Community Day

Community Day is a monthly worldwide event in Pokémon GO dedicated to celebrate players in the Pokémon GO community.

Features
Pokémon GO Community Day is an opportunity for Trainers around the world to meet up at their local parks to make new friends and experience what it means to be a part of this special community.

Once a month, Niantic hosts a Pokémon GO Community Day event starring a special Pokémon, which appears frequently around the world for just a few hours. When caught or evolved during the event, this special Pokémon will know an exclusive move. Other bonuses are in effect during the event, such as increased XP, Stardust, shiny rate and Lure Modules activated during the event last for three hours.

List of Community Days
Footnotes:
 * 1) The featured attack is exclusive to the featured Pokémon's final evolution within its family. In order to obtain the featured Attack, the Pokémon must be evolved fully within the duration of the event. Trainers cannot use TMs to obtain the attack.
 * 2) By completing Research tasks obtained during the event, there was an encounter of a 'Squirtle wearing sunglasses as reward.
 * 3) The featured attack was available for all members in its evolution family until 1:00pm PDT on Monday August 13, 2018.

Event hours
As the Community Day event lasts only for three hours, it doesn't occur at the same time globally, but during the afternoon in the respective time zones.

Shop special offer


Starting with February 2018 Community Day there were several purchasable item bundle boxes from the shop for the time of each Community Day.

Since March 2018 Community Day they've been officially called "Community Day Box" and since May 2018 Community Day these boxes started to use separate graphic asset that would distinguish them from other special offer boxes in the shop.

Such Community Day boxes were reported on Community Days in February 2018, March 2018, April 2018, May 2018, June 2018 and August 2018.
