Pokémon Go Porygon Community Day Classic Special Research guide: All tasks and rewards

Niantic is running its eighth iteration of the Community Day Classic event, bringing Porygon back into the spotlight for another round. This means you can get a Porygon-Z with an exclusive move and complete Special Research to get tons of bonus rewards. 

Porygon Community Day Classic is set to run from 2pm to 5pm local time on Jan. 20. Along with the usual event bonuses, you get access to Porygon-Z that can learn the Charged Attack, Tri Attack and boosted odds of encountering a Shiny Porygon. Special PokéStop Showcases for Porygon and Porygon-Z will also be active.

Free Porygon Limited Research will be available to help you get some Upgrades and a Sinnoh Stone, which are needed to evolve Porygon and Porygon2. And, if you want some additional content, you can purchase the $1 Community Day Special Research story.
