Summary

  • Niantic announced the dates of four Community Days and six other events for Pokemon GO Season 13, starting in early December.
  • The next Community Day events will be on December 17, January 6, January 20 (Community Day Classic), and February 4.
  • Niantic has yet to provide specific details about the events.

Niantic announced the dates of four Community Days and six other events scheduled to debut during Pokemon GO Season 13. The yet-unnamed series of winter events will kick off in early December, as soon as the Pokemon GO Adventures Abound season comes to a close.

Pokemon GO Seasons are large-scale quarterly events that mimic seasonal changes in the real world. Niantic first introduced this gameplay mechanic to its hit mobile game in late 2020. The currently-ongoing Pokemon GO season started on September 1 and will run until December 1.

Beyond that, Niantic already has the next three months' worth of content planned out, having just announced the Pokemon GO Season 13 Community Day dates. The first of those events is scheduled to take place over the weekend ending December 17, and will be followed by CDs on the 6th and 20th of January. The latter date is reserved for a Community Day Classic, while the final such Season 13 event is set to take place on February 4.

  • Saturday and Sunday, December 16–17, 2023
  • Saturday, January 6, 2024
    • Rumored to feature Vanillite

  • Saturday, January 20, 2024 (Community Day Classic)
  • Sunday, February 4, 2024

Niantic also revealed it's planning to hold three unrelated in-game events throughout December, as well as two more in January. The final confirmed event for Pokemon GO Season 13 is taking place on February 11. Apart from the aforementioned reveal that the January 20 happening will revolve around yet another Community Day Classic, the developer has yet to attach any specific details to the newly shared dates. That notwithstanding, its track record suggests that the fandom can count on many new event Pokemon arriving to Pokemon GO over the coming weeks.

Other Pokemon GO Season 13 Event Dates

  • Sunday, December 3, 2023
  • Saturday, December 9, 2023
  • Saturday, December 23, 2023
    • Rumored to feature Wyrdeer Raid Day

  • Sunday, January 14, 2024
  • Saturday and Sunday, January 27–28, 2024
  • Sunday, February 11, 2024

The newly announced dates partially match the recently leaked Pokemon GO roadmap for December and January. Specifically, that previous rumor suggested December 23 will mark the start of the second part of the game's holiday event, which will include the Wyrdeer Raid Day. The two-day Community Day in mid-December was also mentioned as part of the same leak. But while Niantic historically held Community Day Classics in December, the developer now confirmed that this yearly recap is being pushed to January 20.

The leak also alleged that a so-called Falling Stars promo is scheduled to take place on December 5, followed by the first part of the 2023 holiday event ten days later. However, Niantic's Season 13 roadmap for Pokemon GO makes no mention of either of those dates, indicating that the developer either rescheduled the two events or is still holding back on their announcements, assuming the leak itself was legitimate.
