Double Trouble: Pokemon Go's Exciting February 2025 Lineup
Looking to spice up your Pokemon Go adventures this month? February's bringing some seriously cool events, and the highlight has to be a unique Community Day featuring not one, but two Pokemon. Yeah, you read that right - Shelmet and Karrablast are teaming up for a special double feature on February 9th.
Let's break down what's coming your way this month:
The Big One: Dual Community Day (February 9) If you've been waiting to add some powerful Bug-types to your collection, circle February 9th on your calendar. From 2-5 PM local time, both Shelmet and Karrablast will be popping up everywhere, with boosted shiny chances to boot. The best part? Evolve them before February 16th at 10 PM local time, and your Accelgor will learn Energy Ball while Escavalier picks up Razor Shell. Plus, you're getting triple XP and double candy for catches, and trades will cost half the usual Stardust. Not bad, right?
