The Pokémon GO Kanto celebration will keep the party going all the way to Pokémon Day

The Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto event is nearly here! Its arrival, however, won’t mark the end of the festivities on Pokémon GO — far from it, in fact. 

Announced via the official Pokémon GO blog, the Kantonian celebrations are set to ramp up beginning the day after the Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto event. This surprise second event will begin on Sunday, February 21st, at 10 a.m. and won’t stop until Pokémon Day on February 27th at 8 p.m. (your local time)!

The event will feature new Field Research tasks, as well as the appearance of a slew of Generation One Pokémon to catch, hatch, and evolve — many of which will be able to learn moves that were formerly exclusive to past Community Day events! Furthermore, some of the collection challenges from the Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto event will continue to be available for the duration of this second event.

Here’s a quick rundown on some of the Pokémon which will be appearing, as well as instructions on how to attain versions of the monsters that can learn the Community Day exclusive moves:
