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 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 powerful, 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 an enhanced experience, 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, along with boosted Shiny odds. You can also redeem Pokémon Go codes for extra 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 boosted with an extra Special Trade and 50% reduced Stardust costs.

Community Day-themed Field Research will reward you with Stardust, Great Balls, and more Pokémon encounters. Keep an eye out for PokéStop Showcases for additional ways to participate.

Finally, stock up before the event! Two Community Day bundles will be available in the in-game shop, and an Ultra Community Day Box will be on the Pokémon GO Web Store starting February 3rd.
