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 (January 1st - 31st) for $4.99. This unlocks numerous benefits to enhance your Pokémon catching adventures. The in-game gifting system also receives a significant boost, allowing you to store up to 40 Gifts, open 50 daily, and collect 150 from spinning Photo Discs. Get a sneak peek below!
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 aren't any new Pokémon, Shiny variations, or costumes this year, there's still plenty of festive fun to be had.
Expect to find wild Jigglypuff with ribbons, Hoothoot in New Year's attire, and Wurmple sporting party hats – all with Shiny possibilities. Event bonuses include 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and celebratory fireworks.
Raids offer more festive encounters: Pikachu in a snowflake beanie (Tier One raids), and Raticate and Wobbuffet in party hats (Tier Three raids), both with increased Shiny rates. Keep an eye out for themed Pokémon in Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
