Since nearly the beginning of Pokemon GO’s inception, Niantic has been hosting Community Days religiously. The way this event works is that it features a selected Pokemon, making the Pokemon more likely to be found by trainers and also increasing its chances of being shiny by a great margin. Let us understand more about this event and the featured Pokemon in this article.

This Community Day for April 2025 will take place on April 27, 2025. To be exact, it will run from 2 PM to 5 PM local time. During these three specific hours, you will see an increased number of Vanillite spawning, so much so that it might be the only Pokemon you spot at all.

Shiny Pokemon are generally rare, which makes them highly sought after. They also make great collectibles due to their rarity and help players stand out. During this event, you will be able to find a large number of shiny Vanillite in the wild.

Until May 4, 2025, at 10:00 PM local time, the featured attack available for April’s Community Day will be the Charged Attack Avalanche. The featured attack is a move that you can teach your Pokemon. However, there is a condition: your Pokemon must have evolved to its final form before it can learn the featured attack. The in-game stats for Avalanche are:

  1. Trainer Battles – 90 Power
  2. Gym and Raids – 85 Power

For this event, you will specifically need to evolve your Vanillish into its third phase, Vanilluxe, after which Avalanche can be taught. You can evolve Vanillite using Vanillite Candy. These candies can be obtained by catching Vanillite or by transferring or hatching them. Since Vanillite will be very common in the wild during those hours, this task shouldn’t be difficult. You will need the following number of candies to evolve Vanillite:

  1. Vanillite to Vanillish – 25 Vanillite Candy
  2. Vanillish to Vanilluxe – 100 Vanillite Candy
