We review all the details and information of the expected first Community Day of 2020, which has the main character of the initial water in Sinnoh.
We already have here the first Community Day of this month of January in Pokémon GO, the first of 2020. The fifth calendar year of the popular Niantic video game on iOS and Android begins and it does so with a multitude of new features, including interchange exchange . But today we are going to focus on Piplup, which is the main protagonist of this first Community Day, from which we can get its shiny shape with exclusive movement if we have any luck. Let's get ready for this Sunday.
Sunday, January 19 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (CEST)
The first and most important are the dates. If you read us from the northern hemisphere, the Pokémon GO Community Day will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (CEST), while if you are in the southern hemisphere, it should be on your clock at 3:00 p.m. until 18:00.

During these 180 minutes of the event, Piplup, initial of the Water type of the Sinnoh region, will appear much more frequently in wild encounters, with the addition that we can meet it in a shiny way and with the opportunity to learn a movement exclusive that has already been revealed, provided we do so until 120 minutes after the end of the event (that is, until 3:59 p.m. in Spain).
Hidrocañón, exclusive movement during Community Day
Let's go into detail with what we are going to find. If your desire is to have a shiny Empoleon shiny with Hydrocannon (90 base damage; 47.4 DPS), which is the exclusive movement, the first thing we should do is evolve to Piplup to Prinplup (25 candies) between 11:00 and 15 : 59h (CEST). Once we have Prinplup we can evolve with ease to Empoleon (100 candies), the final form that is also type Water and Steel.

Beyond this aspect, fundamental and that should not be overlooked so as not to run out of Hicrocannon, we remember that there will be two more bonuses. On the one hand, 3 hour Bait Modules; on the other, we will need only 1/4 of the usual distance to hatch the eggs. Thus, in normal conditions a 10 km Egg will only require 2500 meters to hatch.
Recommendations for Community Day January 2020
There are a number of aspects that we like to remember whenever there is a Community Day, tips that can be applied from this Friday to Sunday. If we are in a hurry of candies, essential to evolve, it is best to have Pinia Berries / Pinia Silver Berry this weekend to get as many Piplup as possible (which increase the number of candies per capture) or, failing that, put to the Piplup that we want to boost immediately as a buddy and walk kilometers with him. The more Piplup captured, the more options we get the desired shiny.
Finally, we recommend leaving home with space in the backpack and space in the Pokémon bag. Thus, we will avoid wasting minutes transferring or throwing objects because we do not have space, which is also something that usually happens. It is no less important to be well equipped with Poké Ball, Super Ball and Ultra Ball, especially the latter being the ones with a higher capture rate. It is also advisable to go to Frambu Berries (easier capture) if we run into a shiny / variocolor, because that way we will not play it before a possible unsuccessful attempt (because it escapes, for example). In short, this Friday and Saturday, it is best that we make massive collection of all these objects.
And you, are you going to try to get an Empoleon Full Ivs (100%) shiny with Hidrocañón?
In other news related to Pokémon GO, we have already prepared our compilation with all the raid bosses of this month of January 2020; also the monthly article with all the eggs of 2, 5, 7 and 10 km resulting after being hatched during this month of January. Latios and Latias are the last to arrive. They will be present at the Raids only for a few days in January.
