None of the Pokémon previously featured on Pokémon GO’s Community Days can hold a candle to October’s featured Pokémon. On October 15, 2022, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. local time, the Ghost- and Fire-type Litwick will appear more frequently in the wild. Lucky Trainers may even encounter a Shiny one! Evolve Lampent, Litwick’s Evolution, into Chandelure during the event or up to five hours afterward to get a Chandelure that knows the Charged Attack Poltergeist. This delightfully spooky Ghost-type attack is making its Pokémon GO debut, so don’t let this opportunity burn out.

Additionally, Trainers can purchase tickets for friends that they’ve reached a friendship level of Great Friends or higher with. To give the gift of luminescent research, simply tap the Gift button when purchasing a ticket. Certain restrictions apply.
Bonus Raids
You can extend the Community Day fun by challenging Lampent in four-star Raid Battles from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time. After successfully defeating Lampent in a Raid Battle, Litwick will appear in a 300-meter radius around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. Lucky Trainers might even encounter a Shiny one! These four-star raids can only be accessed via Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes—they cannot be joined via a Remote Raid Pass.
Get fired up for Pokémon GO Community Day, Trainers!
