Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, often releasing them gradually through events rather than large-scale updates. This approach applies to evolution lines, regional variants, and shiny forms. Events centered around specific Pokémon provide opportunities for acquisition and offer bonus rewards.

The Dual Destiny season's Fidough Fetch event marked the debut of the Paldean dog Pokémon, Fidough, and its evolution, Dachsbun. This guide details how to obtain them.

How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO

Fidough and Dachsbun were introduced during the Fidough Fetch event (January 4th-8th, 2025). Fidough appeared as a wild spawn, offering a chance for encounters. Additionally, it was obtainable through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.

Trading with other Trainers is another option. Online Pokémon GO communities (Reddit, Discord, etc.) are helpful resources for finding trading partners.

Since Dachsbun doesn't appear in the wild, players must either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Consider comparing Fidough stats before evolving, as Dachsbun is a valuable Pokémon for battles and future events.

Currently (as of the Dual Destiny season), shiny Fidough and Dachsbun are unavailable. However, future events may introduce shiny variants, as is common practice in Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will need to await further announcements.
