As we approach the Spring season, Pokémon Go is set to cool things down with a frosty twist during the upcoming Community Day on April 27th. From 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, the Fresh Snow Pokémon, Vanillite, will be appearing more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled, as you might just encounter its elusive Shiny variant!
The fun doesn't end with catching Vanillite. Evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event or up until 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, making it a formidable addition to your battle strategy.
For those looking to immerse themselves further in the icy festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for just $2. By completing these tasks, you'll encounter Vanillite with a unique Might and Mastery-themed special background, along with additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and other rewards.
Don't miss out on the Timed Research opportunity, which extends through the following week, offering another chance to catch Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Additionally, event-themed Field Research tasks will provide opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and more encounters with Vanillite, some of which may feature a special event background.
Throughout the event, several bonuses will be active to enhance 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 odds 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 bolster your Pokémon collection.
