Ralts Takes the Spotlight – The “Feeling Pokémon” Shines in January
On January 7, 2025, Niantic revealed that Ralts would be the star of the upcoming Community Day Classic, scheduled for January 25, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. During this window, players can expect a significantly increased spawn rate of Ralts, along with a boosted chance to encounter its shiny form.
For a small fee of $2 USD, players can unlock the Community Day-exclusive Special Research storyline. Completing the tasks rewards trainers with a Premium Battle Pass, a Rare Candy XL, and three unique Ralts encounters featuring Dual Destiny-themed Special Backgrounds.
Evolving Ralts into Kirlia during the event or within five hours after it ends gives you a chance to obtain either Gardevoir or Gallade knowing the powerful Charged Move "Synchronoise", which deals 80 damage in Trainer Battles, Gyms, and Raids—making it a valuable addition to any competitive team.
In addition to the paid Special Research, players can also complete Timed Research for free, earning 4 Sinnoh Stones and an additional Ralts encounter with a Dual Destiny background. This Timed Research will remain available for one week following the event.
Event Bonuses to Enhance Your Experience
During the Community Day Classic, several gameplay boosts will be active to help trainers make the most of their time:
- ⚫︎ ¼ Hatch Distance for Eggs – Hatch your eggs faster than ever
- ⚫︎ Lure Modules and Incense last 3 hours – More time to attract rare Pokémon
- ⚫︎ A fun surprise when taking snapshots – Keep your camera ready!
For those looking to gear up ahead of the event, the Ultra Community Day Box will be available for $4.99 USD via the Pokémon GO Web Store starting on January 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time. This limited-time bundle includes:
- 10 Ultra Balls
- 1 Elite Charged TM
- 1 Special Research ticket
Additionally, two exclusive in-game bundles will be available for PokéCoins during the event:
- 1,350 PokéCoins – 50 Ultra Balls, 5 Super Incubators, 1 Elite Charged TM, 5 Lucky Eggs
- 480 PokéCoins – 30 Ultra Balls, 1 Incense, 3 Super Incubators, 1 Lure Module
About Pokémon GO’s Monthly Community Day Classic
Community Day Classic is a recurring monthly event in Pokémon GO, spotlighting a specific Pokémon each month. For example, November 2024 featured Mankey, offering higher encounter rates and a boosted chance to find its shiny variant.
When players evolve the featured Pokémon during the event (or within a set post-event timeframe), they receive a unique charged move not normally available through evolution—providing a strategic edge in battles.
Standard bonuses often include reduced egg hatch distances, increased XP gains, and extended duration for Lure Modules and Incense.
The December 2024 Community Day was especially unique, spanning two full days and featuring multiple Pokémon per day, each with increased spawn rates and shiny chances. Similar bonuses were applied, making it one of the most rewarding events of the year.
