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, the Eggs-pedition Access event runs throughout January (January 1st - 31st). For $4.99, this unlocks numerous benefits to enhance your Pokémon-catching journey. This also includes a significant upgrade to the Gift system, allowing you to store up to 40 Gifts, open 50 daily, and collect 150 from Photo Discs.
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 there aren't any new Pokémon, Shiny variants, or costumes introduced this year, 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 will feature a snowflake-wearing Pikachu (Tier One), and party hat-adorned Raticate and Wobbuffet (Tier Three), also with increased Shiny chances. Themed Pokémon encounters will also be available through Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
