As we approach the Spring season, Pokémon Go players will experience a surprising chill during the upcoming Community Day event featuring Vanillite, the Fresh Snow Pokémon. Mark your calendars for April 27th, as the event will run from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time. During this period, Vanillite will appear more frequently in the wild, offering players a chance to catch this icy Pokémon, and perhaps even its elusive Shiny variant.
The fun doesn't end with just catching Vanillite. If you evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event or up to May 4th, your Vanilluxe will learn the powerful Charged Attack, Avalanche. This move boasts 90 power in Trainer Battles and 85 power in Gyms and Raids, making it a valuable asset to your battle team.
For those looking to immerse themselves further in the frosty festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for $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 other rewards.
Additionally, a Timed Research opportunity will extend through the following week, providing another chance to encounter Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. The event also includes Field Research tasks that offer Stardust, Great Balls, and more Vanillite encounters. Some tasks may even lead to a Vanillite with a special event background.
Throughout the event, several bonuses will be active to enhance your gameplay. 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, making it the perfect time to maximize your Pokémon Go experience.
