Once again, we are going to celebrate Pokemon Go Community Day in December where Pokemon Go trainers will have the chance to encounter all previously featured Pokemon in Community Days. Trainers can catch Pokemon from 2021 and 2022 of Community Days on a 2-day December event. Players who missed out on Community Day events this year will have another go in encountering the featured Pokemon during the December 2022 event. 

The December 2022 Community Day will feature on Saturday December 17, 2022 and Sunday December 18, 2022, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time, respectively for the event. Pokemon will be spawning for a solid three hours on each of the two event days, giving bonuses and increased chances of finding a Shiny. This will also give players the opportunity for a total of six hours between both Community Day dates to complete Timed Research and Special Research available via free and paid gameplay.

As mentioned, the event will only feature Pokemon in the past Community Days and would not introduce any new Community Day Pokemon so grab this opportunity to catch previous Pokemon and have a go at evolving them with multiple catches. Outside of the indicated times, any of the featured Pokemon has a chance to appear between 9 am and 9 pm on both days of December 17 and December 18.
