Karrablast, Shelmet Star in Pokémon Go's February 2025 Community Day

Get ready for an exciting Pokémon Go Community Day on Sunday, February 9th, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm local time, where Karrablast and Shelmet will take center stage. During this event, these Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild, giving you a fantastic opportunity to catch them. Keep your eyes peeled for their Shiny forms, which might just make an appearance if luck is on your side. As with every Community Day, you can expect the usual bonuses and additional research tasks to enhance your gameplay experience.

If you manage to catch enough Karrablast and Shelmet during the event, you'll have the chance 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 consistent 90 power across all battles.

For those looking to dive deeper into the event, a Community Day Special Research story is available for purchase at $2 or your local equivalent. This ticket not only offers encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet against a unique Dual Destiny-themed Special 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 provides another chance to encounter the themed Pokémon and increases your odds of finding their Shiny versions. Additionally, you can redeem *Pokémon Go codes* for some extra freebies to enhance your event experience.

Throughout the three-hour event window, you'll benefit from several bonuses. 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 be in effect, allowing one additional Special Trade and reducing Stardust costs by 50%.

Engage with Community Day-themed Field Research for rewards like Stardust, Great Balls, and additional encounters. You might also participate in PokéStop Showcases, adding another layer of fun to the event.

To prepare for the event, take advantage of the two Community Day bundles available in the shop, along with an Ultra Community Day Box on the Pokémon Go Web Store, available starting February 3rd.
