Hoppip is officially the February 2022 Pokemon Go Community Day Pokemon. Here’s more on the event, including its start time and what exclusive attack players will be vying for.

Pokemon Go has announced the details of its February 2022 Community Day, which is set to feature Hoppip.

These Community Days are one of the many ways Niantic has sought to keep the game fresh and continually engaging for players, allowing them to catch Pokemon they don’t normally see in larger batches.

With Spheal being January’s limited-time Pokemon, February now gives way to Hoppip, and this Community Day is the best time to get a Shiny.

Pokemon Go’s Power Plant has been electrifying, and the Hoppip Community Day looks to continue the momentum.

With rumors of all sorts of different Pokemon swirling for February’s Community Day, fans now know Hoppip will be the official choice. This means better chances for a shiny, an exclusive move, and more.

Per the official blog post, the event is set to run from Saturday, February 12, 2022, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST.

During that time, the ‘mon will appear much more frequently. Additionally, trainers that are able to evolve Skiploom during the event or up to two hours afterward will get a Jumpluff that knows Acrobatic as its Charged Attack.

The Community Day’s Special Research Story is called “A Hop, Skip, and Jump Away,” which will be available for $1.00 USD. Tickets for this will go on sale at a later date, so stay tuned.
