Pokémon GO's New Year's Celebration: A Festive Extravaganza!
Get ready to celebrate the New Year in Pokémon GO! From December 30th to January 1st, 2025, a special New Year's event brings themed bonuses, exciting Pokémon encounters, and plenty of ways to ring in 2025. This follows the Community Day event (December 21st-22nd) featuring returning Community Day Pokémon.
This New Year's event offers a fantastic opportunity to earn 2,025 XP for each Pokémon caught with an Excellent Throw. Enjoy the festive atmosphere with New Year's decorations and fireworks illuminating the skies.
Expect increased appearances of festively-dressed Pokémon! Keep an eye out for Jigglypuff with a ribbon, Hoothoot in a New Year's outfit, and Wurmple sporting a party hat – and their Shiny variants!
Raids are also getting a celebratory makeover. One-star raids feature a snowflake-hatted 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 event Pokémon encounters.
