Each month, Pokemon Go players take part in the mobile game’s Community Day: A recurring monthly event in which one Pokemon takes center stage and becomes available to catch in its Shiny form. January’s Community Day Pokemon is Sprigatito, but players who want to get their hands on this grassy feline familiar will find themselves paying double the cost of past Community Day events.
Previously, a Community Day Ticket was available to purchase in-game for just $1, but as of this month, that price is doubling to $2. The ticket does include a new reward (a battle pass), but Pokemon Go battle passes can often be found in bundled pairs that cost less.
Other changes have been made to Community Day as well, but Pokemon Go developer Niantic says these changes may not be permanent.
