Pokemon GO has officially revealed Piplup, one of the franchise's most popular starters, for the January 2026 edition of the game's Community Day Classic events. The massively popular mobile monster-catching game has given fans lots to be excited about throughout the past few months, debuting a plethora of new Pokemon and shiny variants. Pokemon GO is gearing up to roll out a brand-new holiday event later this month, adding some festive variants of Pokemon like Sudowoodo and Charjabug. However, Scopely is now looking past the holidays to one of 2026's Community Day events.
Community Days are some of the most popular recurring events in Pokemon GO, typically coming once every month. Pokemon GO's three-hour Community Day events put the spotlight on one particular Pokemon and its evolutions, featuring increased spawn rates and special rewards for evolving the event's star Pokemon. Community Days are also one of the best times for players to farm for shiny variants of particular Pokemon, with the event offering increased shiny rates for its main Pokemon alongside the boosted spawns. Now, Pokemon GO's newest Community Day Classic event features one of the most popular starter Pokemon from the Sinnoh region.
