All December Community Day 2024 Special Research task and rewards in Pokémon Go

Return to the previous Community Day Pokémon featured throughout 2024 and complete this Special Research.

One of the bigger final events to close out the year has returned to Pokémon Go, the last Community Day. Rather than feature one Pokémon, the December Community Day brings back all the ones that happened throughout the year, giving everyone a second chance.

It’s a rare opportunity to track down all Pokémon that have appeared for Community Days during 2024. This means if you evolve one of these particular Pokémon during the event, they’ll learn a powerful move they usually couldn’t learn. You’d typically have to use an Elite Training Machine to do this outside of the event, and there’s a Special Research you can finish during it, but you’ll need to act quickly. Here’s a full breakdown of all the tasks and rewards you need to do to complete the December Community Day 2024 Special Research in Pokémon Go.

This is paid Special Research you can grab during the December 2024 Community Day event. If you’re planning to partake in the event and you’re considering grabbing this Special Research, keep in mind that the event runs from Dec. 21 to Dec. 22. You two days to focus on these tasks, and to make the most of catching the Pokémon that appear during the Special Research.

Each reward features the previous Community Day Pokémon, but you have to evolve them to their final form to get the use of the attack move they can learn. For example, you need to evolve Goomy into Goodra, and it can learn the Charged Move Thunder Punch. If you don’t do this before the event ends on Dec. 22 in your local area, you’ll miss out on the chance to teach it this attack.
