Niantic has released the first details about their January 2023 Community Day Classic for Pokémon GO, which has Larvitar as the starring Pokémon. Here you’ll find everything you need to know about the upcoming event, including when it’ll happen, how to participate, and much more.

When is the January 2023 Community Day Classic happening?

This Community Day Classic in Pokémon GO will take place on January 21st, 2023, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. Larvitar will be the featured Pokémon of the event, which means that he’ll appear with a higher frequency as a wild Pokémon to give you plenty more chances to capture as many as you want. As an added bonus, this means that there’s higher chances of finding a Shiny variant!

During the event you’ll also have the chance to join a Special Research story. You’ll have to buy access to it for US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency), but this paid Special Research comes with new tasks and objectives that’ll award you with special rewards. You’re also able to send and receive gift tickets to your “Great Friends” in your friend list.

During the event you’ll get 3x the experience for capturing Pokémon, while Incense and Lure Modules will last for 3 hours each. When you take a picture there’s a small chance of a Larvitar Photobombing.
