Pokémon Go Rings in 2025 with Fireworks Extravaganza

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

As 2024 concludes, Niantic is celebrating the arrival of 2025 in Pokémon Go with a special New Year's event. This precedes the Fidough Fetch event and the highly anticipated Sprigatito Community Day, and kicks off a busy start to the year. January also brings the Eggs-pedition Access, part of the Dual Destiny season, running from January 1st to 31st. For $4.99, this unlocks numerous benefits for your Pokémon journey. The in-game gifting system also receives a boost, increasing gift storage to 40, daily opening limit to 50, and the number obtainable from PokéStops to 150. 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 runs from December 30th, 2024, at 10:00 am to January 1st, 2025, at 8:00 pm. While there are no new Pokémon, Shiny variations, or costumes this year, there's still plenty of festive fun.

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-wearing Pikachu (Tier One), and party-hat-adorned Raticate and Wobbuffet (Tier Three), also with increased Shiny chances. Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases will offer further encounters with event Pokémon.
