As a seasoned Pokémon Go player with over five years of capturing, battling, and training under my belt, I can confidently say that Niantic has once again delivered a thrilling lineup for Season 17! The Community Day events, spread from December 2024 to February 2025, promise an exciting journey filled with rare encounters, increased bonuses, and the ever-elusive shiny Pokémon.


Niantic, the creators of Pokemon GO, have unveiled the Community Day schedules for Season 17, slated to commence on December 3 this year. Similar to past seasons, Season 17 of Pokemon GO will feature numerous Community Day activities and exclusive events tailored to the theme of that season.

The sixteenth season of Pokemon GO, dubbed “Max Out”, revolves around Dynamax Pokemon similar to those found in Pokemon Sword and Shield. This latest season introduces Max Battles where 40 trainers unite into teams of four to engage in intense battles against Gigantamax Pokemon. Additionally, players can join the monthly Community Day events in Pokemon GO to catch new species, with some fortunate individuals even encountering rare shiny Pokemon out in the wild.

Starting after Season 17, the inaugural Community Day event of the season will take place from December 21 to 22, as announced by Niantic. Typically, the last Community Day event of the year presents a collection of Pokemon from past Community Day events, enabling players to capture Pokemon they might have previously missed. The first Community Day event in 2025 is scheduled for January 5, with the first Community Day Classic event following on January 25. The season’s final Community Day event is set for February 9, 2025. It’s important to mention that the Pokemon to be showcased during these upcoming Community Day events have not been disclosed yet, as Niantic is still working on providing details about the December 2024 Community Day event.
