Pokémon GO celebrates the new year with many events: the January 2021 program
To begin with, the New Year's themed event is available at the time of writing, which has new costume Pokémon in store for all of you (like the silly Slowpoke with glasses shaped like a 2020), avatar items and some popular Pokémon wearing party hats. The event started at 10pm yesterday December 31, 2020 and ends at 10pm Monday January 4. Tonight, however, you have an appointment with the extraordinary discovery of January: from 22:00 today 1st January to 22:00 on Monday 1st February you will meet Chansey in the extraordinary discovery.
The protagonist of the first Community Day of Pokémon GO of 2021 will be Machop. The event will take place on January 16th, and will bring with it the new Rematch move for Machamp. During the scheduled hours it will be possible to take advantage of triple Stardust upon capture and Aroma with a duration of 3 hours.
In five-star Raids, however, a Pokémon will appear for the first time. This is the calendar:

The first tribute event of the year will be for Unova, and will take place from 10:00 on Tuesday 5 January to 20:00 on Sunday 10 January 2021. The 17 January will be followed by Sinnoh.
Finally, we report collection challenges are about to arrive, useful not only for those who play Pokémon GO recently, but also for experienced Trainers because they give practical advice on how to catch the Pokémon protagonists of certain events.
