Best tips and tricks for Vanillite Community Day in Pokemon GO

Do the following to make the most out of the April Community Day event in 2025:

Play with friends and move around

Having more people in an area attracts additional spawns. Walking around also gives you more chances to encounter the creature, boosting the chances of finding its shiny variant.

Mega Evolve an Ice-type

The options are Mega Abomasnow and Mega Glalie. The higher their Mega Level, the better!

Crack open a Lucky Egg (or two)

Boost the event's 3x Catch XP to 4.5x using this item. Use it in coordination with Origin Dialga's Roar of Time to get max value.

Try to get the exclusive background and exclusive move

The Might and Mastery background is a nice collectible. Well, so is Vanilluxe with Avalanche in Pokemon GO — at least as far as PvP and PvE viability is concerned.
