Pokemon GO has revealed Ralts as the Pokemon featured in January's Community Day Classic. The event will take place on January 25, with Pokemon GO players having the opportunity to catch Gardevoir's base form, considered the best Psychic-type of Gen 3.
Community Day is a recurring event that celebrates players of Niantic's augmented reality game and is always highly anticipated by the community. To give trainers a second chance, Pokemon GO introduced Community Day Classic in 2022, which revisits previous Community Days. In 2024, specifically, Porygon, Bagon, Cyndaquil, and Beldum were the pocket monsters featured in the Community Day Classic editions of January, April, June, and August.
