Being that last week's edition of Community Day was the "Classic" edition, the "regular" edition was thus still on tap, and now it's on for today, one week post facto. Now, today's edition might be a doozy for those who don't keep up with more recent developments in Pokémon... or rather, gone back into the "distant past" in order to do so. It may be said that one might have to just "grin and bear it" for the purpose of this one. That may already be enough cryptic clues to help figure things out.
If not, then the plain explanation follows. For this month, the featured Pokémon is Teddiursa, a Normal-type Pokémon from the second generation. It is commonly known to evolve into Ursaring, but recently - and thanks to the region of Hisui - Ursaring is also known to evolve to Ursaluna. This last Pokémon gets this edition's exclusive move, which is the Charged Move of High Horsepower, a very strong Ground-type attack. Those who already have the Shiny form of Teddiursa should be pleased; for those who don't, this is the chance to get it.
Evolution to Ursaluna is a bit of a fickle matter. As the Pokémon name contains "luna" (moon), there is the indication that the moon will be somewhat involved, and it is. Here, Ursaring can only evolve to Ursaluna when there is a full moon present in the sky of Pokémon Go. For the purpose of this Community Day, the moon intentionally appears during main event hours from 2 to 5 PM, and then onwards until next morning; Ursaluna becomes a possible evolution in that time. While the future implementation of this may become sketchy, at least it is good to take advantage of the present evolution opportunity.
Of course, bonuses are still around and about. Tripled Stardust and doubled Candy plus greater Candy XL chance were the main things today. Lure Modules and Incense are extended to help with captures as is the norm. An extra Special Trade and discounted trades support those who really interact. Photobomb surprises await those who like to snap pictures, and then there's the extra paid Special Research for those who seek more - this time being titled "A Sweet Snack" for the penchant that this species family has in bringing and finding food from different parts.
As is usual since several months ago, local meetups are (or were) the order of the day. The place was intended to be the same as last month and last week's Classic edition in case of inclement weather, which was true last week and almost came true this week. Even with the looming threat of the weather, a good deal of Trainers came throughout the afternoon - at one time even discovering a "perfect surprise". Whether or not that was discovered, we just went through things as usual: capturing all the Teddiursa that can be spotted, walking to relieve pressure, and just overall having a good time.

(For me, I evolved all the usual necessary instances this time around today, just to cover as many bases as possible for which an Ursaluna might be necessary.)
This is (or was) the November edition, which means next month's (December) edition can be expected to be the "recap" edition, and may or may not merit the way that things have been recently. But as suggested by the title of this month's paid Special Research, things have become quite a sweet one this month - at least in more ways than one, especially with the featured species and getting to know just what can happen to it when the moon and the past are involved. As this year's "sweet last full salvo", it has been a significant one.
