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 during the event, this special Pokémon will know an exclusive move. Other bonuses are in effect during the event, such as increased XP or Stardust, and Lure Modules activated during the event last for three hours.

List of Community Days
Footnotes:
 * 1) Research estimates that there was a 1 in 22.7 chance of capturing a shiny Pikachu.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) It's rumored that Tyranitar's will be the Fast Attack Smack Down, because this was hinted in the Japanese and Chinese announcements.  The line "Put those Charged TMs away" was changed to "Put those TMs away", shortly after the announcement. The official page also states that both Fast and Charged TMs will not grant exclusive Community Day moves.
 * 4) Player community speculates that the 7th Community Day featured Pokémon might be Squirtle.

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.
