What is the Pokemon Go August 2020 Community Day date and what will be the featured Pokemon? Niantic has announced August 8, 2020 will be August’s Community Day featuring Magikarp. With how the Coronavirus Crisis has changed the game from playing outside to playing at home, instead of a 3-hour Community Day, we now get a 6-hour Incense Community Day (where each Incense lasts 3 hours) featuring the Gen 1 Water-type Pokemon Magikarp!
