We may be heading into the Spring season, but April is bringing a chill to Pokémon Go as Vanillite, the Fresh Snow Pokémon, takes center stage during next month's Community Day event. 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, as you might even encounter its Shiny variant during this frosty fun.
The excitement doesn't end with catching Vanillite in Pokémon Go. Evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event or up to May 4th, and it will learn the special Charged Attack, Avalanche. In Trainer Battles, Avalanche boasts 90 power, while in Gyms and Raids, it delivers 85 power, making it a valuable addition to your battle roster.
For those looking to dive deeper into the icy adventure, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for just $2. Completing these tasks will reward you with encounters with Vanillite featuring a Might and Mastery-themed special background, along with additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more.
There's also a Timed Research opportunity extending through the following week, offering another chance to catch a Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Additionally, Field Research tasks themed around the event will give you opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and more encounters with Vanillite. You might even stumble upon tasks leading to a Vanillite with a special event background.
Throughout the event, several bonuses will be active 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 odds of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and there will be discounts on trading.
