What is Community Day in-game?
Monthly 3-hour event featuring one species with boosted shiny rate (~1 / 25) and an exclusive move.
Monthly 3-hour event featuring one species with boosted shiny rate (~1 / 25) and an exclusive move.
Community Days run roughly once a month for 3 hours (sometimes 6 during special weeks). The featured species spawns at massively boosted rates, with shiny odds bumped to ~1 / 25 (instead of the usual 1 / 500).
The evolved form learns an exclusive move during the event window — typically a strong move that defines a new PvE or PvP niche (e.g. Frenzy Plant on Venusaur, Meteor Mash on Metagross).
After the event, the exclusive move can be unlocked via Elite Charged TM. Niantic re-releases CDs during December Recap weekends for a second shot at missed shinies.
