Get ready to ring in 2025 with Pokémon GO's annual New Year's event, running from December 30th, 2024 to January 1st, 2025! This exciting event features themed bonuses, special Pokémon encounters, and a plethora of ways to celebrate the new year in style. Following the Community Day event (December 21st-22nd), this festive celebration offers a fantastic continuation of Pokémon fun.
This year's event boasts some exciting rewards, including a whopping 2,025 XP for each Pokémon caught with an Excellent Throw! Immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere with New Year's decorations and dazzling fireworks lighting up the sky.
Expect increased encounters with special, festively-dressed Pokémon! Keep an eye out for Jigglypuff with a ribbon, Hoothoot in a New Year's outfit, and Wurmple sporting a party hat. Shiny versions of these Pokémon may also appear!
Raids are also getting a festive makeover! One-star raids feature a snowflake-hat-wearing Pikachu, while three-star raids bring party-hat-adorned Raticate and Wobbuffet. All three have boosted Shiny rates during the event.
Complete Field Research and Timed Research tasks for extra encounters and rewards. A $2 Paid Timed Research offers exclusive rewards, including three Premium Battle Passes, three Lucky Eggs, 2,025 Stardust, and encounters with event Pokémon.
Don't forget the Ultra Holiday Box, available in the Pokémon GO Web Store for $4.99, containing a Pokémon Storage upgrade, an Item Bag upgrade, and 17 Rare Candies. And remember to redeem those Pokémon Go codes for some free goodies!
