Happy New Year 2025: Pokémon Go Celebrates with Fireworks Galore

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

As 2024 draws to a close, Niantic is celebrating the arrival of 2025 in Pokémon Go with a special New Year's event, followed by the Fidough Fetch event and the highly anticipated Sprigatito Community Day.

Kicking off the new year is the Eggs-pedition Access, a month-long event running from January 1st to 31st. For $4.99, this pass unlocks numerous in-game benefits to enhance your Pokémon catching journey. This includes a significant upgrade to the Gift system, allowing you to store up to 40 Gifts, open 50 daily, and collect 150 from Photo Discs.

Check out the event details below!

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

The Pokémon Go 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 time around, there's still plenty of festive fun to be had.

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 Pikachu (in a snowflake beanie) in Tier One raids, and Raticate and Wobbuffet (both in party hats) in Tier Three raids, with increased Shiny odds. Themed Pokémon will also appear in Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
