Every Community Day, in order.

A monthly event, typically a 3-hour window on a Saturday (occasionally Sunday) from 2:00 to 5:00 PM local time. One featured Pokémon spawns at dramatically increased rates worldwide with a boosted shiny rate (approximately 1 in 25). Evolving the final form during the event window (and up to 2 hours after) teaches an exclusive Community Day Move not otherwise obtainable in the game.

No confirmed upcoming Community Day. Niantic typically announces the next month's feature 2-3 weeks ahead.

A rerun format that revives a previously featured Pokémon with its original exclusive move intact, for trainers who missed the original event. Niantic runs roughly one Classic per quarter. Recent Classics include Deino (May 2026), Piplup (January 2026), Totodile (March 2025), and Ralts (January 2025).

2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time in your region. The window is the same hour count everywhere; Niantic uses local time rather than a single global window. This means simultaneous "global play" across the planet doesn't happen; instead each region rolls through its own 3-hour slot.

The boosted shiny rate during Community Day is roughly 1 in 25 (about 4% per encounter). This is dramatically higher than the standard ~1 in 500 rate. Across a 3-hour grind most committed players expect 10 to 30 shinies, depending on encounter pace and bonuses.

3x catch XP, 3-hour Incense duration, 3-hour Lures, photobombs from the featured species, and a paid Special Research ticket ($1.00 to $1.99) with extra rewards. Some Community Days add bonus stardust or candy multipliers as event-specific extras.
