Sustainability Week 2022 is coming soon, and with it comes a new shiny Pokémon and a brand-new one from Alola. 

The event runs from Wednesday, April 20, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. to Monday, April 25, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. local time with a Community Day on Saturday, April 23, 2022. 

During the Community Day, Timed Research will be available, and each phase will require Trainers to adventure 1 km. Doing so will make them encounter a Cherubi. 

Moreover, during Community Day, for every Trainer who adventures 5 km, Niantic will plant a tree (up to 100,000 trees).
