Frigibax Takes Center Stage For The Latest Pokémon GO Community Day

Featured Attack

Evolve Arctibax (Frigibax's Evolution) during the event or up to four hours afterwards to get a Baxcalibur that knows the Charged Attack Glaive Rush.

  • Trainer Battles: 90 power and decreases Defense by one stage
  • Gyms and raids: 105 power

Community Day Special Research

For US$1.99 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency), you'll be able to access the Frigibax Community Day–exclusive Special Research. Complete this research for even more rewards, including the following.

  • 3 encounters with Frigibax that have a Special Background
  • Additional encounters with Frigibax
  • 1 Premium Battle Pass
  • 1 Rare Candy XL

And even more goodies!

  • 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 that you've achieved a Friendship level of Great Friends or higher with.
  • 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. (Certain restrictions apply. Gifting cannot be completed if the recipient has purchased a Special Research ticket or has been gifted one already.)

Event Bonuses

  • 3× Stardust for catching Pokémon.
  • 2× Candy for catching Pokémon.
  • 2× chance for Trainers level 31 and up to receive Candy XL from catching Pokémon.
  • Incense (excluding Daily Adventure Incense) activated during the event will last for three hours.
  • Take a few snapshots during Community Day for a surprise!
  • Lure Modules will last for one hour and may attract the featured Pokémon.
  • One additional Special Trade can be made for a maximum of two per day.
  • Trades will require 50% less Stardust.

(While most bonuses are only active during the three-hour event period, these will be active from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time.)

Lure Module Bonus

From 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time, Frigibax will have a very high chance of appearing at PokéStops with active regular Lure Modules. Frigibax attracted to regular Lure Modules will still have an increased chance to be Shiny and may have a Special Background. That's more chances to encounter the featured Pokémon even after the event hours!

Field Research

June Community Day–themed Field Research will be available! Catch Frigibax to earn rewards such as Stardust, Ultra Balls, additional encounters with Frigibax, and more! You may even find Field Research that leads to encounters with Frigibax that have a Special Background—if you're lucky!

Pokémon GO Web Store – Community Day Ultra Box

The Community Day Ultra Box will be available for US$1.99 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency) and includes an event ticket and five Ultra Balls!
