Celebrate the New Year with Festive Fireworks in Pokémon Go!

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 new year is the Eggs-pedition Access, a paid event running throughout January as part of the Dual Destiny season. Available for $4.99, this unlocks numerous in-game benefits to enhance your Pokémon catching experience until January 31st. This includes a significant upgrade to the Gift system, allowing you to hold up to 40 Gifts, open 50 daily, and collect 150 from Photo Discs.

What's in Store for the Pokémon Go New Year's 2025 Event?

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

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 a generous 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and celebratory fireworks.

Raids will feature Pikachu sporting a snowflake beanie (Tier One), and Raticate and Wobbuffet in party hats (Tier Three), each with increased Shiny odds. Themed Pokémon will also appear in Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
