Niantic has announced the first-ever Community Day in Pokemon Go. The day is designed to bring players together in local parks to "make new friends and experience what it means to be part of this special community". Community Days are planned to take place every month and each will feature a special Pokemon that will be present frequently all over the world for a select number of hours.
The first Community Day will take place on January 20th and it will star Pikachu. Players are encouraged to "explore your local parks with family and friends to catch Pikachu that know the exclusive event move Surf". You'll also earn double XP for the effort.
We’re constantly blown away by the passion of Pokémon GO players around the world, and we hope that each Pokémon GO Community Day will help add to the excitement of local events and meetups. Remember always to be alert and stay safe while playing and to be respectful of public spaces when exploring your community. Stay tuned to our social media channels and check out the Pokémon GO Community Day event page each month to learn about that month’s featured Pokémon, special bonuses, and event times.
