Evolving Pawmi: Exclusive Moves and Evolution Tips

During Pawmi Community Day, evolving a Pawmo (Pawmi’s evolution) into Pawmot will grant you a Pawmot that knows the exclusive Charged Attack Brick Break.

Here are the key evolution tips for the event:

• To evolve Pawmo into Pawmot, you need to walk 1 km with Pawmo as your buddy. This evolution requirement is active through May 18, 2025, at 10:00 p.m. local time.
• Brick Break is only obtainable by evolving during the Community Day window and one week following the event.

Pawmot in PvP: Is It Worth the Investment?

The big question for competitive players: Is Community Day Pawmot worth using in Trainer Battles? According to PvP specialists at Pokémon GO Hub, while Pawmot’s new move Brick Break adds much-needed versatility, it doesn’t immediately push Pawmot into the upper tiers of PvP viability. Its unique Electric/Fighting typing offers some interesting coverage, but its low bulk and lack of a top-end fast move limit its competitive impact for now.

To break it down:

• Pawmot is great for collectors and shiny hunters.
• In PvP, Brick Break improves its move pool, but other Electric types like Luxray or Raichu still outperform it.
• For Ultra League, Pawmot becomes bulkier but still faces stiff competition.
