'Pokémon Go's Community Day Gives Players Chance to Enjoy Exclusive Move, Draco Meteor
"Pokémon Go" is having its next Community day event soon, and like what Niantic has done with the first event, trainers will have a limited time to nab a rare Pokémon. This brief window, which starts on Feb. 25, will also let trainers teach their Dragonite the powerful Draco Meteor move.
Getting a Dratini, one of the rarer Dragon-type Pokémon species in the game, already takes a bit of luck. Niantic is tipping the chances in favor of its players this upcoming Saturday, Feb. 24, when the "Pokémon Go" Community Event starts at 2 p.m. EST, as Niantic announced on the event website.
It's a very brief event that will last just three hours, though, but until 5 p.m. EST on that day, Dratini will spawn much more often in that brief window. Catching one is just the start, though, as the real rare prize is getting the event-exclusive Draco Meteor move for its final evolution, Dragonite.

Evolving a Dratini to a Dragonair, then to a Dragonite over the course of the Community Event will earn that Pokémon the Draco Meteor move, a destructive ability that Dragonites will not be able to learn otherwise.
Players who already have a Dragonair in their team will have an easier time at it, though, since the Community Event will award the move to any evolving Dragonairs in that brief three-hour window, and not just the ones caught and evolved that same day, as Gamespot noted.
Catching Pokémon during the duration of the event will also net a trainer triple the Stardust, which could go a long way in helping the long process of evolving a Dratini or Dragonair along. To help players catch more, Niantic is also setting lures to last three hours during the event.
