A Pokémon Go Community vote is returning for 2026, with players deciding who they want to see in August's Community Day between four possibilities.
The Pokémon in question are Yamper, Nickit, Tadbulb and Fidough, with the winner appearing in the Saturday, 16th August Community Day slot.
Players have just 24 hours to vote starting this coming Saturday, 30th May (or the early hours of Sunday for those in Europe), with the poll taking place on the official Pokémon Go YouTube channel. The winner will then be "announced shortly after voting ends", according to Niantic comms.
