maximizing your chances of catching a perfect Beldum during its Community Day. We'll cover ideal CP values, strategies to improve your odds, and what to expect from this special event.
What CP Should a Perfect Beldum Have?
The CP of a Pokémon depends on its Individual Values (IVs), its level, and its species. A perfect Beldum (100% IVs) will have a CP range depending on the weather and the level at which it's encountered. Knowing the weather boost can help you pinpoint a perfect one. Without weather boost, a level 20 perfect Beldum will have a different CP compared to a level 25 perfect Beldum encountered during a weather boost. Unfortunately, there isn't one single "perfect" CP number to look for. Instead, you should focus on using an IV checker app (many free options are available) to determine the IVs of caught Beldum. These apps use the CP and other data to calculate the IV percentage.
How to Increase Your Chances of Catching a Perfect Beldum?
While luck plays a role, several strategies increase your odds of capturing that perfect Beldum:
- Use Excellent Throws: Excellent throws significantly increase your chances of catching any Pokémon, especially those with high CP. Practice your throws before the event.
- Utilize Berries: Pinap Berries will double your candy yield, crucial for powering up your Beldum. Razz Berries increase catch rates. Use them strategically. Save your Golden Razz Berries for Beldums with high IVs, as indicated by your IV checker.
- Weather Boost: Pay close attention to the weather. If there's a weather boost affecting Beldum (usually partly cloudy), the CP of encountered Beldums will be higher, and you'll find more perfect Beldums within the higher CP ranges.
- High-Level Accounts: Higher-level accounts encounter Pokémon at higher levels, increasing the maximum CP and thus the chances of encountering higher IV Pokémon.
- Multiple Accounts: Playing on multiple accounts can drastically improve your odds of finding a perfect Beldum.
- Check IVs Immediately: Don't just rely on CP. Use your IV checker to determine the IVs of each Beldum as quickly as possible. This allows you to focus on high-IV Pokémon and save your best berries for them.
What Makes a Beldum "Perfect"?
A "perfect" Beldum refers to one with perfect Individual Values (IVs) – 100% across Attack, Defense, and Stamina. These IVs determine the Pokémon's potential strength when evolved and powered up. A perfect Beldum will ultimately evolve into a much stronger Metagross compared to one with lower IVs.
Is there a specific time during Community Day to find more perfect Beldum?
There isn't any evidence suggesting a specific time during Community Day has a higher rate of perfect Beldum. The spawn rate should remain consistently high throughout the event. Your best strategy remains consistent play throughout the entire Community Day window.
What are the benefits of having a perfect Beldum?
A perfect Beldum guarantees a powerful Metagross after evolution. This powerful Steel/Psychic type Pokémon is valuable in raids, gyms, and PvP battles. Its high stats give it a competitive edge. The investment in powering up a perfect Beldum pays off handsomely.
How can I tell if my Beldum has good IVs without an app?
While impossible to know the precise IV percentage without an app, you can get a general sense by looking at the CP and comparing it to others caught under similar conditions (same weather boost, similar level). A higher CP under the same conditions often suggests better IVs. However, this is not a reliable method and an IV checker is recommended for accurate determination.
By implementing these strategies and understanding the nuances of Community Day events, you significantly increase your chances of catching that elusive perfect Beldum and evolving it into a powerhouse Metagross. Remember, patience and persistence are key!
