Niantic have put together a new bundle of items that can be bought from the in-game shop.
Part of today’s Pokemon Go Community Day celebrations, Trainers are now seeing new boxes popping up that are offering some decent items.
The Community Day three-hour event is already ongoing in some parts of the world, with fans sharing the latest news.
(As usual, the next Pokemon Go Community Day event takes place between 10am and 1pm BST in the UK.)
This includes the content of those special Community Day boxes, which should be available to everyone during the event.
For those wanting a sneak-peek, Trainers are reporting these items as part of the new PokeCoin bundles:
Six Lucky Eggs, four Premium Raid Passes, 20 Pinap Berries and 30 Ultra Balls.
This bundle costs around 480 PokeCoins to buy and will be available to those Trainers heading out to catch some Shiny Larvitars.
However, while some months have seen some pretty striking differences in the Shiny forms, June’s tweaks are a lot more underwhelming.
The changes in colour between all three Pokemon evolutions isn’t that striking and fans will have to keep a close eye on if they actually snag a shiny Larvitar.
It was also recently announced the network issues affecting the Asian and Oceanic launch of the new Community Day, has led to the hours being extended.
“Thank you for your patience as we continue to investigate and address a variety of service-related issues,” a message from the Pokemon Go support team on Twitter reads.
“As a result of these issues, Pokemon Go Community Day has been extended 2 hours in the Asia-Pacific region. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.”
And while new shiny Pokemon are the big draw, there will also be a bunch of other rewards available to Trainers.
Trainers will also have access to a 3× Catch XP, as well as 3-hour Lures for those hoping to attract as many Pocket Monsters as possible.

Another bonus includes unlocking a special move that will only be available when Larvitar is evolved to its final form during the short three-hour window on Saturday, June 16.
Smack Down will be available as the unique reward for catching Larvitar during the limited-time Community Day.
"Get out and play together in your local community parks on Pokemon GO Community Day," reads the official blurb.
"For just a few hours each month, you can encounter a special Pokemon in the wild.
"During these hours, there's a chance to learn a previously unavailable move for that Pokemon or its evolution, as well as earn some Community Day bonuses. Celebrate what it means to be a part of the Pokemon GO community and make new friends along the way!"
But it appears that Niantic may have also made some last minutes changes to the move before its release.
According to the latest reports, the masterfile for the Smack Down has been changed, bringing down the stats of the Tyranitar skill.
