Vanillite Stars in April 2025 Pokémon Go Community Day

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. Set to take place on April 27th from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, Vanillite will appear more frequently in the wild, and if you're lucky, you might even encounter its Shiny variant.

The excitement doesn't stop with catching Vanillite in Pokémon Go. If you evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event or up until May 4th, it will learn the Charged Attack Avalanche. In Trainer Battles, Avalanche packs a powerful 90 power, while in Gyms and Raids, it deals 85 power, making it a fantastic addition to your battle roster.

For those looking to delve deeper into the frosty fun, there's a Community Day Special Research ticket available for just $2. Completing the tasks will grant encounters with Vanillite featuring a Might and Mastery-themed special background, alongside extra Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more.

There's also a Timed Research opportunity extending through the following week, offering another chance to snag a Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Furthermore, Field Research tasks themed around the event will give you a chance to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and more encounters with Vanillite. You might even find tasks leading to a Vanillite with a special event background.

Throughout the event, several bonuses will remain active to help you make the most of your time. You’ll earn triple XP for catches, double the Candy for each Pokémon caught, and Trainers level 31 and above have double the odds of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and there are discounts on trading.
