As we approach the Spring season, Pokémon Go enthusiasts can brace for a chilling twist with the upcoming Community Day event featuring Vanillite, the Fresh Snow Pokémon. Mark your calendars for April 27th, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, when Vanillite will appear more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled for the chance to encounter its elusive Shiny variant.
The thrill extends beyond merely catching Vanillite. Evolving it into Vanilluxe during the event or up to May 4th grants it the powerful Charged Attack, Avalanche. In Trainer Battles, Avalanche boasts a formidable 90 power, while in Gyms and Raids, it delivers a solid 85 power, significantly enhancing your battle strategy.
For those eager to delve deeper into the frosty festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for just $2. By completing the associated tasks, you'll enjoy encounters with Vanillite adorned with a unique Might and Mastery-themed background, additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and other rewards.
Don't miss the Timed Research opportunity, which extends through the week following the event, offering another chance to capture a Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Engage with the event-themed Field Research tasks to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and additional encounters with Vanillite. You might also stumble upon tasks that lead to a Vanillite sporting a special event background.
Throughout the event, numerous 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 benefit from double the odds of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and there will be discounts on trading, making this a prime opportunity to enhance your Pokémon Go journey.
