December 2022 Community Day: Previously featured Pokémon from 2022 and 2021 Community Days return!
Trainers,
The year is nearly behind us, which means it’s time to reflect on all the fun everyone had during this year’s Community Days! The last Community Day of 2022 will take place over two days—Saturday, December 17, 2022, and Sunday, December 18, 2022.
Throughout the event, Pokémon featured in Community Day events in 2022 will appear more frequently in the wild and in Timed Research. Pokémon featured in Community Day events throughout 2021 will hatch from Eggs and appear in raids and Timed Research. There’s no better way to wrap up the year than by catching Pokémon from Community Day events you may have missed!
