As we approach the Spring season, Pokémon Go players are in for a frosty surprise with the upcoming Community Day event featuring 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 chance to encounter its Shiny variant, adding a special sparkle to your collection.
The fun doesn't end with just catching Vanillite. Evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event or up to May 4th, and you'll unlock 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 festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for just $2. By completing the tasks, you'll enjoy encounters with Vanillite set against a Might and Mastery-themed special background, along with additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more.
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. Engage in Field Research tasks themed around the event to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and more encounters with Vanillite. You might even stumble upon tasks that lead to a Vanillite with a special event background.
Throughout the event, take advantage of several bonuses designed to 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 the perfect time to expand your Pokémon collection.
