Niantic has confirmed the next three Community Day dates for Pokémon GO’s Autumn 2026 season — and the first one, Gible, is now fully revealed. Here’s every date locked in so far, plus what else is planned for the season around them.
Upcoming Community Day Dates
| Date | Event | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday, September 12, 2026 | Community Day Classic — Gible | 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. local time |
| Saturday, October 10, 2026 | Community Day | 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. local time |
| Saturday, November 21, 2026 | Community Day | To be confirmed |
The Gible Community Day Classic on September 12 has concluded. Gible and its evolutions get increased spawns, 3x Catch XP, a 3-hour Incense, and evolving Gabite into Garchomp during the event window unlocks the Charged Attack Earth Power. There’s also a Lure Module bonus running until 9:00 p.m. local time that day, well past the main 2–5 p.m. window. For the full breakdown — Field Research, the Collection Challenge, Special Research ticket, and Shiny odds — see our dedicated Gible Community Day Classic guide. Niantic hasn’t officially named the October 10 or November 21 featured Pokémon yet. A Silph Road datamine has fueled unconfirmed rumors that Zorua could be the October 10 Pokémon, but treat that as speculation until Niantic confirms it — we’ll update this page the moment either date is announced.
What is a Community Day Classic?
Unlike a standard Community Day, a Community Day Classic typically brings back a Pokémon that has already had its own Community Day in the past, giving trainers a second chance to stock up on a strong evolution or a Shiny they missed the first time. Niantic doesn’t always confirm which past Community Day Pokémon is returning until closer to the date, so keep an eye on official channels in the days leading up to September 12.
Other Confirmed Autumn Season Events
Alongside the three Community Day dates, Niantic’s official “save the dates” announcement also confirmed a full slate of weekend events running through the end of November 2026:
- Super Mega Raid Day — Saturday, September 19, 2026
- Catch Mastery — Saturday, September 26, 2026
- Super Mega Raid Day — Saturday, October 3, 2026
- Hatch Day — Saturday, October 17, 2026
- Max Battle Day — Saturday, October 24, 2026
- Super Mega Raid Day — Saturday, October 31, 2026
- Super Mega Raid Day — Saturday, November 28, 2026
That’s four separate Super Mega Raid Days in one season, so Mega Evolution is clearly a season-long focus. Featured Pokémon and specific bonuses for each event are still to be announced — as with the Community Days above, Niantic typically confirms specifics roughly one to two weeks ahead of each date. Check our Mega Raid rotation guide for how the current Mega lineup looks heading into these events.
Community Day vs. Community Day Classic
The September 12 event is specifically labeled a “Classic,” which means it brings back a Pokémon that already had a standard Community Day in the past, giving players who missed it (or want a second shiny) another shot — usually including its exclusive Charged Move again. October and November are listed as standard Community Days, which more often (though not always) feature a Pokémon that hasn’t had the spotlight before.
How to Prepare for Community Day
Since the featured Pokémon isn’t known yet, the best way to get ready is to stock up on general resources that make any Community Day easier: keep your Poké Ball count high, clear out Pokémon Storage space in advance, and save up Stardust and Candy for whatever evolution ends up being featured. If you want a refresher on how Community Day bonuses typically work — increased spawns, bonus Candy for catches, and a special move available only during the event window — our Beginner’s Guide covers the basics of how these limited-time bonuses stack with your regular play.
