All Pokémon Go: December Community Day 2023 event-exclusive Special Research tasks and rewards

December Community Day is always a wonderful time to play Pokémon Go, as every Pokémon from the previous two years of CD events returns for a double-feature weekend of fun. That means there will be two days of encounters, bonuses, and exclusive Research to complete. 

From 2pm to 5pm local time on Dec. 16 and 17, players will encounter up to 30 featured Pokémon in the wild, 2km Eggs, and one-star raids at various times. The Pokémon are split between different times, however, so you will only encounter some of them in one day.

On top of a bevy of event bonuses and Field Research, two pieces of event-exclusive Timed Research will be available to complete for free that offer more encounters with the featured Pokémon. A $1 ticketed Special Research story for the event is also live with dozens of rewards, including a Sinnoh Stone and Unova Stone. And don’t forget to work on your seasonal Timeless Travels Special Research while you enjoy the final Community Day of 2023.
