What's in Store in the New Year's 2025 Event in Pokémon Go?
The New Year's 2025 event in Pokémon Go is set to run from December 30th, 2024, at 10:00 am to January 1st, 2025, at 8:00 pm. While there won't be any new Pokémon, Shinies, or costumes this year, which might be a bit disappointing, there's still plenty of fun to be had.
You'll encounter wild spawns such as Jigglypuff adorned with a ribbon, Hoothoot in a New Year's outfit, and Wurmple sporting a party hat—all of which have the chance to be Shiny. Event bonuses include earning 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and the spectacle of festive fireworks lighting up the skies, adding a touch of magic to your adventures.
Tier One raids will feature Pikachu donning a snowflake beanie, while Tier Three raids will include Raticate and Wobbuffet, both dressed in party hats, with increased chances of encountering their Shiny forms. Engage in Field Research tasks and participate in PokéStop Showcases for encounters with themed Pokémon, keeping the excitement alive.
