Pokémon Go’s February 2025 Community Day event will feature Karrablast and Shelmet

Get ready for a double dose of Community Day fun in Pokémon Go! Karrablast and Shelmet will be the stars of the show on Sunday, February 9th, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. Both Pokémon will appear much more frequently in the wild, increasing your chances of encountering their Shiny forms. Don't miss out on the usual Community Day bonuses and extra research tasks!

Catch enough Karrablast and Shelmet during the event, and you'll be able to evolve them into Escavalier and Accelgor with exclusive charged attacks. Escavalier learns Razor Shell (35 power in Trainer Battles, 55 in Gyms and Raids), while Accelgor gets Energy Ball (90 power in all battle types).

For even more rewards, grab the Community Day Special Research ticket for $2 (or local equivalent). This ticket unlocks a Dual Destiny-themed Special Background, extra encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet, a Premium Battle Pass, and Rare Candy XL.

A free Timed Research quest will also be available for all players who log in during the event, offering more chances to catch Karrablast and Shelmet, and boosted Shiny encounter rates. You can also redeem Pokémon Go codes for additional rewards!

Throughout the three-hour event window, enjoy 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 three hours, and trading will be enhanced with one extra Special Trade and a 50% Stardust cost reduction.

Complete Community Day-themed Field Research tasks for rewards like Stardust, Great Balls, and more encounters. Keep an eye out for PokéStop Showcases for extra participation opportunities.

Finally, stock up on supplies! Two Community Day bundles will be available in the in-game shop, along with an Ultra Community Day Box on the Pokémon Go Web Store starting February 3rd.
