Niantic has revealed Ralts as the star Pokémon for January's Community Day Classic. This guide details the event, including bonuses and in-app purchases.
January's Community Day Classic: Ralts in the Spotlight
On January 25th, 2025, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm (local time), trainers will have boosted encounter rates for Ralts, including its shiny form.
A special research story focused on Ralts is available for $2 USD. Completing it rewards a Premium Battle Pass, a Rare Candy XL, and three Ralts encounters with Dual Destiny-themed backgrounds.
Evolving Ralts into Kirlia during the event (or within five hours afterward) unlocks Gardevoir or Gallade with the powerful Charged Attack "Synchronoise" (80 power in Trainer Battles, Gyms, and Raids).
Timed Research offers 4 Sinnoh Stones and a Ralts encounter with a Dual Destiny-themed background. Unlike the main Community Day, this research lasts a week post-event.
Event Bonuses include:
- ¼ Egg Hatch Distance
- 3-hour Lure Modules and Incense duration
- Snapshot surprises!
An Ultra Community Day Box ($4.99 USD) containing 10 Ultra Balls, 1 Elite Charged TM, and a Special Research ticket will be available on the Pokémon GO Web Store starting January 21st, 2025, at 10:00 am (local time).
Two in-game Community Day bundles will also be offered:
- 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 Recurring Monthly Event
Niantic's monthly Community Day Classic features a different Pokémon each month (e.g., Mankey in November 2024). These events offer increased encounter rates for the featured Pokémon (including shiny variants) and an exclusive move for its evolution. Bonus features like reduced egg hatch distances are also common. December's event is a two-day special featuring multiple Pokémon.
