Key Takeaways

  • All 2024 Community Day Pokemon will reappear in a collect-a-thon in December for a second chance.
  • Community Day events offer unique ‘Mons with unique moves.
  • Bonuses during the December event include increased spawn rates, Shiny spawns, and the return of old Stickers.

As a long-time Pokémon enthusiast who can still remember the days of trading cards and playing the original games on my Game Boy, this upcoming event is truly a dream come true! The sheer variety of Pokémon that will be available during this Community Day is staggering, from old favorites like Slowpoke and Poliwag to newer additions such as Tsareena and Annihilape.

If you regrettably couldn’t participate in a Community Day event in Pokémon Go during 2024, don’t worry! You’ll get another opportunity to catch them all because these rare Pokémons will be showcased in a special collector’s extravaganza as part of the December events.

During Community Day events for Pokemon GO, certain Pokemon appear more frequently. These special Pokemon often have a distinct ability or move that sets them apart from standard versions, making them valuable and sought-after in competitive gameplay.

On those two days, Saturday, December 21, and Sunday, December 22, 2024, between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., as per the official Pokemon Go website’s announcement, every Pokemon that was featured during the 2024 Community Day will return, according to each location’s local time.
