Pokémon GO: Vote for August Community Day!

Juni 6, 2025
Official Pokémon GO August 2025 Community Day vote promo featuring Frillish, Wimpod, Rookidee, and Lechonk

After teasing fans with the new Delightful Days season, Pokémon GO is bringing back a beloved feature: Community Day voting! For the August 2025 edition, players will once again have the power to decide which Pokémon will take the spotlight.

🌞 A Season Full of Surprises

With the launch of the Delightful Days summer season, Niantic has rolled out several exciting updates, including the highly anticipated debuts of Hisuian Lilligant and Yamper. The promotional trailer also showcased favorites like Quaxly and Eevee—the latter of which is confirmed to headline a Community Day Classic on July 5, 2025.

But the real twist came with the announcement that players will soon vote on the August Community Day Pokémon, marking the return of an interactive feature fans have been hoping to see again.

🗳️ Community Day Voting Details

Players will be able to cast their votes starting:

  • 📅 Date: June 7, 2025

  • 🕕 Time: 6:00 PM PDT

  • 🕒 Duration: 24 hours only

  • 📍 Platform: Official Pokémon GO YouTube Channel

Voting will take place via a poll and the winner will be announced shortly after it closes. The winning Pokémon will be featured on August 30, 2025, during the official Community Day event.

🐾 The Four Candidates

Here are the Pokémon in the running—and what they’ll bring to the table:

  1. Frillish → Jellicent

    • Featured Move: Poltergeist (Ghost-type Charged Attack)

    • A spooky fan-favorite from Unova with strong PvP potential.

  2. Wimpod → Golisopod

    • Featured Move: Liquidation (Water-type Charged Attack)

    • A bug/water-type powerhouse with an intimidating final form.

  3. Rookidee → Corviknight

    • Featured Move: Fly (Flying-type Charged Attack)

    • A popular Galar-region Pokémon with both defensive and offensive viability.

  4. Lechonk → Oinkologne

    • Featured Move: Disarming Voice (Fairy-type Charged Attack)

    • A meme favorite from Paldea that could charm both new and longtime trainers.

🧠 Strategy and Impact

Each Pokémon offers different strengths for PvE battles, PvP leagues, and collector appeal. Jellicent is already known as a PvP staple, while Corviknight could gain new relevance with Fly. Meanwhile, Lechonk’s popularity might influence casual players, even if it’s not the strongest in combat.

This voting format gives the community real input, encouraging strategic discussion and collaboration across social media, Discord groups, and forums.

🎉 What Happens Next?

After voting concludes on June 8, Niantic will announce the winning Pokémon shortly after. Additional event details—such as spawn boosts, shiny rates, and bonuses like XP or Stardust multipliers—will be revealed closer to the August event.

So far, we know:

  • Event Date: August 30, 2025

  • Winner Reveal: Shortly after June 8

  • More Bonuses: TBD on Pokémon GO’s official blog and Twitter/X
