As previously noted, there are some very solid rewards to be earned by working through the December Community Day 2022 Special Research. In particular, the two Elite TMs are sure to catch the eyes of many players, and the Poffin is also fairly desirable. While it is true that not everyone will feel that these three rewards justify the price of the December Community Day 2022 Ticket, fans that do buy it can rest assured that they are getting good value.

With respect to the tasks that players must complete in order to earn these rewards, they are all quite straightforward. In fact, the only tasks that may cause any amount of confusion are those that instruct Pokemon GO players to catch featured Pokemon, as some fans may be unclear about which Pokemon have that designation. Here are lists that should alleviate that confusion and make it quite easy to complete the associated tasks:

  • Sandshrew
  • Alolan Sandshrew
  • Alolan Geodude
  • Hoppip
  • Spheal
  • Stufful
  • Teddiursa
  • Galarian Zigzagoon
  • Starly
  • Roggenrola
  • Litwick
  • Deino

One final thing to mention is that while Pokemon GO's December Community Day 2022 will only occur between the hours of 2pm and 5pm local time on Saturday and Sunday, it is indicated that featured Pokemon can appear from 9am to 9pm. That said, it should be much easier to complete the tasks that focus on featured Pokemon during the event, due to increased spawn rates, and fans are advised to plan accordingly.

Pokemon GO is available on Android and iOS devices.
