January 2025's Pokémon GO Community Day Classic: Ralts Takes Center Stage!
Niantic has announced that Ralts will be the star of January's Community Day Classic! This guide details the event, including bonuses and in-game purchase options.
Catch and Evolve Ralts, the Psychic-Type Pokémon
Mark your calendars! On January 25th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (local time), Ralts will be appearing more frequently in the wild, along with its shiny form.
A special research story, available for $2 USD, offers rewards including a Premium Battle Pass, a Rare Candy XL, and three Ralts encounters with unique Dual Destiny-themed backgrounds.
Evolving your Ralts into Kirlia during the event (or within five hours afterward) will grant Gardevoir or Gallade the powerful Charged Attack, "Synchronoise" (80 power in Trainer Battles, Gyms, and Raids).
Timed Research will also be available, awarding 4 Sinnoh Stones and a Ralts encounter with a Dual Destiny-themed background. Unlike the main Community Day event, this research will last for a week.
Event Bonuses include:
- ¼ Egg Hatch Distance
- 3-hour Lure Modules and Incense duration
- Snapshot surprises!
An Ultra Community Day Box, priced at $4.99 USD, containing 10 Ultra Balls, 1 Elite Charged TM, and a Special Research ticket, will be available for purchase in the Pokémon GO Web Store starting January 21st, 2025, at 10:00 AM (local time).
Two Community Day bundles will also be offered in the in-game shop:
- 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
