Hoppip is the hero of the February 2022 Community Day, allowing users to capture a tonne of Pokemon from the Johto region, evolve it into Jumpluff with a special attack, and take advantage of incentives like triple Catch Stardust.

A Hop, Skip, and a Jump Away Special Research Start Date

The Hoppip Community Day event in Pokemon Go will take place on Saturday, February 12, 2022, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in each player’s local time.

This means you’ll have six hours to finish the A Hop, Skip, and a Jump Away Special Research story and capture enough Hoppip to evolve a Jumpluff that knows the event-only move Acrobatics.

How to get the A Hop, Skip, and a Jump Away Special Research

In Pokemon Go, you’ll need to buy a $1 ticket (or the equivalent price in your local currency) from the in-game Shop to unlock the A Hop, Skip, and a Jump Away Special Research.

Keep in mind that the ticket must be purchased before the end of the Community Day event. Niantic has stated that no in-game medal will be awarded for finishing the Special Research story.
