Pokémon GO's New Year's Celebration: Festive Pokémon and Exciting Rewards!
Get ready to celebrate the New Year in Pokémon GO! The annual festive event returns, running from December 30th to January 1st, 2025. This exciting event features themed bonuses, special Pokémon encounters, and plenty of ways to ring in the new year in style. Following the December 21st-22nd Community Day event, featuring returning Community Day Pokémon, this New Year's event promises even more fun.
One of the event highlights is the chance to earn a whopping 2,025 XP for every Pokémon caught with an Excellent Throw! Immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere with New Year's decorations and celebratory fireworks illuminating the skies.
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 getting a festive makeover too! One-star raids feature a snowflake-hat-wearing Pikachu, while three-star raids bring party-hat-adorned Raticate and Wobbuffet. Shiny rates are boosted for all three!
Complete Field Research and Timed Research tasks for even more Pokémon encounters. 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 extra free goodies!
