Pokemon Go December 2022 Community Day: Everything You Need to Know

Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, revealed details about the December 2022 Pokemon Go Community Day event.

This event will take place on two days – December 17, 2022 and December 18, 2022 – from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time on each day.

Different Pokemon will appear in the wild during the three-hour event period each day.

On the Pokemon Go website, Niantic said, “The Pokémon that appear during this time will have the same chance of appearing as a Shiny Pokémon as those that appeared during their original Community Days. Outside of these times, any of the featured Pokémon may appear from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time on either Saturday or Sunday!”

Bulbasaur, Dratini, and Mudkip will also have the chance to appear in the wild during the December 2022 Community Day event, though the Pokemon Go website indicated they’ll be rarer than the other Pokemon that will be featured in this event.

• Lure Modules will remain active for three hours when activated during this event.
• Incense will remain active for three hours when activated during this event.
• Players will be able to perform one additional Special Trade each day during this event.
