Pokémon Go Community Day to Take Place January 16

Pokémon Go is set to have its first Community Day of the year on Saturday, January 16, with Niantic giving players the chance to collect all sorts of goodies throughout the six-hour event.

Players can look forward to taking part in the Community Day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time.

The event will see Machop appearing far more frequently, giving players the opportunity to stock up on Machop Candy. This can then be used to evolve Shiny Machop and learn a Community Day exclusive move Payback by evolving Machop into its final form of Machamp.

Players can also get access to a new Community Day bundle, a special collection of in-game items that can be bought from the Pokémon Go store. The bundle includes 1 Elite Charged TM, 4 incense, 4 Star Pieces, and 30 Ultra Balls. It will cost 1,280 Pokécoins.

There will also be a new Special Research story available during the Community Day and extra bonuses to Stardust and Incense., while trading distances are being increased to a maximum of 40 km.
