PSA: Pokémon GO Announces January Community Day Classic Event

This January 25th, from 2 pm to 5 pm local time, Pokémon GO's Community Day Classic features Ralts! Evolving Kirlia (Ralts' evolution) during this period, or within five hours afterward, yields a Gardevoir or Gallade knowing the powerful Charged Attack, Synchronoise (80 damage).
