Once a month, Pokémon GO will host a Community Day event with 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.

The first Pokémon GO Community Day will take place on January 20, 2018, and it features Pikachu. Players will also earn double XP during event hours.
