Trainers! As we head into the last month of 2026 and look forward to the start of the new Pokémon GO Season as well as 2027, we now have the dates for the Season’s Community Day, along with other special events in December, January, and February. Let’s clock them in!
Community Day Events
The dates for next Season’s Community Days are as follows:
- 🗓️ Saturday and Sunday, December 12–13, 2026
- 🗓️ Saturday, January 2, 2027 (Community Day Classic)
- 🗓️ Saturday, January 16, 2027
- 🗓️ Saturday, February 6, 2027
The last Community Day Classic was Gible, and starting the year with this event would be the perfect way to go. It looks like it could be a Grass starter like Chikorita or Treecko. Or would it be another Pseudo Legendary line such as Larvitar? Either way, this should ideally be a memorable one!
Coming to the new Community Days, we’re now done with all existing First Partner Pokémon lines from the mainline games, so the spotlight would definitely go to a bunch of unlikely/surprising candidates. These could include Sandile, Horsea, or a mixed generation like Meowth! Perhaps a curveball with Basculegion, which would be a debut and a new shiny, with the shiny of its pre-evolution (Basculin) already available in-game.
Other Event Dates
Community Days aren’t the only events on the horizon for the coming Season—there are other fun in-game events on the way, and their dates are as follows:
- 🔮 Saturday, December 5, 2026 (Max Battle Day)
- ⚔️ Sunday, December 19, 2026 (Raid Day)
- 🥚 Saturday, December 26, 2026 (Hatch Day)
- ⚔️ Saturday, January 9, 2027 (Super Mega Raid Day)
- 🔮 Saturday, January 23, 2027 (Max Battle Day)
- ⚔️ Saturday, January 30, 2027 (Super Mega Raid Day)
- ⚔️ Saturday, February 13, 2027 (Raid Day)
The next Season is surely going to be quite heavy on Raids and Max Battles, with only one of the seven dates given being a non-Raid/ Max Battle event! There are two Super Mega Raid Days, and speculation has been rife about Mega Drampa being one of the debutants. The other could probably be Mega Froslass or even a colossal meta-shaker like Mega Baxcalibur? Honestly, Mega Bax could fit later in the year, and we could see something along the lines of Mega Drampa, Froslass, Excadrill, or Scolipede.
The Max Battle Day events, however, will likely feature a top-notch threat. A Gigantamax does look to be on the cards. Finally, February’s Raid Day is more or less confirmed to be themed around Valentine’s Day. The shiny debut of Enamorus could be great for the event.
One thing’s for sure: we are in for an exciting new Season that would match the hype of a new year in Pokémon GO!
