Photobomb During the event you can snap an AR Photo and get photobombed by Chespin.


Kecleon Appearing After Community Day

It appears that Kecleon will make its debut after Chespin Community Day. Invisible Kecleon will appear rarely at PokeStops and prevent Trainers from spinning it. After the Trainer taps on the Kecleon, it will jump off the disc. The Kecleon will appear on the map and can be encountered and caught.

Additional Information:

  • The invisible Kecleon on the photodisc can be seen at a distance. It doesn’t have to be in spin range.
  • Kecleon is available at the same stops for all Trainers.
  • The PokéStops that have Kecleon are believed to change every two hours.
  • During that 2 hour window, Kecleon can reappear at the same stop when the spin cooldown is up. This is useful if you didn’t catch it during a previous interaction.
  • A PokéStop that has a Grunt can have Kecleon on it but you need to defeat the Grunt first.

Some of this information is subject to change so it may be inaccurate.

The following Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild.

Raids

Bonus Raid Battles after Community Day

Saturday, January, 7, 2023, from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time

After the three-hour Community Day event ends, Trainers will be able to take on special four-star Raid Battles. Claiming victory in one of these raids will cause more Chespin to appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes!


Four-star Raid Battles

Quilladin will appear in four-star raids!

You can only join these raids using Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes. Remote Raid Passes cannot be used to join these raids.

  • Quilladin

Bonus for completing Four-star Raid Battles

Once you successfully complete a four-star Raid Battle against Quilladin, Chespin will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!*

* Chespin that appear under these circumstances will have the same chance of appearing as a Shiny Pokémon as those that appear during October’ Community Day’s three-hour event period.
