The Pokémon Go Community Day is a reoccurring, monthly event highlighting a specific Pokémon that encourages players to get out and play together worldwide.
Each event will see increased spawns of the Pokémon for a limited time, and give them an exclusive Community Day move for their final evolution – and several other bonuses you can take advantage of during the event itself.
This page features not only the next Community Day date and time and highlighted Pokémon, but also a Community Day list of all previous events and their respective exclusive moves in Pokémon Go.

Community Day usually takes place on one weekend day every month and lasts a total of three hours.
As well as increasing spawns of the highlighted Pokémon, there are bonuses during that period of time – such as double XP, Stardust or Lure Modules – as additional incentives to get out there and playing, including the highlighted Pokémon having an increased chance of being shiny, and the ability to reach the highlighted Pokémon’s evolution an exclusive move.
It’s a great way to get resources and a rare version of the highlighted Pokémon, but it’s as the name suggests, is a great way to team up with other players.
You may find other Pokémon Go players will be out and about with you, which might make it easier to co-ordinate completing Raids or doing Trades, so keep that in mind during the period.

How useful is this Community Day?
Honestly, this Community Day is only useful if you’re missing the Solosis evolution line from your Pokédex or want a shiny Solosis. Warning though – shiny Solosis, and the other shiny forms in its evolution line, are not exciting at all. In fact, if it weren’t for the shiny sparkles, you might not even notice you’re facing a shiny Solosis! Still, it needs to be caught if you want a full shiny collection.
