One of the biggest rumors right now is that the February Community Day headliner will beWhismur or Noibat. This is because sound effects for Boomburst wererecently addedto the game’s files, and that’s a move that both of their final evolutions can learn in the mainline games.

New attacks often make their Pokemon Go debut during Community Day events, and while there are other Pokemon that can learn this attack (such as Kommo-o and Toxtricity), many players believe Whismur and Noibat are the most realistic predictions for the next Community Day.

Two other Pokemon that the community has been wishing for includeAxew, which remains one of therarest Pokemonin the game, andConkeldurr, which is a popular choice for Raids and Gyms. Adding a Community Day-exclusive move for either of these Pokemon could shake things up.
