Noibat comes into the limelight for February 2023 Community Day in Pokemon GO

On January 11, 2023, Niantic announced February's Community Day for Pokemon GO featuring Noibat. Given the high requirements for its evolution, the community is delighted to have the Sound Wave Pokemon in the spotlight next month.

Community Day is an excellent venture by the developers at Niantic that takes place every month in Pokemon GO. It brings players out of their houses and engages them in the event together. They attempt to catch the featured Pocket Monster, reap the event bonus, and engage in post-event special raids.
