(leekduck.com) Community Day shiny odds for Tinkatink have been reported at roughly 1-in-20 (5%) during the featured hours. (pokemongohub.net) A paid Special Research ticket priced at US$1.99 (or local equivalent) will be available, promising rewards such as three Tinkatink encounters with a Special Background, a Premium Battle Pass, and a Rare Candy XL; tickets will be giftable to friends at Great Friends or higher. (leekduck.com) Trades during the event will require 50% less Stardust and the event grants an additional Special Trade allowance for the day, while regular Lure Modules are flagged to attract Tinkatink at a higher rate from 2:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. local time.
