Photobomb

Take a few snapshots during Community Day for a surprise! During the event you can snap an AR Photo and get photobombed by Vulpix or Alolan Vulpix.


Lure Module Bonus

From 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. local time, Vulpix and Alolan Vulpix will have a very high chance of appearing at PokéStops with active regular Lure Modules. Vulpix and Alolan Vulpix 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!

Spawns

Vulpix and Alolan Vulpix will appear more frequently in the wild.

Vulpix and Alolan Vulpix in the wild may also have a Special Background.
