Here are the full details for Wooper Community Day, the newly announced November feature in Pokémon GO:

Date and time: Sunday, November 5, 2023, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time
Featured Pokémon: Wooper will be featured, with both the standard version and the Paldean version appearing frequently in the wild with a boosted Shiny rate. This is the debut of Paldean Wooper, who will see its Shiny released along with its standard release. Paldean Wooper evolves into Coldsire rather than Quagsire, so this will also unlock this brand-new Paldean Dex entry.

- Evolving Wooper to Quagsire will unlock the special Water-type Charged Attack of Aqua Tail:
  - Trainer Battles: 50 power
  - Gym and raids: 50 power
- Evolving Paldean Wooper to Clodsire will unlock the special Bug-type Charged Attack of Mega Horn:
  - Trainer Battles: 110 power
  - Gym and raids: 110 power

Bonus Tier Four Raids featuring both Wooper and Paldean Wooper: Niantic writes:
- "After the three-hour Community Day event ends, Trainers will be able to take on four-star Raid Battles. Claiming victory in one of these raids will cause more Wooper and Paldean Wooper to appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes! Once you successfully complete a four-star Raid Battle against Wooper or Paldean Wooper, additional Wooper and Paldean Wooper will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. If you're lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!* *Wooper and Paldean Wooper that appear under these circumstances will have the same chance of appearing as a Shiny Pokémon as those that appear during November Community Day's three-hour event period.
