Get ready for an exciting Pokémon Go Community Day featuring Karrablast and Shelmet, set to take place on Sunday, February 9th, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm local time. During this event, these Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild, increasing your chances of encountering their Shiny versions. As with every Community Day, you'll enjoy a range of bonuses and can participate in additional research tasks.
If you manage to catch enough Karrablast and Shelmet during the event, you'll have the opportunity to evolve them into Escavalier and Accelgor, respectively. These evolutions will gain exclusive charged attacks: Escavalier will learn Razor Shell, which boasts 35 power in Trainer Battles and 55 in gyms and raids, while Accelgor will acquire Energy Ball, effective with 90 power across all battles.
For those eager to dive deeper into the event, a Community Day Special Research story is available for purchase at $2 or the equivalent in your local currency. This ticket not only provides encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet against a special Dual Destiny-themed background but also includes additional encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, and Rare Candy XL.
Don't miss out on the free Timed Research quest available to those who log in during the event. It offers another chance to encounter the featured Pokémon and increases the likelihood of finding their Shiny versions. Additionally, you can enhance your experience by redeeming Pokémon Go codes for some extra freebies.
Throughout the three-hour event window, you'll benefit from several bonuses: triple XP and double Candy for catching Pokémon, an increased chance for Trainers level 31 and up to receive Candy XL, three-hour durations for Lure Modules and Incense, and trading advantages including one additional Special Trade and a 50% reduction in Stardust costs.
Engage with Community Day-themed Field Research for rewards such as Stardust, Great Balls, and further encounters with the event's Pokémon. You might also encounter PokéStop Showcases, offering yet another way to participate and enjoy the event.
Lastly, prepare to stock up with two Community Day bundles available in the in-game shop, and don't forget the Ultra Community Day Box, which you can purchase from the Pokémon Go Web Store starting February 3rd.
