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.
Pokemon fan games allow creative game makers to design custom adventures, often featuring fakemon, new regions, new storylines, and new game modes.
This guide will update if changes are made to the event’s research tasks, rewards, or other aspects.
Pokemon GO Pikipek Community Day – All Field Research Tasks and Rewards
There are a couple of free research tasks during the Pikipek Community Day, which you can find below. You’ll have a chance to encounter Pikipek for extra Candy and earn some other goodies:
|

Possible Rewards |
|---|---|

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.

Can Pikipek Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes! Pikipek and its evolutions (Trumbeak and Toucannon) have shiny versions available in Pokemon GO.
You can evolve Pikipek into Trumbeak by feeding it 25 Candy. You can then get Toucannon by feeding Trumbeak 100 Candy. If you manage to evolve Trumbeak during the event (or up to four hours afterward), the Toucannon will know the Beak Blast charged attack.
