Vanillite Stars in Pokémon Go's April 2025 Community Day: A Snowy Spring Surprise

As we transition into the Spring season, April brings a refreshing chill to Pokémon Go with the spotlight on Vanillite, the Fresh Snow Pokémon, during the upcoming Community Day event. Scheduled for April 27th from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, players will have the chance to encounter Vanillite more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled for the rare opportunity to catch its Shiny variant, adding an extra layer of excitement to your Pokémon Go adventures.

The thrill extends beyond just catching Vanillite. If you evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event or up until May 4th, your Pokémon will learn the powerful Charged Attack, Avalanche. This move boasts 90 power in Trainer Battles and 85 power in Gyms and Raids, making Vanilluxe a formidable addition to your battle lineup.

For those looking to dive deeper into the frosty festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for $2. By completing these tasks, you'll encounter Vanillite with a unique 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, which extends through the following week, offering another chance to encounter Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Engage in Field Research tasks themed around the event to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and additional encounters with Vanillite. You may also find tasks that reward you with a Vanillite featuring a special event background.

Throughout the event, several bonuses will be in effect to enhance your 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, making it an ideal time to bolster your Pokémon Go roster.
