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, these Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild, giving you a better chance to encounter their elusive Shiny forms. As with every Community Day, you can look forward to the usual bonuses and engaging research tasks.
By catching enough Karrablast and Shelmet during the event, you'll have the opportunity to evolve them into Escavalier and Accelgor, respectively. These evolutions come with exclusive charged attacks: Escavalier will learn Razor Shell, delivering 35 power in Trainer Battles and 55 in gyms and raids, while Accelgor gains the powerful Energy Ball, boasting 90 power across all battles.
Enhance your Community Day experience by purchasing the Community Day Special Research ticket for $2 or its local equivalent. This ticket grants you access to a Dual Destiny-themed Special Research story, offering exclusive encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet, along with a unique background. The ticket also includes additional encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, and Rare Candy XL, making it a valuable addition to your event participation.
Don't miss out on the free Timed Research quest available to those who log in during the event. This quest offers another opportunity to encounter Karrablast and Shelmet, with an increased chance of finding their Shiny versions. Plus, you can enhance your rewards by redeeming Pokémon Go codes for additional freebies!
During the event window, take advantage of the active bonuses: earn triple XP and double Candy for catching Pokémon, with Trainers level 31 and up enjoying an increased chance to receive Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and you'll benefit from trading perks, including one additional Special Trade and a 50% reduction in Stardust costs.
Engage with Community Day-themed Field Research to earn rewards such as Stardust, Great Balls, and additional encounters. You might also encounter PokéStop Showcases, providing another avenue for participation and fun.
To prepare for the event, consider purchasing one of the two Community Day bundles available in the in-game shop, or grab the Ultra Community Day Box from the Pokémon Go Web Store, available starting February 3rd.
