As we approach the Spring season, Pokémon Go players are in for a frosty surprise 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 be appearing more frequently in the wild. Keep an eye out for the elusive Shiny variant of Vanillite to add to your collection.
The excitement extends beyond just catching Vanillite. Evolving it into Vanilluxe during the event or up to May 4th will unlock a powerful Charged Attack, Avalanche. This move boasts 90 power in Trainer Battles and 85 power in Gyms and Raids, making Vanilluxe a formidable addition to your battle team.
For those looking to immerse themselves further in the icy festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for $2. Completing these tasks will reward you with encounters with Vanillite set against a unique Might and Mastery-themed background, along with additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more.
The fun doesn't end there. A Timed Research opportunity will be available through the following week, giving you another shot at encountering Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Additionally, participating in the event-themed Field Research tasks can earn you Stardust, Great Balls, and further encounters with Vanillite, including those 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 enjoy double chances of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and there will be discounts on trading, making this a perfect opportunity to boost your Pokémon Go experience.
