Niantic is launching a special end-of-year Catch-a-thon event in Pokémon Go, giving players another shot at catching Community Day Pokémon and earning exclusive rewards, including shiny versions of featured creatures. This event is a great opportunity for those who missed previous Community Day events.
The Catch-a-thon takes place on December 21st and 22nd, from 2 pm to 5 pm local time. Featured Pokémon include:
- December 21st: Bellsprout, Chansey, Goomy, Rowlet, Litten, and Bounsweet.
- December 22nd: Mankey, Ponyta, Galarian Ponyta, Sewaddle, Tynamo, and Popplio.
During the final ten minutes of each hour, players can encounter Porygon, Cyndaquil, Bagon, and Beldum. The event also boasts 2x XP for catching Pokémon and 2x Stardust, plus numerous other rewards.
This year has been huge for Pokémon Go, with significant updates like the introduction of Gigantamax. This Catch-a-thon serves as a fitting end-of-year community event. While the timing might seem close to the holidays, dedicated Pokémon Go players are likely to participate.
