A Generous Gesture: A Player’s Impact During Community Day in Pokémon GO
Recently, a Pokémon GO player took to Reddit to share a remarkable story about their extensive Stardust collection, which totaled a staggering 1.1 million. The Redditor known as u/bu11fr0g recounted an inspiring experience during a Community Day event featuring Suicune, a legendary Pokémon available in Max Battles. Two families present were eager to catch Suicune but found themselves at a disadvantage with under-leveled Pokémon.
Recognizing their need for support, u/bu11fr0g decided to lend a helping hand. He selected five Dynamax Bulbasaurs from his inventory, evolved them into formidable Venusaurs, and customized their movesets with Razor Leaf and Solar Beam. These Venusaurs were then leveled up to 40 and generously traded to the other players in need.
Joined by the families, u/bu11fr0g entered a Suicune Max Battle, where he tactically utilized two Blisseys to draw Suicune’s attention. Meanwhile, the eager participants focused their attacks using the newly-acquired Venusaurs. This collaborative effort proved successful, resulting in everyone leaving the battle with both a Suicune and a Venusaur.

Community Recognition: A Heartwarming Response
The story captivated many in the comment section, where users expressed admiration for u/bu11fr0g’s generosity. One user, u/codenvitae2, made a poignant remark:
“You’re a legend!! What you did today is so much more rewarding and better for the community than getting 10 Suicune with a big group of level 40+.”
Another player, u/Iragemonster, echoed this sentiment, sharing their own experience of rallying friends to assist others:
“We need more Pokémon Go players like this. Me and a friend did something similar today at our local park. We’re both level 50 with solid max Pokémon, we would start a group and get the Suicune down to red and then back out and then help another group. We did this for about 2 hours this morning and they were very appreciative for the raids. Thank you for sharing, glad there’s others like this.”
Additional comments reflected a shared appreciation for community-driven efforts. User u/TheBustyFriend proposed a fitting tribute:
“You should give us some tidbit of info that we can carry on to honor you. Let us name a Suicune BullFrog or something. This is just so badass. Like, Hell’s Angels bikers running into a burning building to save a baby levels of badass. I’m 32 and hope to be like you when I grow up lol.”
In response, u/bu11fr0g acknowledged the support and enthusiasm from the community.
