Pokémon GO’s “Bicannon” Phenomenon
A Highly Anticipated Event for Trainers Worldwide
Nearly a decade after its debut, Pokémon GO is still engaging millions of players across the globe. Each month, the augmented reality game hosts a Community Day, an event where one featured Pokémon appears more frequently. This special day offers the perfect opportunity to catch shiny forms, collect bonus candies for evolution, and unlock exclusive moves.
On November 30, the spotlight shines on Pikipek, the Normal/Flying-type Pokémon from the seventh generation, originally from the Alolan region. Pikipek, also known as the woodpecker Pokémon, evolves into Trumbeak and then reaches its final form: Toucannon.
A Shiny Style That Resonates with the LGBTQ+ Community
This November’s Community Day offers more than just a gameplay bonus—it’s also resonating strongly with the LGBTQ+ community, especially among bisexual fans. The reason? The shiny version of Toucannon bears strikingly similar colors to the bisexual pride flag.
While the standard Toucannon features bold, tropical shades—reds, oranges, and yellows—its shiny form presents a completely different palette: pink, purple, and blue. These vibrant hues mirror the bisexual flag, making this shiny creature not just rare, but powerfully symbolic. For those proud to reflect their identity both in-game and in real life, these meaningful colors can also be found across various LGBTQ+ flags and accessories.
“Bicannon”: A Celebrated Nickname Among Fans
As soon as the shiny Toucannon was revealed, the resemblance to the bisexual flag didn’t go unnoticed. LGBTQ+ gamers quickly began sharing their excitement on social media, eager to add this colorful evolution to their collections.
This visual connection sparked the affectionate nickname “Bicannon”, as well as “bicon”—a clever play on “bi” (for bisexual) and “icon.” These fan-coined terms have become more than just fun wordplay—they’ve evolved into community-driven symbols of pride and representation.
An Unmissable Opportunity
Between the chance to catch a sparkling variant, unlock a unique move, and celebrate personal identity through gameplay, this Community Day is destined to be one of the most memorable events of the year. Trainers are encouraged to stock up on Poké Balls and mark their calendars for November 30—a colorful celebration that blends excitement, rarity, and inclusivity.
