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. This event kicks off a busy start to the year, paving the way for the Fidough Fetch event and the highly anticipated Sprigatito Community Day.
Adding to the excitement, the Eggs-pedition Access is launching January 1st and running throughout the entire month as part of the Dual Destiny season. For $4.99, this pass unlocks numerous benefits to enhance your Pokémon catching adventures 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. Check out the event details below!
What's in Store for the Pokémon Go New Year's 2025 Event?
The New Year's 2025 event runs from December 30th, 2024, at 10:00 am to January 1st, 2025, at 8:00 pm. While there aren't any new Pokémon, Shiny variants, or costumes this time around, 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 a boosted Shiny rate. Event bonuses include 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and celebratory fireworks.
Raids will feature Pikachu (sporting a snowflake beanie) in Tier One raids, and Raticate and Wobbuffet (both in party hats) in Tier Three raids, with increased Shiny odds. Themed Pokémon encounters will also be available through Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
