As we approach the Spring season, Pokémon Go players are in for a chilly surprise during the upcoming Community Day event 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. This is your chance to catch this icy Pokémon and perhaps even encounter its elusive Shiny variant.
The fun doesn't end with just catching Vanillite. Evolving it into Vanilluxe during the event or up to May 4th will grant it the special Charged Attack, Avalanche. This powerful 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 immerse themselves further in the frosty festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for just $2. By completing the tasks, you'll encounter Vanillite with a unique Might and Mastery-themed background, along with additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and other rewards.
A Timed Research opportunity will extend through the following week, offering another chance to catch Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Additionally, Field Research tasks themed around the event will reward you with Stardust, Great Balls, and more Vanillite encounters. You might even come across tasks that lead to a Vanillite with 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 chance of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and there will be discounts on trading.
