Prepare for Frosty Festivities: Pokémon GO Unveils December Community Day, Holiday Event with Shiny Pokémon & More
Pokémon GO is dashing through the snow with a flurry of exciting updates just in time for the holidays! December is shaping up to be a month full of festive fun and rare Pokémon encounters for trainers around the world.
Mark Your Calendars: Community Days for December
Get ready for not one, but two Pokémon GO Community Days this December!
The first one will be held on Saturday, December 2nd, putting the spotlight on the Ice/Poison-type Pokémon, Bergmite. During that day, Bergmite will appear more frequently in the wild, making it easier for trainers to catch and evolve Avalugg.
Evolution Bonus: Evolve Avalugg during the event, or up to two hours after it ends, to get a special move.
A second Community Day, focusing on the fan-favorite Fire Mage Pokémon, Torchic, is scheduled for Sunday, December 17. During this event, Torchic will be more likely to appear, allowing trainers to stock up on the adorable Pokémon.
Evolution Bonus: Evolving Blaziken (Torchic’s final evolution) during the event, or up to two hours afterward, will teach it a special move.
These are fantastic opportunities for players to obtain optimized frontline fighters or add new Pokemon masterpieces to their Pokédex.
