TheOctober calendar of events inPokemon GOis live now and it’s going to be a very busy couple of weeks leading up to this year’s big Halloween festivities in the mobile AR game. The early October action continues this weekend as the next Community Day afternoon approaches and players get ready to head out in search of Duskull.
Duskull Community Day will kick off on Saturday, October 9 and is going to offer players the chance to rack up a boatload ofextra Stardust while tracking down Shiny spawnsand unlocking exclusive moves. As always, there are a ton of features and bonuses forPokemon GOtrainers to keep track of during the short event if they want to get the most value out of it.

Duskull is a pretty popular Pokemon for a non-starter and it makes sense for it to receive the spotlight during the spooky season. Typically the Duskull evolution isn’t all that relevant tothePokemon GOPvE metagame, but there’s always the chance that the exclusive move could help make it a little more popular on the PvP side.
Community Day will run on Saturday, June 06, 2025
Start and End Times
11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time on each day
Starting in February 2019, Community Day events now always take place on local time, no matter where you are playing. That changes a bit over the winter months as the time is split between hemispheres rather than time zones. It looks like we’re back to one time at this point though.
Special Move
Evolve Dusclops (Duskull’s Evolution) during the event or up to two hours afterward to get a Dusknoir that knows the Charged Attack Shadow Ball.
Make sure to evolve during the active time window (within two hours of the event ending) if you want to secure the exclusive move.
Bonuses
Limited Time Field Research
Recent updates to the game’s code suggest that this Community Day, like last month’s, will temporarily offer special Field Research tasks that put an emphasis on the featured Pokemon. Be sure to claim your rewards and clear out a space for these quests if you want to see them.
Shiny Variant
Niantic usually doesn’t confirm the shiny chance until after the event has started, but keep an eye out for shiny Duskull while hunting. They’ve been a part of every other Community Day event, so we fully expect to see them this month, as well.
That’s everything we know at this point! Duskull’s big day is just around the corner, so be sure to take care of any preparations to inventory and storage space now. Be sure to check back in the near future throughout the rest ofthe Season of Mischieffor morePokemon GOstrategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
