Since its inception in the year 2016, the highly interactive Pokemon GO has come a long way. It has made people go crazy about the Pokemon world that started just like a regular TV show. Initially, the augmented reality game featured many issues, but it also had positive feedback from the user. There were a lot of debates and controversies related to the game, as it resulted in various accidents and nuisance around the globe. Nevertheless, the game easily managed to cover a wide scope of audience and currently makes billions in revenue.

It is no wonder that the game became so popular that it also led to the production of a movie. It was not entirely about the game, but Pokemon was a major protagonist. Today the game has a hype among the players all over the world, which is why the Pokemon GO community day is organized every month. The next community day will be on the 14th and 15th of December 2019. Let's dive into the details of the coming community day!!!

December Community Day

Community Day, by definition, is that day of the month when trainers or players meet at certain locations to share the experience of the game. This day offers the chance for trainers to make new friends and learn various things about the game.

1) Date and Time

Over the years, Niantic has made many incredible add ons to the Pokemon GO community day to make it more engaging for the trainers.

Yes, you heard it right, the coming community day, will be seen on the 14th and 15th of December between 9 AM to 9 PM. Isn't that awesome?

Earlier, the community day was just for the time of 2-3 hours for one day, but this time it is for 24 hours distributed among two days.

2) Featured Pokémons

Now, as you are well versed with the timing of the event, let's take a look at the other aspects of the community day.

3) Backup

Now, as you have a full list of potential Pokemon that might appear during the two-day event of Pokemon GO community day. It is clearly essential to make all the arrangements in advance, so you don't run out of necessary items during the event. There are plenty of factors to be taken care of, let's start with the Pokeballs.

There are three types of poke balls, named Pokéball, Great Ball and Ultra Ball.
Make sure you are stocked up with a large number of them as you will need them for catching the mentioned Pokemon.

The other thing that you need to take care of is the Lure module. They are useful for attracting Pokemon to the Pokestop for 30 minutes. Make sure you throw them wherever you find a number of pokestops nearby each other. Also, keep an oversight on the free incubators, you will need them to hatch the eggs.

Let's Catch Up Again

The community day is still half a month ahead; hence, you have enough time to prepare for it. Study about the Pokemon mentioned and stock up your game inventory with Pokeballs, eggs, and Lure Modules. Go and meet new trainers that are experienced and qualified, you will need them when you are fighting the Pokemon at the gym. Keep the power banks charged as its gonna be a long weekend for you. Go and enjoy the fun weekend of Pokemon GO community day.
