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!
We’re excited to announce that the Pokémon GO December Community Day 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!
Our Community Day meetups will take place on Saturday, December 17, 2022, and Sunday, December 18, 2022, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time (IST in India). The virtual trainer meetups will be held in nine cities across India, including New Delhi’s Lodhi Gardens, Mumbai’s Shivaji Park, Pune’s Saras Baug, Bengaluru’s Statue of Edward VII in Cubbon Park, Kolkata’s Lions Safari Park, Chennai’s Tower Park in Anna Nagar, Lucknow’s Lohia Park in Gomti Nagar, Ahmedabad’s Vastrapur Lake Garden and Thiruvananthapuram’s The Napier Museum.
