Southern Hemisphere Pokemon GO Players Community Day Time Changed for January 2020

On December 18, 2019, Niantic officially announced that Community Day times would change based on which hemisphere you're in. 

Players who are living in the southern hemisphere of the world will now see their Community Days happen from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM local time.

This effects players in the continents of Australia and South America, as well as parts of Africa, Asia, and a lot of Oceania. 

See below for the full announcement. 

Trainers,

Thank you for sharing your feedback when it comes to Pokémon GO Community Day hours and how it impacts different regions. The safety and wellbeing of our Trainers is of the upmost importance, so moving forward we plan on testing Community Day hours that are based on the hemisphere that you reside in.

For January Community Day, the event times are as follows:

• Northern Hemisphere—Sunday, January 19, 2020, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in your local time zone
• Southern Hemisphere—Sunday, January 19, 2020, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in your local time zone

Please note that countries located on the equator line will be impacted by the split by hemisphere. We ask Trainers plan accordingly if they are impacted due to their location.

We look forward to your continued feedback and support of Community Day as we continue to experiment with times that work for all Trainers to participate in the fun. Thank you and see you in 2020!
