Pokémon Go
has announced an exciting Community Day Classic event for July 2025, highlighting one of Kanto’s most beloved creatures: Eevee. Below, you’ll find all the necessary information, including event timings, featured bonuses, ticketing options, and more.
Unlike the regular Community Day held each month, the Classic edition focuses on Pokémon previously featured in past events, making them a rare treat for dedicated fans.
The upcoming event will shine a spotlight on the popular Normal-type Pokémon, Eevee—the Evolution Pokémon—which captured players’ hearts during Generation 1 not just for its endearing appearance but also for its fascinating evolutionary line. Originally featuring three evolutions, Eevee has since blossomed into eight unique forms, with Umbreon often considered the fan favorite.
