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, you'll find these Pokémon appearing more frequently in the wild, increasing your chances of encountering their elusive Shiny forms. Alongside the spotlight on these Pokémon, you can expect the usual Community Day bonuses and engaging research tasks to enhance your gaming experience.
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 a power of 35 in Trainer Battles and 55 in gyms and raids, while Accelgor will gain the potent Energy Ball, with a consistent 90 power across all battle formats.
For those looking to dive deeper into the event, a Community Day Special Research story ticket is available for $2 or its local equivalent. This ticket offers exclusive encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet against a special Dual Destiny-themed background, along with additional encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, and the coveted Rare Candy XL.
Don't miss out on the free Timed Research quest available to those who log in during the event. It provides another opportunity to encounter the featured Pokémon and increases your chances of finding their Shiny versions. Additionally, you can enhance your rewards by redeeming Pokémon Go codes for some delightful freebies.
Throughout the three-hour event window, you'll benefit from several bonuses: earn triple XP and double Candy for catching Pokémon, with a higher chance for Trainers level 31 and above to receive Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense activated during the event 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 further encounters with the event's Pokémon. Keep an eye out for PokéStop Showcases, offering another exciting way to participate in the festivities.
Lastly, stock up for the event with two Community Day bundles available in the in-game shop, and don't forget to check out the Ultra Community Day Box on the Pokémon Go Web Store, available starting February 3rd.
