Niantic has officially revealed that the Pokemon featured in the upcoming Pokemon GO Community Day is Bounsweet, a Grass-type creature that first appeared in Pokemon Sun and Moon. Pokemon GO’s May 2024 Community Day will be happening on May 19 between 2 pm and 5 pm local time.

Pokemon GO has announced a new edition of Sustainability Week. The upcoming Pokemon GO event will kick off on Monday, April 22.
The annual happening is Niantic's way of commemorating Earth Day in its hit mobile game. The practice started with Pokemon GO Sustainability Week 2021.
The San Francisco-based developer has now officially announced the fourth edition of the event. As is tradition, Sustainability Week 2024 will start on Earth Day and run for five days straight. Its exact start and end times are from April 22 at 10am to April 26 at 8pm, both local times. During this period, buddy mons in Pokemon GO will bring presents and souvenirs with increased frequency, on top of staying on the overworld map for longer after being fed Poffins or Berries. The event will also facilitate the process of developing relationships with one's buddies by virtue of halving the distance required for earning buddy hearts.
Sustainability Week 2024 will also temporarily rotate the contents of some Pokemon GO eggs. Specifically, 2km eggs obtained during the upcoming five-day period will have a chance to hatch Combee, Drilbur, Trubbish, Foongus, and Binacle. Foongus will additionally be encounterable in the wild for the duration of the event, while encounters with the other four mons will also be available as rewards for completing limited-time Field Research tasks. All five of these event creatures will have a chance to be shiny.
The late April promo will also feature a number of themed Collection Challenges, which will reward Stardust and XP. Although Niantic did not elaborate on the matter, its track record indicates that these tasks will be centered on catching certain mons relevant to Earth Day. Only the 2022 edition of Sustainability Week featured this sort of content, having challenged players to catch Cherubi, Grimer, Weepinbell, Gloom, Trubbish, and Grotle. However, that task was encompassed in a single quest, whereas the wording Niantic used in its Sustainability Week 2024 announcement suggests the upcoming event will feature multiple Collection Challenges.
The event will also comprise some limited-time PokeStop Showcases in Pokemon GO. These will allow trainers to enter event-themed Pokemon, which are yet to be listed by Niantic but most likely include the aforementioned mon quintet that will be featured in 2km eggs and Field Research tasks. The start of Sustainability Week 2024 will coincide with the release of the «Rediscover Your World» update, which will revamp the game's encounter screen, map, and background.
After a test run via an April Fools' joke on Google Maps, Pokemon GO was released to the public in the summer of 2016. The AR mobile app saw unparalleled success and continues to be one of the largest
