Heads-up, U.S. Trainers! Niantic has officially shared the Community Day schedule for fall 2025—and it’s packed with bonuses, raid events, and Wild-area speculation. Here’s what you need to mark on your calendar, plus tips to optimize your gameplay.

🗓️ Community Day Dates You Need to Know

Sunday, September 14, 2025

Sunday, October 12, 2025

Sunday, November 30, 2025

Unlike previous seasons with Classic events, these are all main-format Community Days—no bonus reruns, but plenty of new chances for shiny captures, exclusive moves, and a major raid weekend on three fall Sundays.

🔥 Other Fall Event Highlights

Niantic confirmed additional raid and Max Battle events through November:

Sunday, September 7 – Raid Day

Weekend of September 20–21 – Shadow Raid Weekend

Sunday, September 28 – Raid Day

Saturday, October 4 – Raid Day

Saturday, October 18 – Raid Day

Saturday, November 1 – Max Battle Day

Friday–Monday, November 21–24 – Max Battle Weekend

Saturday–Sunday, November 29–30 – Max Battle Weekend

Keep in mind—one of those November weekends overlaps Community Day on November 30, so bonuses will likely stack.

🎯 Why These Dates Matter to U.S. Trainers

🧠 Efficient Planning

Fewer Community Days this fall means prioritizing attendance early. Plan your packs, Stardust use, and trades to align with key dates.

✨ Event Stacking Power

Enjoy boosted Raid Days, Shadow Raids, and Community Day weekend bonuses—perfect for combining catches and high XP.

🏈 U.S. Holiday Timing

November 21–24 includes Thanksgiving, offering flexible opportunities to play for many—just be mindful of crowded raid groups or travel plans.

🌲 Wild Area Rumors

November’s 21–24 weekend might coincide with a large in-person or themed community event. Some fans anticipate a Wild Area or seasonal max event alignment.

🧾 Trainer To-Do Checklist

1. Mark your calendars now for Sept 14, Oct 12, Nov 30 Community Days.

2. Reserve Poké Balls, Berries, and passes ahead of Community Days.

3. Stack Adventure Sync before these days for maximum rewards.

4. During Max Battle Weekends, look out for special Tier legendaries or existing G-Max Pokémon returning.

5. Follow local Pokémon GO groups or official Niantic channels for precise raid timing and bonuses.

✅ Final Word

Pokémon GO’s fall 2025 season is set to deliver powerful Community Days spaced across three months—each packed with special capture opportunities—and several global raid events to maximize XP and shiny potential.
