Pokemon GO details January 2022 Community Day

We’ve got first details about the January 2022 Community Day for Pokemon GO, which puts the focus on Spheal. The event is planned for January 16 between 11 AM and 5 PM local time.

Spheal will be appearing more frequently in the wild while the Community Day is taking place. If you’re lucky enough, you could encounter a Shiny version. You can evolve Sealeo (Spheal’s Evolution) during the event or up to two hours afterward to receive a Walrein that knows the Charged Attack Icicle Spear and Fast Attack Powder Snow. Icicle Spear, appearing in Pokemon GO for the first time, is a low-energy Charged Attack that has 60 damage in both Trainer battles as well as Gyms and raids.

As another aspect involving Spheal, for $1 players can access the Spheal Community Day-exclusive Special Research story, The Spheal Deal. Niantic will provide information about tickets at a later date.

As far as bonuses go, expect to see 3x Catch XP, incense activated during the event will last for three hours, and lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours. Niantic has also teased that there’ll be a surprise for those that take a few snapshots during Community Day.
