Vanillite Pokémon GO Community Day: Tips, tricks & 100% IV

The next Pokémon GO Community Day will feature Vanillite. This will provide Pokémon GO Trainers a chance to grab a Shiny Vanillite , and get a Vanilluxe with exclusive move, Avalanche.

Vanillite Community Day takes place Saturday, April 27 from 2 p.m until 5 p.m local time.

Vanillite Community Day might get a very mixed reaction from Pokémon GO Trainers. Vanillite isn't one of the most useful Pokémon, and is a bit of a love it or hate it Pokémon. However, we are at least getting a solid bonus for this Community Day, with a huge 3x XP on offer. So, this is a great chance to meet up with your friends and play some Pokémon GO.

The following bonuses will be in effect for trainers during Vanillite Community Day in Pokémon GO.

_{*These bonuses are active until 10pm local time.}

There will also be a revamped $2 Research Ticket and special item-bundles in the Pokémon GO Store.

During the event times, Vanillite will be appearing much more frequently in the wild. You'll also have a increased chance of catching a Shiny Vanillite.

There will also be a featured move for evolving Vanillite. Any Vanillish evolved into Vanilluxe during Vanillite Pokémon GO Community Day will learn Avalanche, an Ice-type move. If you have any Vanilluxe already, the only way they can learn this move is through an Elite TM.

Here is the regular and shiny versions of the family of Pokémon featured this Community Day.

The odds of encountering a Shiny Vanillite is about 1 in 25 during this Vanillite Pokémon GO Community Day.

The following table shows the highest CP a Vanillite can be at every level. In the wild, Vanillite can be Level 1 to Level 30, and if it is Snowy weather, Level 6 to Level 35. A Vanillite at the maximum CP value would be a 100% IV Pokémon.

Here are the CP values that will show you have a 100% IV Vanillite.

From Research Tasks/Field Research tasks, including the $2 Ticket, the Vanillite 100% IV is 443 CP.

Vanillite Community Day will add an attack for Vanilluxe, Avalanche. This move will give Vanilluxe some more bite in Raids, but won't make a difference to PvP.

This Vanillite Pokémon GO Community Day is primarily a great chance to get a Shiny of a new Pokémon if you don't have it already.

You will want to have a single focus during this event. Catch, catch and catch. You can get a huge amount of Stardust from this event thanks to the 3x XP bonus, and of course the more Pokémon you encounter the more shiny Vanillite you will encounter too.

There is no Stardust bonus for this event, instead focused on XP. However, one thing you can do to make even more XP gains is to you have a Pokémon at Mega Level 3 that will boost candy and XP from catching Vanillite.
