• The event will take place on February 9th between 2:00 and 5:00 pm local time
• Karrablast and Shelmet will appear more frequently

Karrablast and Shelmet will take the spotlight in February’s upcoming Pokémon Go Community Day. On Sunday, February 9th, between 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm local time, both will appear more frequently in the wild. If you’re lucky, you might even encounter their Shiny forms. And as always, the usual bonuses and additional research tasks will also be available.

If you catch enough Karrablast and Shelmet during the Pokémon Go Community Day event, you will be able to evolve them into Escavalier and Accelgor with exclusive charged attacks. Escavalier will learn Razor Shell (35 power in Trainer Battles, 55 in gyms and raids), while Accelgor gains Energy Ball (90 power across all battles).

A Community Day Special Research story will be available for $2 or your local equivalent, offering encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet featuring a Dual Destiny-themed Special Background. The ticket also includes additional encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, and Rare Candy XL. 

Furthermore, a free Timed Research quest will be active for those who log in during the event, providing another chance at the themed Pokémon, along with a boosted chance to find their Shiny versions. You can also redeem these Pokémon Go codes to reward yourself with some freebies!

Event bonuses will be active during the three-hour window. You’ll earn triple XP and double Candy for catching Pokémon, with an increased chance for Trainers level 31 and up to receive Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and trading benefits will also be available, allowing one additional Special Trade and reducing Stardust costs by 50%.

Community Day-themed Field Research will provide rewards such as Stardust, Great Balls, and additional encounters. You may also come across PokéStop Showcases, giving you another way to participate.

And finally, if you’re looking to stock up, two Community Day bundles will be available in the shop, along with an Ultra Community Day Box on the Pokémon Go Web Store starting February 3rd.
