Pokemon Go Community Day happens monthly with a featured Pokemon everytime paired with exclusive moves and this February 2023 features Noibat. Here's everything to know about the February 2023 Community Day.
The Community Day is a monthly event in Pokemon Go that puts a spotlight on a specific Pokemon, with higher wild encounters, increased Shiny chances, exclusive moves when evolved, and many more bonuses. The Pokemon Go February Community Day will happen on Sunday, February 5, 2023 from 2 PM to 5 PM in each different local times of the trainer's game. The featured Pokemon is none other than Noibat, also known as the Sound Wave Pokemon. Once evolved to a Noivern during event hours, or up to five hours after it, it will get an exclusive Normal-type Charged Attack called Boomburst. Noivern's typing and overall statistics is a good choice when battling in the Great League. Of course, you have a chance to encounter a shiny one.

Noibat appears in 4-Star Raids after Community Day ends
While the featured Pokemon of Pokemon Go February Community Day, Noibat, will only last until 5 PM of the February 5th, trainers will be able to join 4-Star Raid Battles with Noibat in it until 10 PM. Once defeated, you can encounter a Noibat that will spawn near the Gym for the next 30 minutes. These bonus 4-Star Raid Battles however is not accessed with Remote Raid Passes so you have to work for it in order to get a Noibat, especially wanting to evolve it for the exclusive move. Trainers must prepare a lot of Poke Balls if they want to catch a lot of Noibat.
There will also be a ticket for the February Community Day Special Research story, Abundant Noise, available to purchase from the in-game Shop closer to the event date.
