Pokémon GO Community Day (Japanese: コミュニティ・デイ Community Day) is a monthly in-game event in Pokémon GO that features specific Pokémon through limited-time increased spawn rates and obtainable exclusive moves for six hours (from 11 A.M to 5 P.M local time). Recent Community Day events have allowed players to obtain these exclusive moves up to two hours after the regular time window.

During these events, different resource bonuses occur, such as increased XP gain or decreased Egg distances. Field Research tasks specific to the Community Day event are also available during the three hour period.

During the Community Day event, the featured Pokémon is much more likely to be Shiny than usual (at about a 1/25 chance[1]); additionally, the Community Day event is usually the first time the Pokémon's Shiny coloration is available.

Event time

As of April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Community Day times are 11 A.M until 5 P.M. local time. Incenses activated during the event also last three hours.

Since the October 2018 Community Day, exclusive moves learned by an evolution of a featured Pokémon are obtainable up to one hour after the end of the event; and on the September 2019 Community Day, this time window was increased to two hours.

Past event times

January 2018 to February 2019

The event ran at one of three GMT times, depending on the player's location. The three different regions were as follows.

  • Asia-Pacific, from 12:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. JST (GMT +9)
  • Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India, from 10:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. UTC (GMT +0)
  • The Americas and Greenland, from 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. PST (GMT -8)

March 2019 to June 2019

Community Day times were changed to 3 P.M. until 6 P.M. local time.

July 2019 to August 2019

Community Day times were changed to 4 P.M. until 7 P.M. local time, due to the northern hemisphere summer.

September 2019 to November 2019

Community Day times were changed to 11 A.M. until 2 P.M. local time.

January 2020 to February 2020

Community Days times were changed to:

  • 11 A.M. until 2 P.M. local time in the northern hemisphere
  • 3 P.M. until 6 P.M. local time in the southern hemisphere
