Pokemon GO Community Day Classic for January 2025 Announced

Niantic has announced Ralts as the star Pokémon for January 2025's Community Day Classic! This guide details the event, bonuses, and in-game purchase options.

January's Community Day Classic: Ralts Spotlight

On January 25th, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (local time), trainers will have boosted encounters with 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:

• ¼ Egg Hatch Distance
• 3-hour Lure Modules and Incense
• 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 on the Pokémon GO Web Store from January 21st, 2025, at 10:00 AM (local time).

Two Community Day bundles are also available 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

Pokémon GO's Recurring Monthly Event

Niantic hosts a Community Day Classic each month, featuring a different Pokémon (November 2024 featured Mankey). These events offer increased encounter rates for the featured Pokémon (including shiny variants) and an exclusive move for its evolution. Bonuses typically include reduced egg hatch distances and other benefits. December's event is a special two-day event with multiple Pokémon.
