This January 25th, from 2 pm to 5 pm local time, Pokémon GO's Community Day Classic features Ralts! Trainers can catch this Gen 3 Psychic-type Pokémon in the wild, with a chance of encountering a Shiny Ralts.
Evolving Kirlia (Ralts' evolution) during the event, or within five hours afterward, yields a Gardevoir or Gallade knowing the powerful Charged Attack, Synchronoise (80 damage).
This Community Day Classic, a recurring event offering a second chance at past Community Day Pokémon, includes several bonuses:
- Increased Ralts Spawns: Encounter Ralts more frequently in the wild.
- Synchronoise Attack: Evolve Kirlia to get Gardevoir or Gallade with Synchronoise.
- Event Bonuses:

- 3-hour Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense).

Beyond the increased spawns and special attack, the event also offers:
- Special Research ($2): Rewards include a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and three Ralts encounters with seasonal backgrounds.
- Timed Research: Rewards include four Sinnoh Stones and a Ralts encounter.
- Continued Timed Research: Offers additional Ralts encounters with special backgrounds.
