Pokémon GO's New Year's Celebration: Get Ready for Festive Fun!
Pokémon GO is celebrating the New Year with its annual holiday event, running from December 30th to January 1st, 2025! Expect themed bonuses, special Pokémon encounters, and plenty of ways to ring in the new year in style. This follows the Community Day event (December 21st-22nd) featuring returning Community Day Pokémon.
This year's festivities include a boosted XP reward – catch Pokémon with Excellent Throws for a whopping 2,025 XP each! Enjoy festive fireworks and New Year's decorations enhancing your gameplay experience.
Expect increased appearances of special Pokémon: Jigglypuff (with a ribbon), Hoothoot (in a New Year's outfit), and Wurmple (sporting a party hat) will be more common, with a chance to encounter their Shiny forms.
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. Shiny rates are increased for all three.
Complete Field Research and Timed Research tasks for extra encounters. A paid Timed Research ($2) offers exclusive rewards, including three Premium Battle Passes, three Lucky Eggs, 2,025 Stardust, and event Pokémon encounters.
The Ultra Holiday Box ($4.99) remains available in the Pokémon GO Web Store, containing a Pokémon Storage upgrade, an Item Bag upgrade, and 17 Rare Candies. Don't forget to redeem available Pokémon Go codes for extra freebies!
