Jan  community day Spheal

Highlighted Pokémon: Spheal

Dates: Sunday, January 16th

Time: 11am to 5pm local time

  • Bonus 1: 3x Catch XP
  • Bonus 2: Incense activated during the event will last three hours
  • Bonus 3: Lure Modules activated during the event will last three hours
  • Exclusive moves for evolution Walrein: Powder Snow (Fast), Icicle Spear (Charged)

There are also specific bonuses for each Community Day, from reduced hatching distance to increased Stardust and XP. Even without the bonuses, remember Community Day is an opportunity to catch a lot of creatures in a short space of time, useful if you want to get through the backlog of Eggs in your roster, or put on a Lucky Egg or Star Piece to increase your gains from catches.

Remember, if there is a deduced hatch rate, you only get bonus on Eggs you put into incubators during Community Day bonus hours. If you have an egg in an incubator before the event starts, it's hatch distance still stay the same. Also, if you don't hatch it before the event ends, it will stay that reduced distance until it does - so worth cramming one last one in before the event finishes!

Community day, a day/per month, 6 hours and Dec 2021

Event Bundles

  • a special one-time-purchase Community Day Box available for 1,280 PokéCoins, featuring 50 Ultra Balls, five Lucky Eggs, five Star Pieces, and an Elite Charged TM.
  • 30 Ultra Balls will be available in the shop at no cost. 


The Shiny rate on Community Days is approximately 1 in 25, according to The Silph Road’s research, so you should find Shiny Pokémon quickly.  (Yes, I catch many shiny pokemons on that day)

The Pokémon Go Community Day is a reoccurring, monthly event highlighting a specific Pokémon that encourages players to get out and play together worldwide.

Each event will see increased spawns of the Pokémon for a limited time, and give them an exclusive Community Day move for their final evolution - and several other bonuses you can take advantage of during the event itself. 

What is Community Day in Pokémon Go?

Community Day takes place on one weekend day every month and lasts a total of six hours.

As well as increasing spawns of the highlighted Pokémon, there are bonuses during that period of time - such as double XP, Stardust or Lure Modules - as additional incentives to get out there and playing, including the highlighted Pokémon having an increased chance of being shiny, and the ability to reach the highlighted Pokémon's evolution an exclusive move.

Spotlight hour 6-7pm Tue weekly, Jan

Jan 2022, Spotlight

The Spotlight Hour in Pokémon Go is a weekly event that will highlight one, special, surprise Pokémon and a special bonus effect.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/pokemon-go-spotlight-hour-featured-pokemon-bonus-7002

Guide by Lottie Lynn, Guides Writer, Updated on 3 December 2021

The Spotlight Hour in Pokémon Go is a weekly event that will highlight one, special, surprise Pokémon and a special bonus effect. Originally this bonus took place during the Mystery Bonus Hour, but this mini-event was merged with Spotlight hour at the beginning of April 2020.

For one hour, the chosen Pokemon will appear more frequently in the wild, allowing you to catch as many as you can. This could help you fill in a missing entry in the Pokédex or find a strong Pokémon for raiding.

Meanwhile the bonus will provide you with important assistance on your Pokémon journey. This could be anything from double transfer candy, allowing you to evolve Pokémon faster, or double catch stardust. Like with the established Community Day event, Spotlight Hour is designed to get players out playing Pokémon Go as part of a community.

If you're planning on taking part in a Spotlight Hour, then there's a couple of ways you can prepare for the event.

  • The first is to ensure that you have enough Poké Balls and berries. You only have an hour to catch as many of the chosen Pokémon as possible - you don't want to waste it spinning PokéStops.
  • The second is to ensure that you have space left in your Pokémon Storage Box. Just like with items, you don't want to waste some of the Spotlight Hour transferring unwanted Pokémon, unless the current bonus is double transfer candy.
  • Thirdly, it's worth checking to see if you have any spare lures. Using a lure will increase the amount of Pokémon you encounter in the wild for half an hour, so, if you use one during the Spotlight Hour, it should also help you encounter more of the mystery Pokémon.
  • Finally, since Mystery Bonus Hour has now been merged with this event it's a good idea, depending on the bonus, to use a spare Lucky Egg or Star Piece during this hour.

This will further increase the XP or Stardust bonus you receive, which is a great advantage if you're trying to climb the level ranks of Pokémon Go quickly, or to build out your team for the Go Battle League.
