February 2025 Pokémon Go Community Day: Karrablast and Shelmet Featured

Get ready for an exciting February Pokémon Go Community Day, where Karrablast and Shelmet will take center stage. Mark your calendars for Sunday, February 9th, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm local time, as these Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled for their elusive Shiny forms, and don't miss out on the standard event bonuses and additional research tasks that await you.

During the event, catching enough Karrablast and Shelmet will allow you to evolve them into Escavalier and Accelgor, respectively, and they'll learn exclusive charged attacks. Escavalier will master Razor Shell, delivering 35 power in Trainer Battles and 55 in gyms and raids, while Accelgor will harness Energy Ball, boasting 90 power across all battle formats.

Enhance your experience by purchasing the Community Day Special Research ticket for $2 or your local equivalent. This ticket unlocks a Dual Destiny-themed Special Background and offers encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet, along with additional encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, and Rare Candy XL.

Don't forget to log in during the event to access the free Timed Research quest, which provides another opportunity to encounter these themed Pokémon and increases your chances of finding their Shiny versions. And while you're at it, why not redeem some *Pokémon Go codes* for extra freebies?

Throughout the three-hour event window, you'll enjoy triple XP and double Candy for catching Pokémon, with an enhanced chance for Trainers level 31 and up to earn Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and trading will be more rewarding with one additional Special Trade and a 50% reduction in Stardust costs.

Engage with Community Day-themed Field Research for rewards like Stardust, Great Balls, and more encounters. You might also stumble upon PokéStop Showcases, offering another way to participate in the festivities.

To prepare, take advantage of the two Community Day bundles available in the in-game shop, and don't miss the Ultra Community Day Box on the Pokémon Go Web Store, available starting February 3rd.
