December Community Day 2020 in 12 and 13th

Niantic has revealed the plans for Pokémon GO's December 2020 Community Day. This will, as predicted, be a two-day event rehashing prior Community Days... with a catch. Here's what's going on and what you should be aware of.

Niantic took to their Pokémon GO blog to announce:
December Community Day: As we say goodbye to 2020, let's take a look back on the Community Days we shared together. This year, our final Community Day event will be held on Saturday, December 12, and Sunday, December 13, 2020. Throughout the event, Pokémon featured in Community Day events throughout 2019 and 2020 will be appearing more frequently in the wild and in raids, so this event will be a great time for you to catch Pokémon featured in any Community Day events you may have missed! Stay tuned for more details soon!

Soo December Community Day 2020 is here!

Now, take notice of one important point. Previous recap Community Days included a method to get every previous Community Day Pokémon. In 2018, for example, the December summary included all previously highlighted species in the wild. 2019's summary included 2019 Community Day features in the wild with 2018 raid features. As we go forward into the 2020 recap, there is no mention of any of the 2018 features being accessible. Among others, prominent Pokémon GO dataminer Kelvin has already rushed to Twitter to report that this implies the 2018 Community Day moves will not be accessible for the recap. While this may irritate some trainers, I would advise them to be patient and consider what Niantic stated regarding Charizard and Blast Burn earlier this autumn. They have revealed that Blast Burn will be accessible for Charizard during an event in 2021. Will there be another rehash of prior Community Day elements in 2021, or will this be a Charizard-only event? Or how about a starters-only event? We don't know yet, but there is still hope for those 2018 Community Day Pokémon!

Other Bonuses

In addition to the enhanced Pokemon spawning, Niantic will provide a few benefits throughout the Community Day weekend in December. Every day of the event, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time, you'll receive twice as much Stardust for catching Pokemon. Furthermore, eggs will hatch at a fraction of the normal distance, and any Incense you apply will be active for three hours. This is a fantastic move by Niantic that will enable gamers who may not have a single day to participate in the annual Pokemon GO Community Day Event to do so throughout the whole weekend! Catch me outdoors capturing a shiny Magikarp till the event concludes on December 13!

Dewgong #087

Image
Biology Dewgong is a pure white, fluffy pinniped Pokémon. In icy weather, its fur makes it practically inconspicuous. It has two black eyes, a black nose, and two tusks that protrude from its upper jaw. It features a sleek body, two front flippers, and a long, flowing tail. Even in very cold and ice-packed waters, its tail permits it to swim at rates of up to 8 knots. A pointed horn on top of its head helps it to cut through the thickest ice floes. It dwells on icebergs floating in freezing ocean waters. It thrives in cooler conditions, becoming more active as the temperature drops. It is absolutely unaffected by even the most harsh cold conditions because it stores thermal energy inside its body. It rests on severely cold ice or beneath shallow water throughout the day. However, as the temperature lowers at night, it transforms into a hunter and seeks for prey such as Wishiwashi. It sunbathes on the beach after eating. This elevates its body temperature and facilitates digestion.

Medicham #308

Image
Biology Medicham is a humanoid, bipedal Pokémon that resembles a yoga practitioner. It has a gray body with red and yellow adornments. A red headpiece with three bulb-like extensions covers the upper portion of its head: one on top and one on either side. The bulb on top is short on a female Medicham. Its large, focused eyes are slightly covered by the headpiece, and its red lips seem to be in a rounded or puckered position. Its legs appear to be covered with puffy, red pants that have a large yellow spot on the knees and yellow bands next to the hips. As Mega Medicham, its headpiece now resembles a white turban with a yellow stone in the center. The red extension in the back is retained, and there are five white extensions on the turban, three extending from the stone and one on either side of its head. There is now a gold band on each wrist and additional gold bands around its waist. Several blue, teardrop-shaped decorations hang from the lowest hip band. Using its enhanced wi
