Legacy Moves

Community Day is the day when Pokémon get legacy moves that can't be obtained through regular TMs. To obtain these legacy moves, trainers need to evolve Pokémon during the Comday period.

Apart from Comday, these legacy moves can actually be obtained using an extremely rare item called Elite TM. To get an Elite TM, trainers need to reach rank 19 or higher in the Go Battle League each season.

Evolve the following Pokémon to obtain Comday legacy moves starting from Saturday, December 16, 2023, at 09:00 until Sunday, December 17, 2023, at 21:00.
