Pokémon Go Rings in 2025 with a New Year's Event and More!

As 2024 concludes, Niantic is celebrating the arrival of 2025 in Pokémon Go with a special New Year's event, followed by the Fidough Fetch event and the highly anticipated Sprigatito Community Day. Kicking off the year is the Eggs-pedition Access, running throughout January as part of the Dual Destiny season. Available for $4.99, this pass unlocks numerous benefits to enhance your Pokémon catching adventures until January 31st, including increased Gift storage and daily limits.

New Year's 2025 Event Details:

The Pokémon Go New Year's 2025 event runs from December 30th, 2024, at 10:00 am to January 1st, 2025, at 8:00 pm. While no new Pokémon, Shiny variations, or costumes are introduced, there's still plenty of festive fun.

Expect increased wild spawns of Jigglypuff (with a ribbon), Hoothoot (in a New Year's outfit), and Wurmple (in a party hat), all with boosted Shiny rates. Event bonuses include 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and celebratory fireworks.

Raids feature a snowflake-hat-wearing Pikachu (Tier One), and party-hat-adorned Raticate and Wobbuffet (Tier Three), also with increased Shiny odds. Themed Pokémon will also appear in Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
