Karrablast, Shelmet Featured in Pokémon Go February Community Day

The excitement is building as Pokémon Go gears up for the February Community Day, set to take place on February 9th, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. This event is spotlighting not one, but two Pokémon, making it a must-attend for all Trainers.

Who Are the New Pokémon in the Pokémon Go February Community Day?

Karrablast and Shelmet are the stars of this Community Day. These Pokémon will be appearing more frequently in the wild, giving you ample opportunities to catch them. Keep an eye out for their Shiny versions, which might just make an appearance during your hunt.

The highlight of evolving these Pokémon during the event is truly special. Evolving Karrablast into Escavalier during the event or up until February 16th at 10:00 p.m. local time will grant you an Escavalier that knows the Charged Attack Razor Shell. This move boasts 35 power in Trainer Battles and an impressive 55 power in Gyms and Raids. On the other hand, evolving Shelmet into Accelgor within the same timeframe will equip it with the Charged Attack Energy Ball, delivering a solid 90 power in both Trainer Battles and Gyms/Raids.

Engage in the Special Research to encounter Karrablast and Shelmet with exclusive Dual Destiny-themed backgrounds. You'll also receive a Premium Battle Pass and a Rare Candy XL as part of your rewards.

Don't miss out on the Timed Research event, which extends a week after the main event. By logging in during Community Day, you'll unlock tasks that reward you with more encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet, featuring the special backgrounds.

Don’t Forget the Bonuses

The February Community Day in Pokémon Go is 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 receive Candy XL from catches. Lure Modules and Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) will last for three hours, and there's a delightful surprise awaiting you if you take some photos during the event. Make sure to download Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store to join in on the fun.
