Pokémon Go has shared what the January Community Day will involve as the Grass Cat Pokémon, Sprigatito, takes center stage for a limited-time. This Community Day will see the developers try something new, which they will then re-evaluate going into the season following Dual Destiny and beyond.
The first Community Day of 2025 commences on January 5, from 2pm to 5pm local time. There are free and paid Timed Research opportunities, plenty of encounters with Sprigatito, and so much more.
