1. LGPE LAUNCHES
Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! have finally launched! Despite this busy time of year, we're working on updating our LGPE database as quickly as we're able.
2. COMMUNITY DAY
December's Community Day is next weekend, and it's the biggest Community Day to date! From November 30 at 4:00 PM EST to December 3 at 2:00 AM EST, the 11 Pokémon will be spawning in increased rates and be able to get their exclusive moves when evolved.
But there is more of a "day" event in this Community Day. During the usual Community Day / Raid day window of time on December 1, there will be double catch Stardust, 50% Egg-hatching distance, double catch XP, and three-hour Lures.

3. POKEMON GO EVENTS
Two events are currently ongoing in Pokémon GO, both of which end on Tuesday, November 27, at 1:00 PM PST. The first is the Hatchathon, which adds Pokémon that have new Evolutions in Generation 4 to 2KM Eggs for the duration of the event. Some of those Evolutions have been released, and all of them require 100 Candy and a Sinnoh Stone to occur. The Sinnoh Stone is obtained through Research Breakthroughs.
The second event is the Pokémon: Let's Go celebration event. This event brings Special Research to give GO players without access to a Switch (or a friend with one) access to a Meltan. It also brings increased Kanto spawns. Between the two events, we've had the Shiny Magnemite and Elekid families made available, in addition to Shiny Alolan Raichu.
