Unleash Your Ralts Potential: Expert Guide to Pokémon Go Community Day

Ralts Community Day Classic: How to Catch Shiny Ralts and More

This Saturday, January 25, Pokémon Go is hosting a Ralts Community Day Classic, and we’re excited to dive into the details. From increased spawn rates to exclusive bonuses, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know.

How to Catch Shiny Ralts

As with any Community Day event, Ralts will spawn in massive numbers, with a high chance of appearing shiny. According to research by The Silph Road, the shiny rate on Community Days is about 1 in 24, so keep playing throughout the three-hour window and you should find plenty of shiny Pokémon.

What Community Day Move Does Ralts’ Evolution Learn?

If you evolve Kirlia into Gardevoir or Gallade during the Community Day period (which ends on February 1 at 10 p.m. in your local time), it will learn the charged move Synchronoise. If you miss the window, you can use an Elite TM to get the move.

Gardevoir and Gallade in the Meta

Both Gardevoir and Gallade can Mega Evolve and both of their megas are top-tier, so it’s worth grabbing strong ones, even if you don’t have the Mega Energy on hand. Mega Gardevoir is the top fairy-type attacker when set up with Charm and Dazzling Gleam, while Mega Gallade is the top psychic-type attacker when set up with Confusion and Psychic.

Making the Most of Ralts Community Day

To make the most of the event, make sure to:

• Put your eggs in Incubators and take advantage of the 1/4 hatch distance bonus
