The year is almost over and we're on the way to the last month. This is going to be an exciting time in Pokémon GO especially with the last Community Day of 2023. Making things even better is that the Community Day is taking place on two days, which are December 16 and December 17, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
During this event, Pokémon which has been featured in Community Day events during the year are set to appear more frequently in the wild and even as reward encounters for Timed Research. Meanwhile, Pokémon featured in Community Day events back in 2022 are going to hatch from Eggs and appear in raids and as reward encounters for Timed Research. There's no doubt that this is a good way to wrap up a fun year.
