Part 2. What Rare Pokémon Return from Earlier Community Days?
As noted earlier, with the Pokémon Go December Community Day 2025 coming up, many rare and popular Pokémon from 2025 Community Days are returning.
For trainers who missed their earlier releases, this is the perfect chance to fill gaps in your collection! Below are six of the rarer picks you should watch out for:
6 Rarest Pokémon of December Community Day 2025
Jangmo-o
- Max CP: 1095
- Attack: 102
- Defense: 108
- Stamina: 128
Jangmo-o is a Dragon-type that has a very low spawn rate in the wild. In fact, it is one of the hardest Dragon-types to find in the wild in Pokémon Go. Therefore, make sure to catch it during the Pokémon Go December Community Day event.
Flabébé
- Max CP: 1202
- Attack: 108
- Defense: 120
- Stamina: 127
Flabébé is a regional Pokémon whose flower color depends on your region (e.g., Blue in Asia-Pacific, Red in MEA, and so on). The globally available colors, White and Orange, are extremely rare to come by outside of events.
Rookidee
- Max CP: 753
- Attack: 88
- Defense: 67
- Stamina: 116
Rookidee is a Galar-region flying-type bird that evolves into Corviknight. It rarely spawns in the wild, so its appearance during the Pokémon Go Community Day 2025 is a good rare-catch opportunity.
Pikipek
- Max CP: 1029
- Attack: 136
- Defense: 59
- Stamina: 111
Pikipek is a small woodpecker-type Pokémon that can evolve into much stronger forms. Even though it just featured recently, its spawn rate dropped quickly after its own Community Day event.
Karrablast
- Max CP: 1336
- Attack: 137
- Defense: 87
- Stamina: 137
Karrablast is a Bug-type Pokémon from the Unova region that has a low natural spawn rate, so finding it in the wild is very uncommon compared to more common Bug-types like Caterpie or Weedle.
Sprigatito
- Max CP: 1147
- Attack: 116
- Defense: 99
- Stamina: 120
Sprigatito is a Grass-type starter, and starters in Pokémon Go don’t usually spawn in the wild a lot, so getting Sprigatito during the Pokémon Go Community Day December 2025 event is quite valuable.
What Are Shiny Odds On Community Day?
During the Pokémon Go Community Day 2025 event, the chance to catch a shiny version of the featured Pokémon is the same as it was on their original Community Day.
Ways to Maximize Your Catch Rate on December Community Day
Use Incense + Lures
- Using Incense and Lure Modules during the event increases the spawn rates of featured Pokémons, and they last 3 hours.
Trade After You Catch
- You can do one extra Special Trades during the event at half the Stardust cost.
- Use it to get Pokémons from friends who catch two same featured Pokémons.
Special Research
- Buying the paid Special Research gives guaranteed encounters with previous Community Day Pokémons, among many other bonuses.
Field Research
- Event-themed Field Research tasks will be available that lead to encounters with Pokémon featured in previous Community Days in 2025.
Go to a PokéStop-rich Area
- More PokéStops means more spawn density and chance of encountering 2025 Community Day Pokémons.
Part 3. Exclusive Attack Moves to Evolve for December Community Day
A very good reason you should participate in the Pokémon Go Community Day 2025 event, even if you caught these Pokémons earlier, is that catching and then evolving these Pokémons during the Pokémon Go December event will have them learned exclusive moves!

FAQs about Pokémon Go Community Day
How Does December Community Day Work in Pokémon Go?
December Community Day brings back all featured Pokémon from this year with boosted spawns, event bonuses, and access to exclusive moves when evolving during event hours, letting players catch up easily.
How Many Evolutions Does Florges Have?
Florges follows a two-stage evolution line: Flabébé evolves into Floette with Candy, and Floette later evolves into Florges. The evolution path stays the same regardless of flower color.
How Does Pawmot Evolve?
Pawmo evolves into Pawmot after you walk 25 km with it as your buddy and then spend 100 Candy. This unique evolution method encourages outdoor exploration and active gameplay.
When Should I Evolve Machoke into Machamp?
Evolve Machoke during Community Day hours to unlock Machamp’s exclusive charged attack, Payback. Evolving within the event window ensures you don’t miss this limited-time move.
Do Different Colors of Flabébé Evolve Differently?
All Flabébé colors share the same evolution steps into Floette and then Florges. Flower color is purely cosmetic and does not change stats, moves, or evolution behavior.
What Is the Rarest Color of Flabebe?
White and Orange Flower Flabébé are the rarest variants, appearing far less frequently in the wild. Their limited regional availability also makes them highly sought-after by collectors.
Final Thoughts
To wrap it all up, the Pokémon Go Community Day 2025 December event is the perfect chance to catch rare Pokémon, unlock exclusive moves, and complete your yearly collection.
If the three-hour window for each day seems insufficient, which, quite frankly, it is, then use PoGoskill Location Changer to speed up your progress tenfold and catch all the featured Pokémons from this year’s all Community Days.
