check this out lads - if you enjoyed Pikachu in a santa hat - this starts Sunday
https://pokemongopocket.com/pikachu-wearing-party-hat-for-the-upcoming-pokemon-day/
also noticed that now if you catch an evolved gen1 pokemon in the wild you get additional stardust and candy depending on level of evolvement of that monster
so instead of just 3 standard candies you might actually get 3, 5 or even 10 candies if you catch the beast of the evolvement group out...
