The Community Day for December 2021 in Pokemon GO is going to be jam-packed with special bonuses and Pokemon spawns.

Pokemon GO veterans know that Community Days usually last a day. This December Community Day will last an entire weekend, though. It will give plenty of time for trainers to catch the various Pokemon available.

The Community Day for December in Pokemon GO will start on Saturday, December 18. It will run from 11 am to 5 pm local time, after which it will resume on Sunday, December 19, from 11 am to 5 pm local time.

Instead of one Pokemon, Community Day will feature all the Pokemon featured on Community Days throughout 2021. On Saturday, the Pokemon featured in the first half of the year will appear frequently. The following day will be devoted to the Pokemon from Community Days of the latter half of the year.

The full list of Pokemon appearing on Saturday, December 18, is:

  • Machop
  • Roselia
  • Swablu
  • Gible
  • Snivy
  • Fletchling

All Pokemon spawning on the following day are:

  • Eevee
  • Duskull
  • Shinx
  • Tepig
  • Oshawott

In addition to all of these Pokemon, the Pokemon from 2020 Community Days can all be caught as well. Trainers can get a hold of these Pokemon through hatching Eggs or Raid battles.

The full list of these Pokemon are as follows:

  • Charmander
  • Weedle
  • Abra
  • Gastly
  • Rhyhorn
  • Magikarp
  • Porygon
  • Elekid (Electabuzz in Raids)
  • Magby (Magmar in Raids)
  • Seedot
  • Piplup
  • Budew (only through Eggs)

Shiny hunters will be ecstatic to know that every single one of these Pokemon has a chance at being shiny. This is a great opportunity to catch shiny forms of Pokemon that they couldn’t catch during the original Community Day.
