All Community Days from 2023 at a glance
What are Community Days anyway? In Pokémon GO, a multi-hour event is held every month, focusing on a designated Pokémon. You can then find it almost everywhere in the wild, and its shiny rates are significantly increased. These events are rounded off with changing bonuses and subsequent Level 4 raids.
Additionally, every few months, a so-called Community Day Classic takes place, focusing on a monster that was previously available in this event format. We have summarized all the monsters you could encounter in 2023 below.
1. Igamaro
This year, the Community Days kicked off with the plant Pokémon Igamaro. The small hedgehog could be found everywhere in the wild on January 7th for 3 hours, and also celebrated its shiny debut on this occasion. When evolving to Brigaron, you could also secure the event move Flora Statue
. The hatching distance of your eggs was reduced to a quarter during this time.
2. Larvitar
On January 21st, Larvitar returned in the Community Day Classic. The rock and ground Pokémon from Generation 2 brought you not only a lot of spawns and an increased shiny rate but also the event move Catapult
when evolving to Tyranitar. Additionally, you could enjoy triple XP for catching on this day.
Tyranitar, the evolution of Larvitar, is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. You can see which monsters are also worth it in the following video:
3. eF-eM
In February, the flying and dragon Pokémon eF-eM was in the spotlight of the Community Day. In this one, you could also hunt wild specimens and especially shinies for 3 hours. If you evolved it to UHaFnir, it learned the event move Sonic Boom
. Additionally, you could farm triple stardust for catching on this day.
4. Flegmon & Galar-Flegmon
The Community Day Pokémon in March came in a double pack, as the water and psychic Pokémon Flegmon appeared not only in its regular form but was accompanied by its Galar form. Both spawned in the wild for three hours, gave you triple XP for catching, and of course could also be secured as shinies. When evolving, you could benefit from the event move Surfer
.
5. Togetic
The joy Pokémon Togetic appeared for the Community Day in April. Not only could you benefit from numerous wild spawns, but you could also hatch shiny Togepi from the event eggs with a bit of luck. Additionally, the hatching distance was reduced to a quarter for all eggs placed in an incubator during the event. If you also evolved Togetic, then Togekiss received the move Aura Sphere
.
6. Quiekel
Another Community Day in April was the C-Day Classic with Quiekel. The ice and ground Pokémon, which was already part of the event format in 2019, returned and brought you numerous spawns as well as triple stardust for catching. Who evolved Quiekel into Mamutel also secured the event move Ancient Power
.
7. Fynx
In May, the fire Pokémon Fynx from the 6th Generation made it hot in the game. With Flamethrower
and Magical Flame
, you could secure two new moves upon evolution. Additionally, you could also farm decent stardust for catching on this day.
8. Milza
As in previous years, a dragon Pokémon was again the focus of the Community Day in June: Milza. It was therefore a good opportunity to secure a shiny specimen of the otherwise shy monster. When evolving, Maxax also learned the charge move Broadside
and triple XP was earned for catching.
9. Schiggy
Matching the warm temperatures in July, Squirtle provided a cooling down during the Community Day Classic. Besides the event move Hydro Cannon
, which Blastoise could secure upon evolution, you had the chance to encounter a Squirtle with sunglasses. Additionally, your eggs hatched four times faster during this event. Since there were issues during this event, the complete C-Day was repeated again at the end of July.
10. Quapsel
For the regular Community Day in July, Niantic continued the series of water Pokémon and provided you encounters with Quapsel. The tadpole Pokémon also reduced your egg hatching distance by four times. Depending on how you evolved Quapsel, you could secure the event move Counter
for Quappo and Ice Beam
for Quaxo.
11. Froxy
And for the Community Day in August, it got wet again, as the water Pokémon Froxy spawned for three hours in the wild, providing some shiny encounters. If you evolved it to Quajutsu during the event period, you secured the event move Hydro Cannon
. Additionally, the evolution could also learn the instant move Water Shuriken
since then. Furthermore, there was triple stardust for catching during the event.
12. Glumanda
The second to last Community Day Classic this year brought you the starter Pokémon Charmander in September. With Dragon Breath
and Flamethrower
, Charizard learned two event moves on this day. Additionally, you could benefit from a triple stardust bonus for catching.
13. Mabula
For the Community Day in September, the bug Pokémon Mabula celebrated its shiny debut in the game. During the event, you could secure triple XP for catching. When evolving, Donarion also learned the electric move Volt Switch
.
14. Praktibalk
In October, the fighting Pokémon Praktibalk was the focus of the C-Day. The monster, which usually could only be found in raids, spawned around every corner on this day and offered good chances to snag a shiny specimen. Its evolution Meistagrif learned the event move Whirlwind
upon evolving. In addition, you could benefit from a stardust bonus for catching.
By the way: Praktibalk is one of the trade evolutions in Pokémon GO, allowing you to save important candies.
15. Felino & Paldea-Felino
For the Community Day in November, finally, two Pokémon awaited you again. The water and ground Pokémon Felino arrived with reinforcement from the Paldea region. Its Paldea variant celebrated its debut in the game that day and was also first catchable as shiny. Upon evolving, you could secure the charge move Drench Tail
for Morlord, and Suelord, the evolution of Paldea-Felino, received the move Many-Fin
. Additionally, the hatching distance for eggs was reduced to a quarter that day.
16. Voltilamm
In November, the last Community Day Classic for this year took place, where you could encounter the electric Pokémon Voltilamm. The little sheep granted you again a four-times shorter hatching distance for your eggs. Additionally, when evolving to Ampharos, you could benefit from the event move Dragon Pulse
.
17. Community Day Weekend
At the end of the year, the annual Community Day Weekend took place again on December 16th and 17th. During this, you had the opportunity to encounter all C-Day Pokémon from the current year in the wild once more. The monsters could learn their respective event moves upon evolving without using a TM.
The event was rounded off with various bonuses, such as double XP, stardust, and candies when catching, as well as a shortened hatch distance, special field research, and a limited research. Furthermore, you had the chance to find corresponding shinies again.
But that’s not all; the C-Day Pokémon from 2022 also appeared during this event in 2 km eggs and Level 1 raids. This way, you had the opportunity to secure the following monsters as well: Sandan, Alola-Sandan, Alola-Kleinstein, Hoppspross, Teddiursa, Galar-Zigzachs, Seemops, Staralili, Kiesling, Lichtel, Kapuno, and Velursi. These Pokémon could also learn their respective event moves upon evolving.
