Who Are the New Pokémon in the Pokémon Go February Community Day?

Karrablast and Shelmet are the stars of this event. Not only will they be more common during the Community Day, but evolving them during the event or up until February 16th at 10:00 p.m. local time will unlock some fantastic bonuses. Evolving Karrablast will reward you with an Escavalier that knows the Charged Attack Razor Shell, which boasts 35 power in Trainer Battles and 55 power in Gyms and Raids.
