Get ready for an exciting Pokémon Go Community Day featuring Karrablast and Shelmet 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, giving you a fantastic chance to catch them. Keep your eyes peeled for their Shiny versions as well, which might just pop up if luck is on your side. As with every Community Day, expect a range of bonuses and engaging research tasks to enhance your experience.
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 come with exclusive charged attacks: Escavalier will learn Razor Shell, boasting 35 power in Trainer Battles and 55 in gyms and raids, while Accelgor gains Energy Ball, with a powerful 90 across all battle formats.
Enhance your Community Day experience by purchasing a Community Day Special Research ticket for $2 or its local equivalent. This ticket offers exclusive rewards, including encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet set against a unique Dual Destiny-themed Special Background. Additionally, you'll receive extra encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, and the coveted Rare Candy XL.
Don't miss out on the free Timed Research quest available to those who log in during the event. This quest not only gives you another shot at catching Karrablast and Shelmet but also increases your chances of encountering their Shiny forms. Plus, you can redeem Pokémon Go codes for some extra freebies to sweeten the deal!
Throughout the three-hour event window, take advantage of the boosted bonuses: earn triple XP and double Candy for catching Pokémon, with an enhanced chance for Trainers level 31 and above to obtain Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for the full three hours, and trading benefits will be in effect, allowing an additional Special Trade and reducing Stardust costs by 50%.
Engage with the Community Day-themed Field Research to earn rewards such as Stardust, Great Balls, and more encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet. Keep an eye out for PokéStop Showcases, another fun way to get involved in the event.
To prepare for the event, stock up with two Community Day bundles available in the in-game shop, along with an Ultra Community Day Box on the Pokémon Go Web Store, which goes live starting February 3rd.
