Pokemon GO's new season is beginning, with many new events in store for its players, including but not limited to spotlight hour events, community days, and more. Each event allows players to get different rewards or catch different Pokemon and have chances of getting a Shiny version of it as well.
Events happen every month in Pokemon GO, but not on the same dates. The only events that happen that can be predicted are the spotlight hour events, as they take place every Tuesday from 6 pm to 7 pm local time. However, almost every other event cannot be predicted as to when it will take place, and so far December is packed with many events especially since the holidays are right around the corner. This guide lists all the dates for events in Pokemon GO December 2024.

Players will have a lot to keep them busy as Pokemon GO has plenty of entertaining and profitable events coming up over the next weeks. With almost all Pokemon on the lineup being able to be caught in a Shiny form, it makes it even more exciting. As an extra tip, players will want to stock up on candies and Pokeballs where they can before a lot of these events, to allow them to be able to catch Pokemon with ease - but also make sure to have some extra bag space as well.
Those are all of the events happening in December 2024 on Pokemon GO. The year is going out on a high note for sure with all the things happening in-game, but be sure to check back for January's events as well coming next month.
