Along with this, there will also be a special Community Day Special Research Story, Quality Quills. It’ll cost $1 USD (or equivalent pricing tier in your local currency).

Pokémon GO has also recently added Vivillon into the game! You can encounter it by pinning postcards you receive from friends, or find.
