Niantic announced a new surprise April 2022 Pokemon Go Community Day, with a pokemon most fans won’t expect.
Throughout the pandemic, Pokemon Go trainers had an extended window to catch community day Pokemon. Instead of a three-hour window, trainers had six hours to catch the community day Pokemon. In January, Niantic hosted a bonus community day bringing back Bulbasaur.
With March’s community day now behind them, Niantic has unveiled the April 2022 Pokemon Go Community day and it is a Pokemon many wouldn’t expect. Typically, Niantic unveils the upcoming month’s events before announcing the community day; in the news, Niantic announced that the six-hour window will revert back to the three-hour window. The April 2022 Pokemon Go Community Day Pokemon will be a debuting Pokemon.

Niantic’s Quote on the Change
We wanted to take a moment to discuss some changes to the Community Day format we’ll be testing. In 2020, we doubled the length of our Community Day events, extending them from three hours to six. Since then, however, we’ve found that only five percent of our Trainers tend to participate in the event for more than three hours.
One of the biggest pieces of positive feedback that we received after January’s three-hour Community Day Classic was that players and community leaders noticed how much more of the community was out and about during the event. So, for Stufful Community Day, we’re returning to a three-hour format. Our hope is that doing so will create even more opportunities for Trainers to play together and connect outside as they’re exploring.
We know that Trainers have enjoyed all of the extra resources that can be collected during longer events, so we’re adding some new and exciting perks to Stufful Community Day to give you the ability to collect just as many resources during gameplay.
