It is time for the main event, or at least one of the events most Pokémon Go players look forward to each month. The Community Day Classic: Larvitar is now rolling out, which means there is plenty of Field and Special Research to complete while you run around collecting the Rock Skin Pokémon.
As always, players will see Larvitar spawning more frequently in the wild from 2 to 5pm local time on Jan. 21, which means it is the perfect time to try and catch as many of the Johto-native Pokémon as possible to train up some strong Tyranitar. And, if you evolve a Pupitar into Tyranitar before 7pm on Jan. 21, it will know the Fast Attack Smack Down.
Additionally, players will get the usual triple Catch XP bonus and see Incense and Lure Module durations increased to three hours while the event is ongoing. You will also have a higher chance to encounter a Shiny Larvitar too.

If you plan to purchase it, or just focus on the free Field Research, here are all of the research tasks and rewards you can expect to see.
