December 2019 Community Day

The December 2019 Community Day was the 24th Community Day in Pokémon GO and the last one scheduled in 2019. It was a two-day event featuring all Pokémon from 2018 and 2019 Community Days.

Featured Pokémon
The two day event occurred from 9 a.m. on December to 9 p.m. on December  local time. Exclusive moves for the Pokémon were obtainable in the whole time slot.

However, the Pokémon appearances were only featured from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on each day and some minor differences between two days. In simple words:
 * The 2019 Community Day Pokémon appeared in the wild on both days.
 * The 2018 Community Day Pokémon appeared in Tier 1 Raid Battles on both days.
 * The first half of both years and the second half of both years Community Day Pokémon appeared in the Eggs on Saturday and Sunday respectively. (Pichu in Pikachu case)
 * Extra bonuses occurred from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on each day, including double catch Stardust and XP, half Egg distance and 3-hour lures.
 * The first half of 2019 and the second half of 2019 Community Day Pokémon appeared in wild more frequently on Saturday and Sunday respectively.

Special Research
During this event there was a one-part Special Research series that was titled Celebrate 2019 in game.

How was 2019 for you, Trainer? For me, it was a fantastic year, and I want to thank you and all our Trainers around the world for your hard work. Together, we took on Team GO Rocket, uncovered the Wish Pokémon, Jirachi, and began encountering Pokémon originally discovered in Unova. I want to make sure you know how proud I am of how much you and all the other Trainers have grown this last year! And now with 2020 on the horizon, there are sure to be many more adventures awaiting! Until then, let's get up and GO!
