Pokemon Go's final Community Day of the year takes place this weekend. Unlike normal Community Day events, which last for a few hours on one day and focus on one Pokemon species, this weekend's Community Day event is a two-day mega-event that brings back every Pokemon species that got a Community Day over the last two years. Over 20 species will be featured in December's Community Day event, which starts December 12th at 6 AM and runs through December 13th at 10 PM, and all of those Pokemon can learn their exclusive Community Day moves. This weekend's event is a great chance to grab some Shiny Pokemon, add a few powerful Pokemon to your collection, and take advantage of some extra bonuses to build up your Stardust reserves.
Here's everything you need to know about this weekend's Community Day Mega Event
December 2020 Community Day Featured Pokemon
