Get ready for festive fun in Pokémon Go! Niantic's Holiday Part One event is arriving soon, bringing a flurry of seasonal activities from December 17th to 22nd. This event is packed with bonuses, special Pokémon encounters, and exciting challenges.
Double XP for catching Pokémon and halved egg hatching distances await! A new costumed Dedenne, sporting its holiday best, will debut, with a chance to snag a shiny variant. Shiny Sandygast also makes its first appearance.
Explore the wild to find Alolan Sandshrew, Swinub, and Darumaka. Raids offer a festive roster: one-star raids feature Winter Carnival Pikachu and holiday Psyduck; three-star raids include Undersea Holiday Glaceon and Cryogonal; and Mega Latias and Mega Latios will appear in Mega Raids.
Seven-kilometer Eggs hold the possibility of hatching Hisuian Growlithe or a holiday-ribboned Cubchoo. Earn rewards through event-themed Field Research tasks and a $2.00 Timed Research offering themed Pokémon encounters, Premium Battle Passes, and more.
Collection Challenges return, focusing on catching and raiding for Stardust, Poké Balls, and Great Balls. Showcase your event Pokémon at PokéStop Showcases! Don't forget to redeem those Pokémon Go codes for extra goodies!
