January Community Day Classic: Pokemon GO Reveals Featured Pokemon

Pokemon GO enthusiasts, get ready for an exciting event! Ralts, the beloved Psychic/Fairy-type Pokemon from Generation 3, will be the star of January's Community Day Classic. Mark your calendars for January 25, 2025, from 2 pm to 5 pm local time, as Ralts will be appearing more frequently in the wild, giving you a golden opportunity to catch one, including the elusive shiny variant.

During this event, evolving Kirlia, Ralts' evolution, will grant you a Gardevoir or Gallade equipped with the powerful Charged Attack Synchronoise, which packs a punch with 80 damage in raids, trainer battles, and gyms. This evolution window extends up to five hours after the event concludes, so don't miss your chance to power up your team.

The Community Day Classic isn't just about catching and evolving; it's packed with bonuses to enhance your gameplay. Lure Modules and Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) activated during the event will last for three hours, and the distance required to hatch eggs in incubators will be reduced to a quarter of the usual. Plus, taking a few snapshots during the event might just surprise you with additional rewards!
