The next community day in Pokemon GO features the adorable Normal/Flying Woodpecker Pokemon, Pikipek. On Sunday, November 30, from 2 pm local time to 5 pm local time, you can find increased spawns for Pikipek and partake in some research tasks to earn some rewards.

This Pikipek Pokemon GO Community Day guide will cover everything you need to know about the very limited-time event.

If you need help finding more Pikipeks in the wild, try using a regular Lure Module on a PokeStop. Not only will Pikipek have a high chance of showing up, but the chances of it being shiny are also increased. Pikipek will continue to show up until 9 pm local time, so you still have a chance to catch more even after the three-hour event ends.
