Pokémon GO announces Ralts as the star of January's Community Day Classic! This event, on January 25th, offers a fantastic opportunity to catch Gardevoir's base form—a top-tier Psychic-type from Generation III.
Community Day, a beloved recurring event, celebrates Pokémon GO players and is always highly anticipated. Introduced in 2022, Community Day Classic revisits past Community Days, giving trainers a second chance at coveted Pokémon. Previous Community Day Classics in 2024 featured Porygon, Bagon, Cyndaquil, and Beldum in January, April, June, and August respectively.
Pokémon GO's January Community Day Classic features Ralts as the spotlight Pokémon. From 2 PM to 5 PM local time on January 25th, Ralts will appear more frequently in the wild, increasing your chances of finding a Shiny Ralts. Evolving Kirlia (Ralts' evolution) during the event, or within five hours afterward, yields a Gardevoir or Gallade knowing the devastating Synchronoise Charged Attack (80 damage in raids, Trainer Battles, and Gyms). Additional bonuses include extended Lure Module and Incense durations, and reduced egg hatching distances.
