The Pokémon GO team have revealed a new monthly event, dedicated to Pokémon trainers around the globe.
This special day will attempt to bring trainers together from around the world, offering exclusive Pokémon available to catch. Here is the official press release straight from the team:
“Pokémon GO Community Day is an opportunity for Trainers around the world to meet up at their local parks to make new friends and experience what it means to be a part of this special community.
Once a month, we’ll host a Pokémon GO Community Day event starring a special Pokémon, which will appear frequently around the world for just a few hours. When caught during the event, this special Pokémon will know an exclusive move. Other bonuses will be in effect during the event, such as increased XP or Stardust, and Lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours.
Celebrate the first Pokémon GO Community Day on January 20, 2018
Mark your calendars, Trainers. The first Pokémon GO Community Day will take place on January 20, 2018, and it features Pikachu! Explore your local parks with family and friends to catch Pikachu that know the exclusive event move Surf.
