Pokémon Go Community Days December 2021: Dates, Rewards, Special Research & More!

For December, Pokémon Go brings back all this year's previous Community Day Pokémon! Every Pokémon that was featured from Jan. to Nov. will receive a second dose of boosted wild encounter rates.

December Community Day

Timeframe

No matter where you are, the event lasts from 11am to 5pm local time on Dec. 18, 2021 and Dec. 19, 2021. This means that people living on the East coast will begin the event several hours sooner than people living on the West coast. However, it also means the event ends sooner for them!
