February is nearly here, which means it`s almost time for another Pokemon Go Community Day. Niantic has now shared the first details on next month`s event, which is scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 16, and will feature another Gen 2 Pokemon: the Ice- and Ground-type Swinub.Throughout the event, Swinub will spawn much more frequently in the wild than it normally does. Based on previous Community Days, players will also presumably have a chance of encountering a Shiny Swinub during the event, and any Swinub that evolves into its final form--Mamoswine--up to an hour after the Community Day ends will learn a special move, although Niantic has not yet confirmed what that will be.Mamoswine was one of the many new evolved forms first introduced in the Pokemon series` fourth-generation titles, so to get it in Go, you`ll need to have a Sinnoh Stone--a new evolutionary item in the mobile game. One of the ways these can be obtained is through Trainer Battles, and during the Community Day, Niantic says you`ll have a chance to earn up to five Sinnoh Stones by battling other players. You`ll also receive five rewards per day from Trainer Battles during the Community Day weekend.On top of that, you`ll receive triple the normal amount of Stardust for capturing Pokemon during February`s Community Day. Finally, any Lure Modules that you use during the event will also remain active for three hours, rather than their usual 30-minute duration. You can read more about the event on the Pokemon Go website.As usual, February`s Community Day will only run for three hours, and it`ll take place at different times depending on where you live.
