How to prepare for Pokemon Go Chespin Community Day

You may notice that every December headliner is missing from this list. That’s because, in December, Niantic traditionally features every Pokemon from the past year as headliners at the same time.
Alongside all of these Community Days, there have been a few Community Day Classics that bring back old headliners. The next one is scheduled for February 21, although the star hasn’t been announced yet.
