Pokémon Go Rings in 2025 with Festive Fireworks Extravaganza

Pokémon Go Rings in 2025 with a New Year's Event and More!

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. But that's not all!

Kicking off the new year, the Eggs-pedition Access event runs throughout January (January 1st - 31st). For $4.99, this paid event unlocks numerous benefits to enhance your Pokémon catching experience. A significant upgrade to the Gift system lets you store up to 40 Gifts, open 50 daily, and collect 150 from Photo Discs. Check out the event trailer below!

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

The New Year's 2025 event in Pokémon Go 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 increased wild spawns of Jigglypuff (with a ribbon), Hoothoot (in a New Year's outfit), and Wurmple (in a party hat), all with boosted Shiny rates. Event bonuses include 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and celebratory fireworks.

Raids will feature a snowflake-hat-wearing Pikachu (Tier One) and party-hat-adorned Raticate and Wobbuffet (Tier Three), also with increased Shiny chances. Don't forget to check Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases for additional themed Pokémon encounters.
