Let's celebrate the adorable Noibat!

Pok?mon GO*takes player engagement to another level. Since its launch in 2016, players have been wowed by their favorite Pok?mon seemingly all around them ? all you need is a phone to see them and catch them. Years later, the mobile game keeps itself relevant by always adding new creatures to catch and plenty of events to get you out there. I talked about what Spotlight Hour is in Pok?mon GO in a recent post where I mentioned that these one-hour events every Tuesday highlight one Pok?mon, which is basically just a smaller, weekly Community Day. Well, the next Community Day coming our way is Sunday, February 5 from 2-5 PM, and it's all about that Noibat.
Community Day is a three-hour long event that will highlight one Pok?mon, making them more abundant in the wild during the event. If you don't already have the Pok?mon in question, this is the perfect opportunity to get out there and start slinging Pok?balls. Like a real-life Community Day, there will be plenty of prizes to look forward to!
Noibat and Noivern

This adorable Sound Wave Pok?mon looks like a bat and evolves into Noivern. During the upcoming Community Day event, there will be more Noibats than usual, so you can add this cutie to your Pok?dex. Also during this event, if you evolve Noibat into Noivern during the time limit and up to five hours afterwards, you will get a bonus move. Noivern will know the Charged Attack Boomburst, which has 150 Power during Trainer Battles and 140 Power in Gyms and raids. If you're Shiny hunting, it is possible to find a Shiny Noibat during this event!
Event Bonuses

According to the Pok?mon GO official event announcement, the February 5 event bonuses will include the following:

• 3? Stardust for catching Pok?mon.

• 2? Candy for catching Pok?mon.

• 2? chance for Trainers level 31 and up to receive Candy XL from catching Pokemon.

• Lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours.

• Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) activated during the event will last for three hours.

• Take a few snapshots during Community Day for a surprise!

Players can also gain the following bonuses that will be active longer than the others. The following will be active from 2-10 PM:

• One additional Special Trade can be made for a maximum of two for the day.

• Trades made during the event and up to five hours afterward will require 50% less Stardust.

Beyond these bonuses, there are some more opportunities that cost a little extra. You can tune into the Special Research story, "Abundant Noise," for $1.00. By stopping at Pok?stops and opening Gifts, you can purchase adorable Noibat stickers from the shop. Finally, if you have a Raid Pass or Premium Battle Pass, you can join special four-star raids from 5-10 PM. Winning will cause the Noibat to be more abundant for 30 more minutes around the Gym. This may be a last-ditch effort to catch a Shiny Noibat if you weren't lucky during the event.

Community Day is just one more way to stay connected to your Pok?mon GO friends. If you're wondering how many friends you can have in Pok?mon GO, you can find out here on Destructoid. In the meantime, get those Pok?balls stocked up and ready for Sunday, February 5, 2023!
