2019 is coming to a close, which means it's time for another massive end of the year Pokemon GO Community Day Weekend Event. Just like last year, the event is bringing back all of the Pokemon that have been featured throughout the year to give players one more chance to catch and evolve a bunch of them with the Exclusive Moves and find some shiny spawns. With the event spanning two days, some trainers may be a little confused about how the timing is going to work.
Unlike a usual Pokemon GO Community Day, which runs for three hours in the early afternoon, the Community Weekend has a bit of a more complicated setup. Spawns are going to be increased throughout most of the day, but other bonuses will only be available during the usual Community Day window. Sound complicated? We can break it down a bit more.
The following schedule breaks down exactly when each bonus and increased spawn takes place over the next 48 hours...
