As a seasoned Pokémon trainer with years of battling and collecting under my belt, I must say that the latest Community Day announcement has me absolutely thrilled! The prospect of evolving my Pokémon to learn unique moves is always an exciting one, and the variety on offer during this event is truly impressive.

In December 2024, Pokemon GO has announced its plans for their final Community Day event of the year, revisiting cherished memories from past events. This popular event on the Pokemon GO calendar typically spotlights a specific pocket monster and provides additional benefits to players. As the year comes to an end, the augmented reality game is looking back by hosting a special December Community Day event.

In January, February, and March of 2024, Niantic unveiled Rowlet, Chansey, and Litten respectively as the Community Day Pokemon. For those who prefer Grass-type characters, April and May brought Bellsprout and Bounsweet. The June, July, and August events showcased Goomy, Tynamo, and Popplio. September’s event was unique, focusing on Ponyta and its regional variant. Lastly, in October and November, Sewaddle and Mankey were featured.

For the upcoming Community Day in December (December 21-22, from 2 pm to 5 pm local time), Pokemon GO has unveiled its lineup. On December 21, Rowlet and five other Pokemon will be up for grabs, while on December 22, players can find Ponyta, Galarian Ponyta, and four other creatures. During the last 10 minutes of each hour, Niantic will boost the appearances of Porygon, Cyndaquil, Bagon, and Beldum. Like other Pokemon GO events, players can anticipate perks such as doubled XP and Candy for catching Pokemon, and Lure Modules with extended durations.
