As we approach the Spring season, Pokémon Go players will experience 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, Vanillite will be appearing more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled for the chance to encounter its elusive Shiny variant.
The fun doesn't end with just catching Vanillite. Evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event or up to May 4th, and it will learn the powerful Charged Attack, Avalanche. In Trainer Battles, Avalanche boasts 90 power, while in Gyms and Raids, it delivers 85 power, making it a valuable asset to your battle lineup.
For those eager to delve deeper into the frosty festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for just $2. By completing the tasks, you'll enjoy encounters with Vanillite against a special Might and Mastery-themed background, along with additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more.
The event also includes a Timed Research opportunity that extends through the following week, giving you another shot at capturing a Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Additionally, themed Field Research tasks will offer rewards like Stardust, Great Balls, and more Vanillite encounters. You may even stumble upon tasks that lead to a Vanillite with a special event background.
Throughout the event, several bonuses will be in effect to enhance 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 chance of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and there will be special discounts on trading.
