Pokemon GO’sFebruraryCommunity Day event is just a few weeks away, which means players have the elusive Pokemon Rhyhorn and its evolutions on the brain now that voting has officially closed. The weekend of February 22, 2020Pokemon GOplayers will have three hours to catch as many of the Gen 1 Ground/Rock-type as possible and expand their collection with shiny spawns, evolutions, and hopefully a few more surprises.
The basic idea ofPokemon GOCommunity Dayis pretty simple: Go out and catch a ton of pokemon for three hours, but this time around things are different. For players who need a little more direction than that, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide full of all the intel you need for the big day.

Be sure to keep in mind that this day would be a fantastic time to earn those gold Rock- and Ground-type badge if you haven’t already acquired it. The badge isn’t particular hard to obtain for players who have been around since the beginning, but this is a great opportunity for newer players to catch up.
Rhyhorn - Gen 1 Ground/Rock-type with powerful evolution form
Northern Hemisphere - 11:00am - 2:00pm
Southern Hemisphere - 3:00pm - 6:00pm
Starting in February 2019, Community Day events now always take place on local time, no matter where you are playing. That changes a bit over the winter months as the time is split between hemispheres rather than time zones. Take note of your locations time above.
Special Move
The exclusive Community Day move for February 2020 has been confirmed as Rock Wrecker. The specific stats for the move aren’t known yet, but it was a signature move for Rhyperior and will likely be a strong attack in thePokemon GOPvE metagame.
Make sure to evolve during the active time window (within an hour of the event ending) if you want to secure it.
3-hour Lure Modules
Limited Time Field Research
Recent updates to the game’s code suggest that this Community Day, like last month’s, will temporarily offer special Field Research tasks that put an emphasis on the featured Pokemon. Be sure to claim your rewards and clear out a space for these quests if you want to see them.
Shiny Variant
Niantic usually doesn’t confirm the shiny chance until after the event has started, but keep an eye out for shiny Rhyhorn while hunting. They’ve been a part of every other Community Day event, so we fully expect to see them on Saturday the 3rd.
