Pokémon GO Community Days
Pokémon GO introduced Community Day
in 2018 as a monthly event for trainers to meet up and experience what it means to be a part of this special community
. Each month, a different Pokémon is featured and is much more common in the wild (across the whole world). What's more, the featured Pokémon has a much higher chance to be shiny - the rate is believed to be around 1 in 25. For over two years Community Days were the first opportunity to obtain the shiny form, but nowadays Pokémon with the shiny already released are regularly featured.
Each featured Pokémon can also learn a special move. In the first Community Day, Pikachu came with Surf when caught; all later CDs require evolving the Pokémon to their final stage (e.g. Charizard on Charmander Community Day). The move can only be obtained by evolving within CD hours or up to two hours afterward, otherwise an Elite TM is required.
Additional bonuses occur every month, such as triple stardust or triple XP, and Lure modules last for 3 hours. The Pokémon's catch rate is also raised to 40%, which is great for Pokémon such as the starters which normally have low catch rates. Each December so far has been a retrospective event where Pokémon from the previous 11 months can be found, and exclusive moves from that year and the previous year can be obtained.
Below are all the past and upcoming Community Days along with the exclusive move and bonuses, most recent first. For ease of use, the next occurring event is highlighted in blue.
