Pokémon Go is a game built on events running basically every week, whether they be big or small. Community Days might take up a single afternoon, but they are some of the most electric events that fans flock to—and here is everything that has and will happen for said community spotlight in 2023.

If you don’t know what a Community Day is, Niantic typically uses it as a way to put a clear focus on one single Pokémon. This means one species, outside of special events, will be spawning more frequently and with boosted Shiny odds to give players incentive to catch as many Pokémon as possible. 

There are other bonuses like double Candy for catching Pokémon, exclusive moves to learn, ticketed Special Research, and more to spice things up too. Niantic has even added an event-exclusive type of four-star raid that appears after the main Community Day event concludes, giving players even more to do. 

Depending on the month, Niantic typically only runs a single Community Day event. That has changed in recent years, with Community Day Classic appearing and bringing back previously featured Pokémon for a second round in the spotlight while giving players more events to participate in.

Once you get into the swing of things, Community Days can be some of the most useful recurring events to take part in. Here’s the full Community Day schedule for 2023, updated to include finished and officially announced upcoming events.
