As we approach the Spring season, Pokémon Go players are in for a chilly surprise during the upcoming Community Day event. Scheduled for April 27th from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, Vanillite, the Fresh Snow Pokémon, will be appearing more frequently in the wild. This is your chance to catch this frosty Pokémon, and if luck is on your side, you might even encounter its Shiny variant.
The excitement doesn't end with catching Vanillite. If you evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event or up to May 4th, it will learn 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 delve deeper into the frosty festivities, there's a Community Day Special Research ticket available for just $2. By completing the 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 more.
A Timed Research opportunity will extend through the following week, providing another chance to catch Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Additionally, Field Research tasks themed around the event will offer opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and further encounters with Vanillite. Some tasks may even lead to encounters with a Vanillite featuring a special event background.
Throughout the event, several bonuses will be active to enhance your gameplay 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.
