Niantic is bringing yet another Community Day for October to Pokemon GO. The October Community Day features Duskull, the Ghost-type Requiem Pokémon. It’s a great chance for trainers to catch a Shiny Duskull as the chances are high on a Community Day. They can also evolve it to learn the event-exclusive move and take advantage of in-game bonuses. So for you to get things ready, here is everything you need to know.
Date + Time
Saturday, October 9, 2021, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM [local time].
It is a six-hour time frame. But, you can still get an exclusive move with evolution, up to two hours afterward, that is 7:00 PM [local time].
Featured Pokémon
The Ghost-type Pokémon Duskull is the featured Pokémon of October Community Day 2021. Duskull will appear more frequently in the wild during the event. If you’re lucky, you may get a chance to encounter a Shiny Duskull ✨. It’s an excellent opportunity for trainers to catch better and/or Shiny Duskull.
Exclusive Move
If you evolve Dusclops (Duskull’s Evolution) into Dusknoir in the event time or up to two hours afterward, the Pokémon evolves knowing the Ultimate Charged Ghost-type Exclusive Move – Shadow Ball.

Pokémon GO Duskull Community Day Special Research
On this month’s Community Day, Niantic offers an event-exclusive special research story called “Nothin’ Dull About Duskull”. Access to this special research story will be available in the in-game shop for US$1.
Other Bonuses
In addition to Duskull’s frequent encounters, Niantic will be bringing few bonuses too.
- A giveaway of 30 Ultra Balls in the shop for free. Be sure to take it.
- Trainers get three times the Catch Stadust than usual (3x Catch Stardust) during the event period.
- The Incense used during the event will remain active for three hours rather than the usual one hour.
