The Pokemon GO Community Day is a massive event in the games monthly calendar, but the very next community day is going to be the biggest one to date. That's right, even bigger than the Eevee event which spanned two days.

As usual, a flurry of rewards and exclusive pokemon are going to swarm that game, giving trainers a whole host of reasons to get out at play the game on iPhone and Android smartphones.

Although Niantic frames the event as the perfect way for trainers to come together and meet up to play the game, it also provides (perhaps more importantly) the chance for trainers to catch some rather unique and extra special Pokemon.

In the case of this upcoming Community Event, players can Celebrate a years worth of Community Days in December, meaning there will be once again be a wealth of Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu, Eevee, Dratini, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Mareep, Larvitar, and Beldum spawning.

But better still, rather than taking place for a measly three hours, this community day will last the whole weekend!

For UK based players, the December Community Day event is scheduled to begin TODAY, Friday, November 30, at 9pm GMT, lasting until 7am Monday morning.

This isn't all though because there will still be a special three-hour event on Saturday in the UK and during this time Pokemon Go players will earn double catch XP and double catch Stardust.

In addition, those incubators will also be twice as effective during the bonus period.

So that means the big 10km egg distances will only require 5km walking distance to hatch – and it's even less if you're using a super incubator!

Last but by no means least all of the featured moves from each previous Community Day will also be available, so your evolved Pokémon can get them

This means even if you don't necessarily want to play in a group, there are still great reasons to ensure you're playing Pokemon Go regardless.
