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

Pokémon Go Rings in 2025 with a New Year's Event and Exciting Season Updates!

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 month-long paid event running from January 1st to 31st for $4.99. This offers numerous benefits to enhance your Pokémon catching experience. The in-game gifting system is also getting a significant boost, allowing you to store up to 40 Gifts, open 50 daily, and collect 150 from PokéStops.

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

The New Year's 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.

Expect to encounter wild Jigglypuff with ribbons, Hoothoot in New Year's attire, and Wurmple sporting party hats – all with a chance of being Shiny. Event bonuses include 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and celebratory fireworks. Raids will feature a snowflake-wearing Pikachu (Tier One), and party-hat-adorned Raticate and Wobbuffet (Tier Three), with increased Shiny rates. Themed Pokémon will also appear in Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
