As we approach the Spring season, Pokémon Go players will experience a delightful chill with the upcoming Community Day event spotlighting 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 fantastic opportunity to catch this frosty Pokémon. Keep your eyes peeled for a chance to encounter its Shiny variant, adding an extra layer of excitement to your hunt.
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 special Charged Attack, Avalanche. In Trainer Battles, Avalanche boasts a powerful 90 power, and in Gyms and Raids, it delivers an impressive 85 power. This makes Vanilluxe a valuable addition to your battle lineup, enhancing your competitive edge.
For those looking to dive deeper into the snowy festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for just $2. By completing the tasks, you'll encounter Vanillite with a Might and Mastery-themed special background, alongside additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more rewards.
A Timed Research opportunity extends through the following week, giving you another chance to catch Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Additionally, event-themed Field Research tasks will reward you with Stardust, Great Balls, and further encounters with Vanillite. Some tasks may even lead you to a Vanillite with a special event background.
Throughout the event, several bonuses will be in effect to maximize your experience. 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 an ideal time to bolster your Pokémon collection.
