The upcoming Pokemon GO Community Day Classic, scheduled to be held later this week, was recently teased by the official X (previously Twitter) channel. While Niantic has yet to drop the official announcement detailing the upcoming content in Season 12 Adventures Abound, they have been dropping hints. Apart from the feature Pokemon for the forthcoming Community Day Classic event, they have also shared silhouettes of Paldea Starters' evolved forms.

While similar to the normal Community Day, Community Day Classic events showcase rare pocket monsters that have previously been featured. These 'mons will appear more frequently during the stipulated hours in the wild. Apart from that, players get to enjoy various bonuses, featured attacks, and more.

The game's official X channel showed a short clip of arid terrain, with flames bellowing out from the right to the left, and finally, the Community Day Classic logo showing up. One can hear a Pokemon's cry toward the end of the clip. Based on that and the visual cues, the community was quick to conclude that Charmander, the Lizard Pokemon, will likely be featured in the upcoming event.
