Pokémon GO has put December 19 on its official calendar as a Raid Day, the same Saturday a datamine labeled “Clone Special Raid Day.” Scopely’s new save-the-date post lists the event without saying which Pokémon will appear, so the clones remain unconfirmed. The date, though, now matches.
The post maps out the coming Season through February 13, and it fills 11 Saturdays in a row with something to play.
December 19 matches the clone datamine, but Scopely hasn’t mentioned clones
We covered the datamine on November 3: a post from The Pokemod Group read “Clone Special Raid Day, December 19” and gave no other details. The official calendar confirms only that a Raid Day is happening that day. It doesn’t prove the rest, and Raid Days are a regular event type: a second one is already set for February 13.
Clones were last available during Pokémon Day 2020, which ran from February 25 to March 2, 2020. Armored Mewtwo, also tied to the film Mewtwo Strikes Back, returned this year for five-star raids on September 5 and 6.
December Community Day runs two days, December 12 and 13
December’s Community Day is the only event on the list that spans a weekend, on Saturday and Sunday, December 12 and 13. A Community Day Classic follows on January 2, with regular Community Days on January 16 and February 6.

Scopely hasn’t named a featured Pokémon for any of these dates
The post promises “more details about December Community Day and beyond” and warns that upcoming events are subject to change. Scopely also describes these as only “some” of the dates for other in-game events, so more may be added to the Season.
