Pokémon Go Rings in 2025 with a Festive 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 precedes the Fidough Fetch event and the highly anticipated Sprigatito Community Day. Kicking off the new year is the Eggs-pedition Access, a month-long paid event running from January 1st to 31st for $4.99. This offers numerous benefits to enhance your Pokémon catching experience. The in-game gifting system is also receiving a significant upgrade, increasing the number of Gifts you can hold, send, and receive daily.
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 this year's event doesn't introduce new Pokémon, Shiny variations, or costumes, 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 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and celebratory fireworks. Raids will feature a snowflake-hatted Pikachu (Tier One), and party-hat-wearing Raticate and Wobbuffet (Tier Three), also with increased Shiny chances. Themed Pokémon encounters will also be available through Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
