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 be appearing more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled, as you might even encounter its Shiny variant.
The excitement doesn't stop with just catching Vanillite in Pokémon Go. Evolving it into Vanilluxe during the event or up to May 4th will teach it the special Charged Attack, Avalanche. In Trainer Battles, Avalanche boasts a powerful 90 power, and in Gyms and Raids, it delivers an impressive 85 power. This move is a fantastic addition to your battle roster.
For those looking to immerse themselves further in the frosty fun, there's a Community Day Special Research ticket available for just $2. By completing the tasks, you'll earn encounters with Vanillite set against a Might and Mastery-themed special background, along with additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more.
Don't miss out on the Timed Research opportunity extending through the following week, offering another chance to catch a Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Event-themed Field Research tasks will also 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 maximize your gameplay experience. You'll earn triple XP for catches, double Candy for each Pokémon caught, and Trainers level 31 and above will enjoy double the odds of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and there will be discounts on trading.
