Pokemon Go Pikipek Community Day 2025 Shiny Seasonal
Pikipek Community Day arrives on November 30 with boosted Shiny odds, 3× Catch XP, and a surprisingly meaningful twist: this is the final opportunity to catch a Community Day Pokémon with the Seasonal Special Background. For Shiny hunters, XP grinders, and collectors alike, it's shaping up to be one of the most rewarding and historically significant Community Days of the year.
Below is your complete, optimized guide covering all event bonuses, shiny odds, Beak Blast details, preparation tips, and how to maximize rewards from this limited-time event.
Pikipek Community Day: Your Last Shot at Seasonal Backgrounds
Event at a Glance
Date: Sunday, November 30, 2025
Time: 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM (local time)
Spotlight: Pikipek (Shiny available, final Seasonal Background!)
Exclusive Move: Toucannon with Beak Blast (110 PvP / 125 PvE)
Key Bonuses: 3× Catch XP, 2× Candy, 3-hour Incense, Extended Lures until 9 PM
November's Community Day feels tailor-made for collectors. Beyond the usual Shiny hunt and XP grind, the event marks the final time a Community Day Pokémon will feature the Seasonal Special Background—a visual detail that disappears once the new Season begins. Any Pikipek you catch this weekend becomes a lasting reminder of the current era, adding real long-term value for collectors.
From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., Pikipek will spawn at extremely high rates, giving both casual and dedicated players plenty of encounters. Evolving Trumbeak into Toucannon during the event window (or up to 5:00 p.m.) grants the exclusive Charged Attack Beak Blast, offering 110 power in PvP and 125 in PvE, and giving the Toucannon line a notable performance bump.
Why This Community Day Stands Out: Four Key Innovations
This Community Day quietly refreshes the usual formula in several clever ways.
Extended Lures remain active until 9 p.m., creating a relaxed post-event hunting phase for players who arrive late or want extra time for Shiny checks.
The removal of Seasonal Backgrounds adds real collector urgency—what was once a small visual flourish now becomes a limited-time marker for the entire Pikipek family.
The XP efficiency is exceptional: Pikipek's quick catch animation combined with 3× Catch XP makes this one of the strongest leveling opportunities in recent months.
The paid Special Research is short and reward-focused, offering guaranteed special-background Pikipek and valuable items without unnecessary padding.
