Pokémon Go enthusiasts, mark your calendars! The February Community Day is set to take place on February 9th, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, and it promises to be an exciting event. This Community Day will feature not one, but two Pokémon in the spotlight: Karrablast and Shelmet. These Pokémon will be appearing more frequently in the wild, giving you a golden opportunity to catch them. Keep your eyes peeled for their Shiny versions as well, which are sure to be a rare find.
Who Are the New Pokémon in the Pokémon Go February Community Day?
Karrablast and Shelmet are the stars of this event. Evolving Karrablast during the event or up until February 16th at 10:00 p.m. local time will yield an Escavalier that knows the powerful Charged Attack, Razor Shell. This move boasts 35 power in Trainer Battles and a whopping 55 power in Gyms and Raids. Similarly, evolving Shelmet within the same timeframe will result in an Accelgor equipped with the Charged Attack Energy Ball, delivering a consistent 90 power in both Trainer Battles and Gyms/Raids.
Participating in the Special Research during the event will reward you with encounters of Karrablast and Shelmet, both sporting unique Dual Destiny-themed backgrounds. You'll also receive a Premium Battle Pass and a Rare Candy XL, adding extra value to your Community Day experience. Additionally, a Timed Research event will run for a week following the main event, allowing you to log in and complete tasks for more encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet, complete with those special backgrounds.
Don’t Forget the Bonuses
The February Community Day comes packed with enticing bonuses. You'll earn 3× XP for catching Pokémon, double the usual Candy, and a 2× chance for Trainers level 31 and up to obtain Candy XL from catches. Lure Modules and Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) will last for three hours, enhancing your catching experience. And don't forget to snap some photos during the event for a delightful surprise. Make sure to download Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store to join in on the fun.
