Noibat Community Day takes place on February 5, 2023, and gives Trainers a chance to snag a Boomburst Noivern. Double Catch candy, triple catch stardust, and a Special Research story are coming as well. While Noibat may have already been released as a shiny, it is a rare one, and takes a whopping 400 candy to evolve, so this event is well worth grinding!
You can learn more about Boomburst (and Community Day Noivern) in JRE47’s PvP analysis and in MeteorAsh’s “Why Noivern with Boomburst is bad and what it needs” articles, both of which showcase the impact of Boomburst on Noivern’s perfromance.

Bonus Raid Battles after Community Day
Noibat
Sunday, February, 5, 2023, from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. local time
After the three-hour Community Day event ends, Trainers will be able to take on special four-star Raid Battles featuring Noibat. Defeating one of these raids will cause more Noibat to appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes! Check out our raid guide for the best way to defeat these raids. For the first time, these tier 4 raids are soloable, so prep your team accordingly!
You can only join these raids using Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes. Remote Raid Passes cannot be used to join these raids.
Once you successfully complete a four-star Raid Battle against Noibat, Noibat will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one! (*)
(*) Noibat that appear under these circumstances will have the same chance of appearing as a Shiny Pokémon as those that appear during February Community Day’s three-hour event period.
