As we approach the Spring season, Pokémon Go players are in for a chilly surprise with the upcoming Community Day event featuring Vanillite, the Fresh Snow Pokémon. Scheduled for April 27th from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, this event will see Vanillite appearing more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled for the chance to encounter its elusive Shiny variant, adding a rare gem to your collection.
The fun extends beyond just catching Vanillite. Evolving it into Vanilluxe during the event window or up until May 4th will unlock a special Charged Attack, Avalanche. This powerful move boasts 90 power in Trainer Battles and 85 power in Gyms and Raids, significantly boosting your battle strategy and effectiveness.
For those looking to dive deeper into the frosty festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for just $2. By completing the tasks, you'll encounter Vanillite set against a unique Might and Mastery-themed background, along with additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and other rewards.
The event also includes a Timed Research opportunity available through the following week, offering another chance to catch Vanillite with the exclusive event backdrop. Field Research tasks themed around the event will reward you with Stardust, Great Balls, and more encounters with Vanillite, some of which may feature the special event background.
Throughout the event, you'll benefit from several bonuses designed to enhance your gameplay. 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 trading will come with discounts, making it an ideal time to expand your Pokédex and strengthen your team.
