Pokémon Go enthusiasts, get ready for an exciting February Community Day on February 9th, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. This event shines a spotlight on two Pokémon: Karrablast and Shelmet. You'll find these Pokémon appearing more frequently in the wild, offering you a prime opportunity to catch them, and maybe even snag their Shiny versions.

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

Karrablast and Shelmet are the stars of the show. Evolving Karrablast 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 a power of 35 in Trainer Battles and 55 in Gyms and Raids. Similarly, evolving Shelmet within the same time frame will give you an Accelgor equipped with the Charged Attack Energy Ball, which delivers a robust 90 power in both Trainer Battles and Gyms and Raids.

Participating in the Special Research will reward you with encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet, both featuring special Dual Destiny-themed backgrounds. You'll also receive a Premium Battle Pass and a Rare Candy XL. Additionally, a Timed Research event will run for a week following the main event. By logging in during the Community Day, you'll unlock tasks that lead to encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet, complete with those unique backgrounds.

Don’t Forget the Bonuses

The February Community Day in Pokémon Go 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, and there's a special surprise if you take some photos during the event. Make sure to download Pokémon GO from the Google Play Store to join in the fun.
