Pokémon GO Announces January Community Day Classic
Catch and Evolve Ralts, the "Feeling Pokémon"
Get ready, Trainers! On January 25th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (local time), Ralts will be taking over Pokémon GO's Community Day Classic. Expect boosted Ralts encounters, including a higher chance of finding its Shiny variant.
For $2 USD, snag access to Ralts' exclusive Community Day Special Research. Complete it to earn a Premium Battle Pass, a Rare Candy XL, and three Ralts encounters featuring Dual Destiny-themed Special Backgrounds.
Evolve your Ralts into Kirlia during the event (or within the five-hour post-event window) to get a Gardevoir or Gallade with the powerful Charged Attack "Synchronoise" (80 power in Trainer, Gym, and Raid battles).
Timed Research will also be available, rewarding you with 4 Sinnoh Stones and a Ralts encounter with a Dual Destiny-themed Special Background. Unlike the main Community Day event, this research will stay active for a week after the event concludes.
Plus, enjoy these awesome event bonuses:
- ¼ Hatch Distance for Eggs
- 3-hour Lure Modules and Incense
- A surprise awaits when you snap some photos!
Looking for a head start? An Ultra Community Day Box ($4.99 USD) containing 10 Ultra Balls, 1 Elite Charged TM, and a Special Research ticket will be available in the Pokémon GO Web Store starting January 21st, 2025, at 10:00 AM (local time).
Don't forget the in-game shop bundles! Choose from:
- 1,350 PokéCoins: 50 Ultra Balls, 5 Super Incubators, 1 Elite Charged TM, 5 Lucky Eggs
- 480 PokéCoins: 30 Ultra Balls, 1 Incense, 3 Super Incubators, 1 Lure Module
Pokémon GO's Worldwide Monthly Event
Niantic hosts a Community Day Classic every month, featuring a different Pokémon. November 2024 featured Mankey, offering increased encounter rates for the featured Pokémon (and its Shiny form). Evolving the featured Pokémon during the event unlocks an exclusive move, and you'll also enjoy various bonuses like reduced egg hatch distances and more.
December's Community Day Classic will be extra special, featuring multiple Pokémon with boosted encounter rates and Shiny possibilities. This event spans two days, each highlighting different Pokémon. Expect similar bonuses to previous months!
