The latest Pokemon GO Community Day is here and the December edition brings with it lots to do, including an exclusive Timed Research that you will have to complete across the two day event.

Last year, Pokemon GO decided to do a best of the year type event for the December Community Day and Niantic is continuing that trend once again with December Community Day 2021. Making it even better is that Pokemon that were the focus of Community Day in 2020 will also be appearing in raids and eggs as well.

During these two days, all of the Pokemon that were the focus of a Community Day during 2021 will be in the spotlight, giving players a chance to catch what they missed during the year along with some new tasks and rewards.

When is Pokemon GO December Community Day 2021?

Pokemon GO December Community Day 2021 is a two day event across Saturday, December 18, and Sunday, December 19, 2021.

The event will take place between the hours of 11:00 am local time and 5:00 pm local time on each of the two days like a typical Community Day would.

While the spawns and such for the Community Day event end at 5:00 pm local time on Sunday, December 19, you will have a little extra time to complete the Timed Research.

The Timed Research for December Community Day 2021 will be available in the game from Saturday, December 18, at 11:00 am lcoal time until Monday, December 20, at 10:00 am local time.

This is a great thing since the tasks are not related to the actual catching of any specific Pokemon for the Timed Research, unlike the Special Research.
