Pokemon GO Reveals December 2025 Community Day Details

by

On November 10th, Pokémon GO announced its December 2025 Community Day plans earlier than usual. The event will bring back Pokémon from past Community Days for another weekend of catching. Trainers will be able to find up to 16 different Pokémon during the first full weekend of December, and they’ll have the same chances of finding their shiny versions as in previous events.

Since 2018, Pokémon GO Community Days have brought players together to catch rare Pokémon worldwide. During these events, certain Pokémon are much more likely to appear as their shiny versions, which are highly sought after by collectors. The October 2025 Community Day featured Solosis, a Psychic-type Pokémon originally from the Pokémon Black and White games. Pokémon caught during a Community Day also learn a special move when fully evolved – in this case, Solosis will gain the move Charm when it evolves into Reuniclus.

As a big Pokémon GO fan, I’m excited to hear they’re giving us another chance to catch Pokémon from past Community Days! It sounds like they’re running a bit low on totally new creatures, but this is awesome for those of us who missed out before. The final Community Day of 2025 will be December 6th and 7th, from 2 to 5 PM local time. They’re bringing back all the featured Pokémon from 2025’s events, like Totodile and the Paldean starters – Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly! They’re also highlighting the different colors of Flabebe, but the Yellow, Red, and Blue ones will only be available in certain regions. And for the last 10 minutes of each hour, keep an eye out for Pokémon like Ralts and Eevee appearing in the wild!

Similar to past Pokemon GO Community Days, players will earn double the Candy, Stardust, and XP when catching Pokemon during the event. Plus, Pokemon GO recently increased the maximum storage space by 650, bringing the total to 11,150. This means players won’t have to worry about running out of room for all the Pokemon they catch during the December 2025 Community Day.

Trainers preparing for the December Community Day can use the rewards from the November 2025 Pokémon GO Pass to get useful items. It’s still unknown how many players will participate in the last Pokémon GO Community Day of the year.

  • Shelmet*
  • Vanillite*

Featured Attack Details

These Pokémon will have special attacks available when they evolve between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. local time on December 6th, 2025, and December 7th, 2025.

Machamp

Evolve Machoke (Machop’s Evolution) to get a Machamp that knows the Charged Attack Payback.

Eevee

Eevee caught or hatched during the event will know the Charged Attack Last Resort.

Evolve Eevee into any of its Evolutions and that Pokémon will know a featured attack:

  • Vaporeon will know the Charged Attack Scald.
  • Jolteon will know the Charged Attack Zap Cannon.
  • Flareon will know the Charged Attack Superpower.
  • Espeon will know the Charged Attack Shadow Ball.
  • Umbreon will know the Charged Attack Psychic.
  • Leafeon will know the Fast Attack Bullet Seed.
  • Glaceon will know the Charged Attack Water Pulse.
  • Sylveon will know the Charged Attack Psyshock.

Feraligatr

Evolve Croconaw, the evolved form of Totodile, to get a Feraligatr that already has the powerful Charged Attack, Hydro Cannon.

Gardevoir and Gallade

Okay, so if I want a Gardevoir or Gallade that can use the Charged Attack Synchronoise, I need to evolve a Kirlia first. Kirlia is what Ralts evolves into, so basically I need to level up Ralts to get Kirlia, then evolve that one to get the Pokémon with Synchronoise. It’s a bit of a process, but worth it if I want that specific attack!

Reuniclus

Evolve Duosion (Solosis’s Evolution) to get a Reuniclus that knows the Fast Attack Charm.

Vanilluxe

Okay, so I need to evolve my Vanillish – that’s the evolution of Vanillite – into a Vanilluxe. But here’s the catch: I have to make sure that Vanilluxe learns the Charged Attack called Avalanche. It sounds like a bit of a challenge, but I’m up for it!

Escavalier

Evolve Karrablast to get an Escavalier that knows the Charged Attack Razor Shell.

Accelgor

Evolve Shelmet to get an Accelgor that knows the Charged Attack Energy Ball.

Florges

Evolve Floette (Flabébé’s Evolution) to get a Florges that knows the Charged Attack Chilling Water.

Toucannon

Evolve Trumbeak (Pikipek’s Evolution) to get a Toucannon that knows the Charged Attack Beak Blast.

Kommo-o

I’m so excited! If you evolve Hakamo-o – that’s Jangmo-o’s next form – you’ll get a Kommo-o that already knows the awesome Charged Attack, Clanging Scales. It saves you having to teach it, which is a huge win!

Corviknight

To get a Corviknight that can use the Air Cutter attack, you’ll need to evolve a Corvisquire, which itself evolves from a Rookidee.

Meowscarada

If you evolve Sprigatito into Floragato, and then further into Meowscarada, it will learn the powerful Charged Attack called Frenzy Plant.

Skeledirge

Evolve Crocalor (Fuecoco’s Evolution) to get a Skeledirge that knows the Charged Attack Blast Burn.

Quaquaval

Evolve Quaxwell (Quaxly’s Evolution) to get a Quaquaval that knows the Charged Attack Hydro Cannon.

Pawmot

Evolve Pawmo (Pawmi’s Evolution) to get a Pawmot that knows the Charged Attack Brick Break.
