A Look Back and Ahead:

Ralts originally joined Pokémon GO in 2017 with the Hoenn region's introduction, making its first Community Day appearance in August 2019. This event is just one of several exciting January activities planned, including the return of Shadow Ho-Oh on Shadow Day. Stay tuned for further details on the anticipated Lunar New Year event!
