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
On January 25th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (local time), trainers will have heightened chances of encountering Ralts, including its shiny form.
A special research story focused on Ralts is available for $2 USD. Completing this research yields 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 event, this research lasts a week.
Event Bonuses:
- 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 is available at the Pokémon GO Web Store starting January 21st, 2025, at 10:00 AM (local time).
Two in-game bundles are also 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 hosts a monthly Community Day Classic featuring a different Pokémon. November 2024 featured Mankey. These events increase encounter rates for the featured Pokémon (including shiny variants) and offer an exclusive move for its evolution. Bonus features, such as reduced egg hatching distances, are also included. December's event is a two-day special with multiple Pokémon.
