February 2025 Pokémon Go Community Day: Karrablast and Shelmet featured

Get ready for an exciting Pokémon Go Community Day on February 9th from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm local time, where Karrablast and Shelmet will be the stars of the show. During this three-hour event, you'll have a higher chance of encountering these Pokémon in the wild, and if luck is on your side, you might even spot their Shiny variants. As is tradition, the event comes packed with bonuses and special research tasks to enrich your gaming experience.

If you manage to catch enough Karrablast and Shelmet during the event, you can evolve them into Escavalier and Accelgor, respectively, with the chance to learn exclusive charged attacks. Escavalier can master Razor Shell, boasting 35 power in Trainer Battles and an impressive 55 in gyms and raids. Meanwhile, Accelgor can harness the power of Energy Ball, with a consistent 90 power across all battles.

For just $2 or the equivalent in your local currency, you can purchase a Community Day Special Research ticket. This ticket not only offers encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet against a unique Dual Destiny-themed background but also includes additional encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, and Rare Candy XL, enhancing your event experience significantly.

Don't miss out on the free Timed Research quest available to all who log in during the event. It provides another opportunity to encounter Karrablast and Shelmet, increasing your chances of finding their Shiny forms. Additionally, you can redeem *Pokémon Go codes* to earn some extra freebies!

Throughout the event window, you'll benefit from various bonuses, including triple XP and double Candy for catching Pokémon, with a higher chance for Trainers level 31 and above to obtain Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense activated during the event will last for three hours, and trading will be more advantageous with one extra Special Trade and a 50% reduction in Stardust costs.

Engage in Community Day-themed Field Research for rewards like Stardust, Great Balls, and more encounters. Keep an eye out for PokéStop Showcases, offering another way to participate and showcase your Pokémon.

For those looking to stock up, two Community Day bundles will be available in the in-game shop, and don't forget to check out the Ultra Community Day Box on the Pokémon Go Web Store, available starting February 3rd.
