As we transition into the Spring season, Pokémon Go enthusiasts are in for a frosty surprise with the upcoming Community Day event on April 27th. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, Vanillite, the Fresh Snow Pokémon, will be appearing more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled, as you may even have the chance to encounter its Shiny variant!
The fun doesn't end with just catching Vanillite. Evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event or up to May 4th, and it will learn the powerful Charged Attack, Avalanche. This move boasts 90 power in Trainer Battles and 85 power in Gyms and Raids, significantly enhancing your battle strategy.
For those looking to immerse themselves even further into the event, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for $2. By completing the tasks, you'll enjoy encounters with Vanillite set against a special Might and Mastery-themed background, along with additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more.
A Timed Research opportunity extends through the following week, offering another chance to catch Vanillite with the exclusive event backdrop. Additionally, event-themed Field Research tasks will reward you with Stardust, Great Balls, and more Vanillite encounters, some of which may feature a special event background.
Throughout the event, several bonuses will be in effect to maximize your experience. You'll earn triple XP for catches, double Candy for each Pokémon caught, and Trainers level 31 and above will have double the chance of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and there will be discounts on trading, making it the perfect time to expand your Pokémon collection.
