pokemon go organizes monthly community day (or two!), allowing players to catch tons of one species of Pokémon and find shiny versions of them quite easily.
Every community day typical features a Pokémon that either needs a lot of candy to evolve or has three stages of evolution. Last year we saw an exception to this rule, when one day Kantonian and Alolan Sandshrew featured. We’ve also had Eevee Community Day in 2021, which breaks this pattern.
Niantic will also run Community day classic events, bringing back old Community Day Pokémon. Last year, pokemon go had classic events for Bulbasaur, Mudkip, and Dratini, making it easy for newer players to grab these very powerful older Pokémon. It’s not known exactly when Niantic will run these events, as they pop up randomly.
The last Community Day of the year in December is typically a weekend event that brings back all Community Day Pokémon from earlier in the year, so don’t worry if you miss one of the days. catch up in December.
Below we have listed all known Community Days for 2023. Niantic sometimes announces dates without announcing what the featured Pokémon are; we’ve listed those dates below as well.
