Niantic's official website also provided essential information about Sealeo's Icicle Spear attack. However, the game developer did not provide the details of Fast Attack Powder Snow:
Icicle Spear (low-energy Charged Attack)
- Offers 60 damage during battles in gyms, fight against other trainers, as well as raids.
Meanwhile, the January 2022 Community Day also offers some event bonuses. These include the following:
- Allows players to take snapshots during the event.
- Lure Modules activated during the event will last for three hours.
- Incense activated during the event will last for three hours.
Catching Shiny Spheal
All the mentioned in-game content above is quite interesting. However, the most exciting one will still be capturing a Shiny Spheal.
If you want to catch this pocket-monster, all you need to do is participate in the new Community Day event. Niantic confirmed that the Shiny version of the Clap pokemon will now appear more frequently in the game.
But, the best location to look for this character is Silph Road. In this area, there's a 1-out-of-500 chance of capturing the Shiny version of Spheal. Meanwhile, the normal version of this pocket-monster will be 1 in 25 chances.
In other news, iOS players recently had the chance to participate in the "Pokemon GO" Shinx Community Day. On the other hand, the "Pokemon GO" World Championship Series already happened back in December 2021.
