Pokémon GO's Global Monthly Event
Niantic hosts a Community Day Classic each month, featuring a different Pokémon. November 2024 featured Mankey, for example. These events offer increased encounter rates for the featured Pokémon (including Shiny variants) and an exclusive move for evolving the Pokémon during the event. Expect additional bonuses like reduced egg hatching distances and more!
December's Community Day is extra special, spanning two days with multiple Pokémon and boosted Shiny rates. Enjoy similar perks and bonuses as previous months!
