NIANTICPokemon Go has unveiled its July Community Day Classic event, which centers around Kanto’s loveliest creature, Eevee. Here are all the details, including bonuses, paid tickets, and more.
While the Community Day event takes place every month, the Classic edition happens less often as it centers around Pokemon that were previously showcased in the main event.
This time around, the Community Day Classic will put Eevee – the Evolution Pokemon – in the spotlight.
This Normal-type creature became popular when Gen 1 launched due to its cuteness, but mainly its three evolutions, which then turned into eight (known as Eeveelutions), with Umbreon being the best of them all.
Community Day Classic: Date & time
Unlike previous events, the Pokemon Go July 2025 Community Day Classic: Eevee event will last for two days. It will begin at 2:00 PM on Saturday, July 5, 2025, and will run for three hours, ending at 5:00 PM local time. Then, it will return on Sunday, July 6, 2025, during the same timeframe.
Short and sweet, Pokemon Go players must log in between these times to make the most of what’s on offer, including a chance to find Shiny Eevee.
