As 2024 draws to a close, the excitement for 2025 is palpable, especially with Niantic's New Year's 2025 event in Pokémon Go leading the festivities. This event kicks off the celebrations, closely followed by the engaging Fidough Fetch and the much-anticipated Sprigatito Community Day. As we step into the New Year, the Dual Destiny season continues with the Eggs-pedition Access event starting on January 1st and running throughout the month. For just $4.99, this event unlocks a plethora of perks to enhance your Pokémon-catching adventures until January 31st.

Your Gift game will see a significant boost during this period. You'll be able to store up to 40 Gifts in your Item Bag, open a maximum of 50 Gifts daily, and collect up to 150 Gifts from spinning Photo Discs. To get a sneak peek at what's in store, check out the event trailer below!

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

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 are no new Pokémon, Shinies, or costumes to look forward to this year, which might disappoint some, there's still plenty of fun to be had.

During the event, you can encounter wild spawns such as Jigglypuff adorned with a ribbon, Hoothoot in a festive New Year's outfit, and Wurmple sporting a party hat—all of which have the potential to be Shiny. The event bonuses include earning 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and enjoying spectacular fireworks lighting up the night skies, adding a celebratory touch to your adventures.

In Tier One raids, you'll find Pikachu wearing a charming snowflake beanie, while Tier Three raids feature Raticate and Wobbuffet, both donning party hats, with increased chances of encountering their Shiny variants. Additionally, Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases will offer encounters with themed Pokémon, so make sure to participate actively.
