Game Freak’s continuation of the core Pokémon RPG series with Sword and Shield has been demanding the lion’s share of attention as of late. So much so, in fact, that the latest event headed to Pokémon Go is likely to have flown under the radar for many Trainers. You won’t want to miss this particular occasion, either, as it’s a rather special one indeed.
As a means of celebrating yet another successful year for the spinoff mobile title, developer Niantic is closing out 2019 with one final Community Day. Unlike those held over the last several months, however, December isn’t themed around just one, two or even three Pokémon, but eleven. The final number, as if it wasn’t already obvious, consists of every Pocket Monster to have headlined this year’s popular Community Days, meaning fans have one final chance to secure some lucrative catches if they missed out the first time around.
All of the Pokémon featured are findable through normal play, of course, but what sets these particular versions apart from their standard counterparts are exclusive moves. These abilities, often some of the best available, are unlocked only by evolving each ‘Mon during the event period and, fortunately, all of them are making a return, too.
So, without further ado, see below for the full two-day schedule.
Note: both event days run from 9 am to 9 pm in your local time zone.
Community Day Schedule: Saturday, December 14, 2019
- Pokémon appearing more frequently in the wild: Totodile, Swinub, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Ralts, Slakoth, Trapinch, Bagon, Turtwig, and Chimchar
