Vanillite Stars in April 2025 Pokémon Go Community Day: Snowy Spring Fun

We may be heading into Spring season, but April is bringing a chill to Pokémon Go as Vanillite, the Fresh Snow Pokémon, takes the spotlight 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 appear more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled, as you might even encounter its elusive Shiny variant.

The excitement doesn't end with catching Vanillite. Evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event or up until May 4th, and you'll unlock 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 team.

For those looking to dive deeper into the frosty festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for just $2. Completing these tasks will reward you with encounters with Vanillite, set against a special Might and Mastery-themed backdrop. You'll also receive additional Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more.

Don't miss the Timed Research opportunity extending through the following week, which offers another chance to catch Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Engage in event-themed Field Research tasks to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and more Vanillite encounters. Some tasks might even lead you to a Vanillite featuring a special event background.

Throughout the event, several bonuses will be in effect to enhance your gameplay. You'll earn triple XP for catches, double Candy for each Pokémon caught, and Trainers level 31 and above will have double the odds of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and you can enjoy discounts on trading.
