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, unique Pokémon encounters, and exciting rewards. Following the December 21st-22nd Community Day event featuring returning Community Day Pokémon, this festive celebration offers a fantastic way to ring in 2025.
This year's event boasts a special bonus: catch Pokémon with Excellent Throws to earn a whopping 2,025 XP each! Enjoy the immersive atmosphere with festive decorations and dazzling fireworks illuminating the skies.
Prepare for increased encounters with special, festively-dressed Pokémon! Spot Jigglypuff with a ribbon, Hoothoot in a New Year's outfit, and Wurmple sporting a party hat – and keep an eye out for their Shiny variants!
Raids are also getting a festive 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 even more Pokémon encounters and rewards. A $2 Paid Timed Research offers exclusive rewards, including three Premium Battle Passes, three Lucky Eggs, 2,025 Stardust, and encounters with event Pokémon.
