Get ready for the Pokémon Go Holiday festivities! Niantic's Holiday Part One event is arriving soon, bringing a flurry of seasonal fun from December 17th to 22nd. This event features boosted rewards, special Pokémon encounters, and exciting challenges.
Double XP for catching Pokémon and halved egg hatching distances await. A new costumed Dedenne (with a shiny variant!) makes its debut, alongside the first-ever appearance of Shiny Sandygast.
Expect to find Alolan Sandshrew, Swinub, and Darumaka in the wild. Raids offer a festive lineup, including Winter Carnival Pikachu and holiday Psyduck in one-star raids; Glaceon (Undersea Holiday outfit) and Cryogonal in three-star raids; and Mega Latias and Mega Latios in Mega Raids.
Seven-kilometer Eggs hold the possibility of hatching Hisuian Growlithe or a ribbon-adorned Cubchoo. Participate in event-themed Field Research and a paid Timed Research ($2.00) for chances at themed Pokémon, Premium Battle Passes, and more.
Collection Challenges return, rewarding Stardust, Poké Balls, and Great Balls for catching and raiding. Show off your festive Pokémon in PokéStop Showcases. Don't forget to redeem available Pokémon Go codes for free items!
The Pokémon Go Web Store offers limited-time deals: an Ultra Holiday Box ($4.99) with storage upgrades and Rare Candies; and a Holiday Part 1 Ultra Ticket Box ($6.99) including event access and a Premium Battle Pass. Stock up on supplies before the event ends!
