Get ready for festive fun in Pokémon GO! Niantic's Holiday Part One event is arriving soon, bringing a flurry of holiday cheer from December 17th to 22nd. This event is packed with bonuses, special Pokémon encounters, and seasonal challenges.
Double XP for catching Pokémon and halved Egg hatch distances await. A new costumed Dedenne, sporting its holiday best, makes its debut, with a chance to snag a shiny variant. Shiny Sandygast also makes its first appearance.
Explore the wild for Alolan Sandshrew, Swinub, and Darumaka. Raids offer a festive roster: one-star raids feature Winter Carnival Pikachu and holiday Psyduck. Three-star raids challenge you with Undersea Holiday Glaceon and Cryogonal, while Mega Latias and Mega Latios appear in Mega Raids.
Seven-kilometer Eggs hold the potential to hatch Hisuian Growlithe or a holiday-ribboned Cubchoo. Event-themed Field Research tasks and a $2.00 Timed Research offer encounters with themed Pokémon, Premium Battle Passes, and more rewards.
Collection Challenges return, rewarding Stardust, Poké Balls, and Great Balls for catching and raiding. Show off your event Pokémon in PokéStop Showcases. Don't forget to redeem those Pokémon GO codes for free items!
