• Community Day Special Research Storyline: A $2 Timed Research will be available in the shop. Here is what Niantic has to say about this questline:
  • "For US$2.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency), you'll be able to access the Karrablast and Shelmet Community Day–exclusive Special Research. Complete this research for even more rewards, including two encounters each with Karrablast and Shelmet with Dual Destiny–themed Special Backgrounds, additional encounters with Karrablast and Shelmet, a Premium Battle Pass, and a Rare Candy XL. Stay tuned for when tickets for the Special Research go live. Don't forget: you're now able to purchase and gift tickets to any of your friends with whom you've achieved a Friendship level of Great Friends or higher. To gift a ticket, tap the Special Research ticket in the in-game shop, then tap the Gift button instead of the Buy button. Tickets are nonrefundable (subject to applicable law and the exceptions set forth in the Terms of Service). Please note that this Special Research will not include an in-game medal and will not feature a story."
• Community Day Background Timed Research: Niantic writes:
  • "Keep Community Day going with a new Timed Research that will last for a week following the event! Trainers that log in during February Community Day will receive Timed Research, awarding one encounter each with Karrablast and Shelmet that have a Dual Destiny–themed Special Background. You'll even have an increased chance to encounter Shiny Karrablast and Shiny Shelmet when you complete these Timed Research tasks! Don't forget, Trainers; you can evolve Karrablast or Shelmet during the week following the event to get an Escavalier or an Accelgor that knows the Charged Attacks Razor Shell or Energy Ball, respectively! Please note that Timed Research expires. The tasks associated with this Timed Research must be completed, and their rewards must be claimed before Sunday, February 16, 2025, at 10:00 p.m. local time."
