The Silph League connects Pokemon GO communities worldwide into a global player network. This past weekend an astounding number of travelers around the world volunteered time and energy as staff to help other travelers receive the Shiny Dratini Silph League Badge at their local meetups for February Community Day:

Take a look at the League network’s participation and growth this past weekend, travelers!

League Stats for the February Community Day League Event

A Peek Into League Meetups Around the World

Community leaders held meetups around the world on Community Day – and we wanted to share a few of our favorite pictures they shared within the League! The physical swag, snacks, and creative goodies were impressive. And the variety of weather conditions make this photo roundup a powerful reminder of the global reach of the League.

We can’t wait til next Community Day. We’ll have some exciting new announcements for the League by then… But in the meantime, enjoy the photo roundup!
