The first Community Day of 2020 will arrive in Pokémon GO on January 19. The event will last three hours and will start at 11 a.m. local time and end at 14 p.m. local time. At this time, Niantic has yet to disclose any information on what the event's featured Pokémon will be. As soon as they do, we'll update this guide with the relevant information.
Community Days are all about getting out into the world and playing with your friends, and they focus on the chance to catch special Pokémon from the wild. In addition to special Pokémon, there are also standard rewards that players can enjoy during the event.
- 2x catch Stardust
- 2x catch XP
- 1/2 egg hatch distance
This will be a great time to work on research tasks involving hatching eggs, especially the task of hatching seven eggs in the game. Completing this research task will earn you an encounter with Alolan Goupix.
There is plenty to do in Pokémon GO while we wait for the announcement of the Pokémon Special Community Day. Special recovery research tasks are also available. These special research tasks involve the GO Rocket team, and doing so will allow you to fight against the GO Rocket team leader, Giovanni.
The first research breakthrough of the year is also active, involving a Lokhlass with Ice Shard and Ice Beam. Lokhlass Research Breakthrough runs from January 1 at 13:00 p.m. to February 1 at 13:00 p.m. PST.
The Hatchathon Adventure Sync is also ongoing in-game and will run through January 16 at 13:00 p.m. PST. You receive additional rewards for hatching eggs, so now is a great time to work on those seven eggs for your field research. You will receive the following bonuses during Hatchathon 2020:
- Twice as much Hatch Candy
- Twice as much Hard Stardust
- After traveling 50 km, you will receive 50000 Stardust, 15 Rare Candies and an Unova Stone
It's a hectic Pokémon GO time right now, so take a walk.
