Vanillite Stars in April 2025 Pokémon Go Community Day

As we embrace the Spring season, a chilly surprise awaits in Pokémon Go 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 chance to encounter its elusive Shiny form, adding an extra layer of excitement to your hunt.

The fun doesn't end with just catching Vanillite. Evolving it into Vanilluxe during the event window, or up until May 4th, will teach it the powerful Charged Attack, Avalanche. In Trainer Battles, Avalanche boasts a 90 power, and in Gyms and Raids, it delivers a solid 85 power, making it a valuable asset to your battling strategy.

Dive deeper into the frosty festivities with the Community Day Special Research ticket, available for just $2. By completing the tasks, you'll enjoy encounters with Vanillite against a special Might and Mastery-themed background, along with additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more.

Don't miss out on the Timed Research opportunity that extends through the following week, offering yet another chance to encounter Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Engage in the event-themed Field Research tasks to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and more Vanillite encounters, some of which might feature the special event background.

Throughout the event, take advantage of several bonuses designed to enhance your gameplay. You'll earn triple XP for catches, double Candy for each Pokémon caught, and if you're level 31 or above, double the odds of receiving Candy XL. Both Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and you can enjoy discounts on trading, making it a perfect time to bolster your Pokémon collection.
