As we embrace the Spring season, Pokémon Go is set to cool things down with an exciting Community Day event on April 27th from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time. During this frosty event, Vanillite, the Fresh Snow Pokémon, will grace the wild more frequently. Keep your eyes peeled—you might just encounter its Shiny variant!
The thrill of catching Vanillite is just the beginning. Evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event or up to May 4th, and it will master the powerful Charged Attack, Avalanche. This move boasts 90 power in Trainer Battles and 85 power in Gyms and Raids, making Vanilluxe a formidable addition to your battle team.
For those looking to dive deeper into the icy adventure, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for just $2. By completing these tasks, you'll encounter Vanillite against a special Might and Mastery-themed background, along with additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more.
The fun extends beyond the event day with a Timed Research opportunity available through the following week, offering another chance to catch Vanillite with the exclusive 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 enhance your experience. You’ll earn triple XP for catches, double Candy for each Pokémon caught, and if you're level 31 or above, double the odds of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and there will be discounts on trading, making it easier to connect with fellow Trainers.
