Community Days are one of the most anticipated events of the month for fans of Pokemon GO, with each month's special day highlighting a different Pokemon. Alongside increased spawn rates for fan-favorite Pokemon and buffs for XP Boosts and Incense, the monthly Community Day also features increased spawns for the promo Pokemon's shiny variant. The first event of 2022 starred Gen 1's Grass starter Bulbasaur, and now, Niantic has revealed a fellow Grass-type from the Johto region will take the spotlight for the coming month.
Pokemon's Johto region has been a hot topic recently for Pokemon GO, as Niantic announced 2022's Pokemon GO Tour will highlight the region, which was introduced in Pokemon Gold and Silver. The event, a follow-up to last year's focusing on the inaugural Pokemon games, will feature increased encounter rates and shiny rates for several popular creatures from the long-running series' second generation and encourage trading between players for exclusive Pokemon based on which version a player chooses. Coinciding with the upcoming event, Pokemon GO has officially revealed Hoppip as February's Community Day Pokemon.
