With the start of December right around the corner, Niantic has released the complete event calendar for Pokemon GO, and it seems like the developers have some exciting plans for the end of the year and the Holiday season.
November was a relatively slow month for Pokemon GO fans. While there were a few interesting events, such as the Festival of Lights, fans were left lacking for big events. For December, Niantic is bringing holiday-themed events and a special Community Day this time around, focusing on not just one Pokemon but all Pokemon that have been featured across Community Days throughout 2022 and 2023.
