All Pokémon Go December Community Day 2022 Special and Timed Research tasks and rewards

There are so many Pokémon to keep track of here.

It is time for the biggest Community Day event of the year. Pokémon Go is welcoming every featured Pokémon from the last two years for a special two-day event to close things out for 2022. This means you will encounter a specific set of Pokémon in the wild, through Eggs, and in raids on Dec. 17 and 18—all with increased Shiny odds.

Whether you are interested in the likes of regional variants, Deino, Mudkip, or even just looking to evolve a few more Ursaring into Ursaluna, you should be prepared to grind from 9am to 9pm local time on both days. Shiny odds will only be increased during the standard 2pm to 5pm slots, but spawns for the featured Pokémon will be increased throughout the entire extended time. 

And along with those boosted Shiny odds, you have plenty of bonuses like double XP, Stardust, and Candy for catching Pokémon, a 50 percent reduction to Egg hatch distance when using Incubators, and much more. 

There will also be two sets of research to complete, a free Timed Research, and the usual $1 ticketed Special Research story. So if you are planning to be out and about collecting dozens of Pokémon, here is an easy list of research tasks and rewards to go along with the event.
