Pokemon GO’s Worldwide Monthly Event

Niantic hosts a Community Day Classic every month, each featuring a different Pokemon. For example, November 2024's event spotlighted Mankey, offering increased encounters with its shiny variant. Evolving the featured Pokemon during the event unlocks an exclusive move, enhancing your battle strategy.

Enjoy additional perks like reduced egg hatch distances, increased XP gains, and more. The December Community Day stands out with a two-day format, featuring multiple Pokemon with higher encounter rates and a greater chance of encountering Shiny variants. Alongside the unique Pokemon lineup, you'll benefit from the same enticing bonuses as previous months.
