Pokemon Go will shake up its metagame with the first Community Day of 2022. Earlier today, Pokemon Go provided players with new details about its next Community Day, which will take place on January 16, 2022. The new event will feature Spheal, an Ice/Water-type Pokemon that first appeared in Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire. While Spheal already has its Shiny variant included in the game, the Community Day will offer players a chance to get a Walrein (Spheal’s fully evolved form) with a ravamped moveset. When Sealeo is evolved into Walrein during the event, it will learn the moves Powder Snow and Icicle Spear. Icicle Spear is a new move to Pokemon Go that deals 60 damage – depending on how much energy is needed to use the move, it could provide Walrein with a lot more use in the Ultra League PVP format. More details about just how much of an upgrade Icicle Spear will be revealed once Pokemon Go updates its Game Master data, likely ahead of the Community Day event in a few months.
