Pokémon GO Announces Community Day Classic for January

Catch and Evolve Ralts, the “Feeling Pokémon”

On January 7, 2025, Pokémon GO announced that Ralts will be the star of the January Community Day Classic. Mark your calendars for January 25, 2025, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm (local time), when you'll have a golden opportunity to encounter Ralts and its elusive shiny variant more frequently.

For just $2 USD, you can unlock Ralts' Community Day-exclusive special research. Completing this research will reward you with a Premium Battle Pass, a Rare Candy XL, and three encounters with Ralts, each sporting a unique Dual Destiny-themed Special Background.

Evolving Ralts into Kirlia during the event or within the five-hour window following it will grant you a Gardevoir or Gallade equipped with the powerful Charged Attack "Synchronoise," boasting 80 power in Trainer, Gym, and Raid battles.

Additionally, you can tackle Timed Research to earn 4 Sinnoh Stones and an encounter with a Ralts featuring a Dual Destiny-themed Special Background. This research remains accessible for a week after the event, unlike the Community Day Classic itself.

During the event, you'll enjoy several Event Bonuses, including:

⚫︎ ¼ Hatch Distance for Eggs
⚫︎ Lure Modules and Incense that last for three hours
⚫︎ A surprise when you take a few snapshots!

An Ultra Community Day Box will be available for $4.99 USD, packed with 10 Ultra Balls, 1 Elite Charged TM, and one Special Research ticket. This exclusive offer will be up for grabs at the Pokémon GO Web Store starting January 21, 2025, at 10:00 am (local time).

You can also use your PokeCoins to snag two Community Day bundles from the in-game shop. Here's what they include:

⚫︎ 1,350 PokeCoins - 50 Ultra Balls, 5 Super Incubators, 1 Elite Charged TM, 5 Lucky Eggs
⚫︎ 480 PokeCoins - 30 Ultra Balls, 1 Incense, 3 Super Incubators, 1 Lure Module

Pokémon GO’s Worldwide Monthly Event

Every month, Niantic brings the community together with a Community Day Classic event, spotlighting a different Pokémon. For example, November 2024 will feature Mankey. During these events, players have a heightened chance to encounter the featured Pokémon, including its shiny variant.

Evolving the featured Pokémon during the event bestows it with an exclusive move that can give you an edge in battles. You'll also benefit from various bonuses, such as reduced egg hatch distances, increased XP gains, and more.

The December Community Day event is a grand affair, showcasing multiple Pokémon with increased encounter rates and a higher chance of encountering Shiny versions. Spanning two days, each day will spotlight a different set of Pokémon. Alongside the usual perks and bonuses, this special event promises an unforgettable experience for all Pokémon GO trainers.
