What's in Store for the Pokémon Go New Year's 2025 Event?
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, it still offers 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 a generous 2,025 XP reward for Excellent Throws, and celebratory fireworks will add to the festive atmosphere.
Raids will feature Pikachu (sporting a snowflake beanie) in Tier One raids, and Raticate and Wobbuffet (both in party hats) in Tier Three raids, also with increased Shiny encounter chances. Themed Pokémon will also be available through Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
Join the New Year's celebration! Download Pokémon Go from the Google Play Store and prepare for the festivities.
