Summary
Pokemon GOhas confirmed Rookidee as the featured Pokemon for its upcoming August 2025 Community Day. The event is part ofPokemon GO’s packed schedule of celebrations for the current Delightful Days season.
AlthoughPokemon GObegan adding Galar Pokemon in 2020, Rookidee wasn’t added to the AR game until January 2025. The Gen 8 pocket monster is particularly popular amongPokemonfans as its final evolution, Corviknight, has a Gigantamax form in the mainline series. In late May, near the end of the Might and Mastery season,Pokemon GOadded Dynamax Rookideefor Max Monday, challenging players to obtain the Flying-type. Now, the game is planning another major event featuring the fan-favorite bird Pokemon.
Pokemon GOhas announced that Rookidee will star in the August 2025 Community Day, which is scheduled for Saturday, August 30 at 2:00 PM local time. The event will allow players to evolve their Rookidee into a Corviknight that knows the Charged Attack Air Cutter. The reveal comes afterPokemon GOlet players vote for their preferred Pokemonfor the Community Day event through an official poll on June 7. Fans had 24 hours to cast their vote, and Rookidee came out on top with a crushing 77% of votes, winning over Frillish, Wimpod, and Lechonk.
Pokemon GO Reveals Rookidee for August 2025 Community Day
Before the poll started,Pokemon GOhad announced Sky Attack as the featured Charged Attack for Rookidee’s Community Day, but players pointed out that the combat move was already available for Corviknight. For this reason, the developers changed the featured attack to Air Cutter instead. Now that Rookidee’s August Community Day has been confirmed, fans are wondering whether its shiny version could make its debut. Moreover, gathering Rookidee Candy could come in handy for players to level up theirMax Moves inPokemon GO. Some players had also voted for Rookidee in the hopes thatPokemon GOcould add Gigantamax Corviknight soon, but the game hasn’t hinted at its release. The developers have assured fans that more information about Rookidee’s Community Day will be given in the upcoming weeks.
Pokemon GO’s Delightful Days season has four Community Day events planned for the next few months. The first will beJangmo-o’s first-ever Community Dayon June 21. The game has also unveiled a two-day Eevee Community Day Classic for July with multiple evolution bonuses. With the announcement of Rookidee’s event, the July edition is the only one left to reveal its protagonist.
