Pokémon GO players, get ready for another thrilling Community Day event! Niantic has officially unveiled the plans for the February 2025 Community Day, and it’s shaping up to be an exciting time for trainers. This month, Karrablast and Shelmet will be the featured Pokémon, giving players a chance to catch these two beloved creatures with the added potential of encountering their shiny variants.
The event will take place on Sunday, February 9, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, giving players a three-hour window to enjoy increased spawns of Karrablast and Shelmet. The shiny rates for these Pokémon will be boosted, making this an ideal time to catch them in their shiny forms. Evolving either of them before February 16, 2025, at 10:00 p.m. local time will grant you a special version of their evolutions with exclusive Charged Attacks:
Escavalier (from Karrablast) will learn Razor Shell.

But that's not all.
