Pokémon Go Is Celebrating New Year’s 2025 with Festive Fireworks and More!

As 2024 draws to a close, Niantic is ringing in 2025 with a celebratory Pokémon Go event! Kicking off the new year is the New Year's 2025 event, followed by the Fidough Fetch event and the highly anticipated Sprigatito Community Day.

Following these exciting events, the Eggs-pedition Access arrives in January as part of the Dual Destiny season. Running from January 1st to 31st, this $4.99 offering unlocks a wealth of benefits to enhance your Pokémon journey. This includes a significant upgrade to your gifting capabilities: increase your Gift storage to 40, open up to 50 Gifts daily, and collect 150 from Photo Discs. Get a sneak peek at the event below!

What's in Store for the New Year's 2025 Pokémon Go Event?

The New Year's 2025 Pokémon Go 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 variants, or costumes this year, there's still plenty of festive fun to be had.

Expect to encounter wild Jigglypuff with a ribbon, Hoothoot in a New Year's outfit, and Wurmple sporting a party hat—all with a chance to be Shiny. Event bonuses include a generous 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and celebratory fireworks adding extra sparkle to your gameplay.

Tier One raids feature a Pikachu wearing a snowflake beanie, while Tier Three raids bring party-hat-wearing Raticate and Wobbuffet, both with increased Shiny rates. Keep an eye out for themed Pokémon encounters in Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
