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 is the Eggs-pedition Access, a paid event running throughout January. For $4.99, this unlocks numerous benefits to enhance your Pokémon catching adventures until January 31st, including increased Gift storage and daily limits.

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 there are no new Pokémon, Shiny variations, or costumes this time, there's still plenty of festive fun.

Expect increased wild spawns of special Pokémon including a ribbon-adorned Jigglypuff, a New Year's Hoothoot, and a party-hat-wearing Wurmple—all with boosted Shiny rates. Event bonuses include 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and celebratory fireworks. Raids will feature a snowflake-capped Pikachu (Tier One), and party-hat-wearing Raticate and Wobbuffet (Tier Three), also with increased Shiny odds. Themed Pokémon will also appear in Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
