This month's Pokémon GO Community Day features a brand new feature called Special Research Story, which is available to trainers willing to spend a little extra.
Niantic gave Pokémon GO players the power to decide which Pokémon would be the star of February's Community Day via a unique voting system. This month, it has taken that power back, although we're assuming the voting system will return in the future. Niantic has decided Abra will get a Community Day this month, and you'll hear no complaints from us.
Abra's Community Day comes with a lot of the things trainers will have come to expect: extra XP, longer duration times for lure modules, and the debut of the shiny version of whichever Pokémon has been picked to be the star of the show that month. However, this time around, Community Day comes with even more.
Niantic is offering Pokémon GO players something it has labeled the Special Research Story. For an extra $0.99, players can opt-in for this added extra and get even more from that three-hour timeslot on March 15, 2020. The special research included has not yet been revealed by the developer, but some of the rewards on offer have been unveiled and it seems to us like it is going to be well worth the extra buck.
The rewards up for grabs include a Poffin, 13,000 Stardust, a Rocket Radar, three Incense, and apparently even more rewards will be announced between now and the start of the event. This won't be the first time Niantic has offered up a little extra for players who want it. The Safari Zone event taking place in the UK the month after Abra's Community Day also has an option for paid added extras.
Abra's Community Day takes place on March 15, 2020. The northern hemisphere will find extra Abra and all of the rest listed above between 11 AM and 2 PM local time. The southern hemisphere will have their time to shine between 3 PM and 6 PM. Whether trainers choose to cough up the extra $0.99 or not, as always, this month's Community Day is one that should not be missed by any and all Pokémon GO players.
