As spring approaches, Pokémon Go players can anticipate a frosty twist with the upcoming Community Day event centered around Vanillite, the Fresh Snow Pokémon. Mark your calendars for April 27th, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, when Vanillite will be appearing more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive Shiny Vanillite, which may make a rare appearance during this event.
The excitement extends beyond 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 further into the event, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for $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 week following the event, offering another chance to catch Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Engage with the event-themed Field Research tasks for opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and more encounters with Vanillite, including those with a special event background.
Throughout the event, take advantage of various bonuses designed to maximize your experience. Enjoy triple XP for catches, double Candy for each Pokémon caught, and for Trainers level 31 and above, double the chances of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and there will be discounts on trading, making it easier to complete your Pokédex.
