Pokémon Go brings some snowy fun to your spring with Vanillite as the Community Day Pokémon in April 2025

by Amelia May 21,2025

As we transition into the Spring season, Pokémon Go players are in for a frosty surprise in April with Vanillite, the Fresh Snow Pokémon, taking center stage during the upcoming Community Day event. Mark your calendars for April 27th, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time, as Vanillite will be appearing more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled, as you might just encounter its elusive Shiny variant during this event.

The fun doesn't end with catching Vanillite in Pokémon Go. If you evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event or up to May 4th, your Vanilluxe will learn the powerful Charged Attack, Avalanche. In Trainer Battles, Avalanche boasts a formidable 90 power, and in Gyms and Raids, it delivers an impressive 85 power. This makes it a valuable addition to your battle arsenal.

For those looking to immerse themselves even further in the chilly festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for just $2. By completing the tasks, you'll not only encounter Vanillite with a unique Might and Mastery-themed special background but also enjoy extra Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more.

Additionally, a Timed Research opportunity extends through the following week, offering another chance to catch Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. The event also features Field Research tasks themed around Vanillite, providing opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and additional encounters with Vanillite. Some tasks may even lead to a Vanillite with the special event background.

Throughout the event, several bonuses will be active to enhance your gameplay. You'll earn triple XP for catches, double Candy for each Pokémon caught, and Trainers level 31 and above will have double the odds of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and there will be discounts on trading, making it the perfect time to bolster your Pokémon Go experience.
