Classic Pokémon Returns for January Community Day

This January 25th, from 2 pm to 5 pm local time, Pokémon GO's Community Day Classic features Ralts! Trainers can catch this Gen 3 Psychic-type Pokémon, potentially finding a Shiny Ralts.

Evolving Kirlia (Ralts' evolution) during the event, or within five hours afterward, yields a Gardevoir or Gallade knowing the powerful Charged Attack, Synchronoise (80 damage).

This Community Day Classic offers numerous bonuses:

• Increased Ralts Spawns: Expect a higher-than-usual encounter rate with Ralts in the wild.
• Synchronoise Attack: Evolve your Kirlia for a Gardevoir or Gallade with this exclusive move.
• Event Bonuses: Lure Modules and Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) last three hours each. Egg hatching distance is reduced by 75%.
• Bonus Snapshot: Take snapshots during the event for a surprise!

Beyond the increased spawns and special move, the event includes:

• Special Research ($2): Rewards include a Premium Battle Pass, a Rare Candy XL, and three Ralts encounters with seasonal backgrounds.
• Timed Research: Rewards include four Sinnoh Stones and a Ralts encounter.
• Continued Timed Research: Offers additional Ralts encounters with special backgrounds.
• Field Research: Provides Stardust and Great Balls.
• New Showcases & Offers: Expect new in-game showcases and offers, including an Ultra Community Day Box ($4.99) and two PokeCoin bundles (1350 and 480).

Ralts, introduced in 2017 with the Hoenn region, previously appeared in a Community Day in August 2019. This Community Day Classic is one of several January events planned, including the return of Shadow Ho-Oh and the anticipated Lunar New Year event.
