Pokémon GO's New Year's Celebration: Festive Pokémon and Exciting Rewards!
Get ready to ring in 2025 with Pokémon GO's annual New Year's event! Running from December 30th to January 1st, 2025, this festive celebration offers themed bonuses, special Pokémon encounters, and plenty of ways to start the new year with a bang. Following the December 21st-22nd Community Day event featuring returning Community Day Pokémon, this New Year's event offers a fresh wave of fun.
One of the event's highlights? Snag an impressive 2,025 XP for every Pokémon caught with an Excellent Throw! Enjoy the immersive atmosphere with festive decorations and celebratory fireworks illuminating the skies.
Expect increased appearances of special Pokémon in the wild, including a ribbon-adorned Jigglypuff, a New Year's-attired Hoothoot, and a party-hat-wearing Wurmple. Keep your eyes peeled for their Shiny variations!
Raids also get a festive makeover. One-star raids feature a snowflake-capped Pikachu, while three-star raids bring party-hat-wearing Raticate and Wobbuffet. Shiny rates are boosted for all three!
Complete Field Research and Timed Research tasks for extra encounters. A $2 Paid Timed Research offers exclusive rewards: three Premium Battle Passes, three Lucky Eggs, 2,025 Stardust, and encounters with event Pokémon.
The Ultra Holiday Box ($4.99) remains available in the Pokémon GO Web Store, offering a Pokémon Storage upgrade, an Item Bag upgrade, and 17 Rare Candies. Don't forget to redeem those Pokémon Go codes for extra freebies!
