Pokemon Go fans are counting down to the start of the first ever Community Day event.
Launching with a host of bonuses, the new Pokemon Go event has a January 20 release date and a 10am UK start time.
But the bonuses won’t be around for long, because the event ends just three hours later at 1pm GMT.
As part of the event, fans will be able to capture a special Pikachu that knows a brand new move called Surf.
New Pokemon will appear as part of future Pokemon Go Community Day events.
“Once a month, we’ll host a Pokemon GO Community Day event starring a special Pokemon, which will appear frequently around the world for just a few hours,” reads a Niantic post.
“When caught during the event, this special Pokemon will know an exclusive move.”

And the newly released Pikachu isn’t the only reason to take part in the Community Day event.
Lure modules will last for the duration of the 3-hour event, giving you a better chance of catching Pikachu.
Likewise, fans will also earn double XP throughout the event, or four times the XP if they use a Lucky Egg.
Future events will include other bonuses, including increased Stardust and more.
Fans can even use the opportunity to battle Legendary Gen 3 Pokemon Kyogre.
The Legendary Pocket Monster is available in Raids until February 14.
It’s worth remembering that as a Water-type Pokemon, Kyogre is weak against Electric and Grass-type attacks.
“Its sole Fast Attack—Waterfall—is a Water-type attack, while its Charged Attack may be an Electric-type Thunder, Ice-type Blizzard, or Water-type Hydro Pump,” the Pokemon Company explains.
“Electric-type Pokemon are reliable choices regardless of Kyogre’s moves. Their Electric-type attacks will deal super effective damage to Kyogre, while none of Kyogre’s attacks are super effective in return.
“Raikou will be the most effective Electric-type Pokemon by far, with Zapdos and Jolteon trailing afterward.”
