The new year is right around the corner andPokemon GOplayers finally are getting the details they have been waiting for about the coming months. The Season of Mythical Wishes continues in January and although players learnedthe January Community Day datesa few weeks ago, it’s only now that Niantic is ready to confirm which Pokemon will be in the spotlight when January 7 rolls around.
As always, the featured Community Day Pokemon will be experiencing greatly increased spawn rates during the event window and players will be able to use the opportunity to grind Chespin Candy,shiny encounters, and enjoy other bonuses that will be active throughout the day.Pokemon GOCommunity Days are a stable of the mobile AR experience at this point, so even the most casual players likely know what to expect.

January 2023’s event is going to offer 1/4 distance egg hatching and 2x Candy, which are a pretty decent set of incentives. The Stardust bonus is missing this time around which makes it slightly less appealing to players who are looking to grindthe game’s most valuable resource,but there’s still plenty of motivation for both PvE and PvP fans to spend some in-game time collection Chespin and securing the Exclusive Move evolution - Chesnaught with Frenzy Plant.
We’re excited to announce that Chespin, the Spiny Nut Pokémon, will be featured during January 2023 Community Day!
Event Bonuses
Even as the colder months arrive, Niantic is still pushing players to get out and about during the event and rack up some KMs to hatch those Eggs during the day. The Season of Mythical Wishes has somepretty decent hatches in rotation, so it should be worth bundling up and exploring town for a few hours if the weather cooperates. In the week ahead, we should learn more about what other events will be arriving during the first weeks of 2023 and the second month of the game’s latest season.
