Get ready for an exciting Pokémon Go Community Day on Sunday, February 9th, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm local time, where Karrablast and Shelmet will take center stage. During this event, these Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild, offering players the chance to encounter their Shiny forms if luck is on their side. As with every Community Day, expect a range of bonuses and special research tasks to keep you engaged throughout the event.
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, boasting 35 power in Trainer Battles and 55 power in gyms and raids, while Accelgor will gain Energy Ball, which packs a 90 power punch across all battles.
For those looking to dive deeper into the event, you can purchase a Community Day Special Research ticket for $2 (or your local equivalent). This ticket unlocks a Dual Destiny-themed Special Research story, offering encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet set against a unique background. Along with these encounters, the ticket includes a Premium Battle Pass and Rare Candy XL, enhancing your gaming experience.
Don't miss out on the free Timed Research quest available to all who log in during the event. This quest provides another opportunity to encounter Karrablast and Shelmet, with an increased chance of finding their Shiny versions. Additionally, you can redeem Pokémon Go codes for some extra in-game goodies!
During the three-hour event window, you'll benefit from several bonuses, including triple XP and double Candy for catching Pokémon. Trainers level 31 and above will have an increased chance of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and trading will be more advantageous with one additional Special Trade and a 50% reduction in Stardust costs.
Engage with Community Day-themed Field Research for rewards like Stardust, Great Balls, and additional encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet. Keep an eye out for PokéStop Showcases, another fun way to participate in the event.
To prepare for the event, you can purchase two Community Day bundles in the in-game shop, along with an Ultra Community Day Box available on the Pokémon Go Web Store starting February 3rd. Stock up and make the most of this exciting Pokémon Go Community Day!
