Which events are worth it in December in Pokémon GO?
These are the most exciting events: In December you can look forward to some highlights. You should particularly keep an eye on the following:
- The Community Day in December is traditionally big and usually brings back many old highlight Pokémon. We assume that this will be the case again this year.
- The season start of the new season right at the beginning of the month will be interesting. Note that you can now perform two free raids every day.
- The Christmas and New Year events are generally always worth it.
- Gigantamax Lapras will be exciting, but will likely need a lot of trainers to defeat.
In general, Gigantamax has taken on an important role in Pokémon GO since the last season. The new bosses belong to the most difficult you can battle in Pokémon GO. Has the feature perhaps even become too hard? You can read more about the topic of Gigantamax by MeinMMO author Paul Kutzner here.
