Major Event Types in Pokémon GO
Community Day & Spotlight Hour
Community Day is a monthly event with boosted spawns for one Pokémon, an exclusive move, and stacked bonuses. Spotlight Hour is a one-hour weekly window — usually Tuesday evening — featuring a Pokémon plus a rotating bonus like double Stardust or double transfer XP. Filter by Community in the calendar to see both.
Raids, Raid Hour & Mega Raids
Weekly raid rotations cover 5-star legendaries, Mega Raids, Shadow Raids, and the one-hour Raid Hour bonus window. These appear under the Raids filter. For gym boss details and rotation rules, see the PoKeep raid schedule.
Research, GBL & Seasonal Events
Timed research, GO Battle League cup rotations, GO Fest, and season-long story events stack on top of the weekly calendar. Use the Research, GBL, and Season filters to focus on the events that match your current goal — whether that is PvP rank, Special Research completion, or ticketed bonuses.
How to Plan Around the Event Calendar
- Check live events first. If something you need is ending today, prioritize it before farming routine tasks.
- Stack bonuses. Star Pieces, Lucky Eggs, and Incense work best during Spotlight Hour and Community Day windows.
- Save passes for Raid Hour. When the Raids filter shows an upcoming Raid Hour, plan Remote Raid Passes around that one-hour window.
- Bookmark this page. The calendar refreshes automatically — no need to hunt through social posts for start times.
Tips:
Pair the events calendar with the promo codes page before major events — free items stack nicely with Community Day and seasonal bonuses.
