Well … we called it. Porygon and Charmander swept this weekends Community Day vote in Pokémon GO, with the other competitors Caterpie and Grimer making under ten percent of the overall vote between the two of them. As the clear first-place winner, Porygon will be up first, with its Community Day in September, with the runner-up Charmander getting its day in October, likely leading into Niantics annual Halloween Event in Pokémon GO.

Charmander Community Day II, the first time ever that a Pokémon will get a repeat day in this history of the game, will be Saturday, October 17, 2020. This will provide the Fire/Flying-type Charizard a leg up over Dragon-type Pokémon, as they will be weak to its Fast Attack while Charizard is not, in turn, weak to Dragons.
This vote, as well as the vote that saw Weedle taking first place, sends a significant message from the Pokémon GO fanbase to Niantic: dedicated fitness instructors desire Community Days to feature Pokémon whose Shiny forms have not yet been released. Charmander won since of its sheer popularity and the incoming Megas, but Porygon and Weedle winning their respective votes is something that Niantic should think about when completing the candidates for the next Community Day.
