Get ready for festive fun in Pokémon Go! Niantic's Holiday Part One event is arriving soon, bringing a flurry of seasonal surprises from December 17th to 22nd. This event is packed with bonuses, special Pokémon encounters, and exciting challenges.
Expect double XP for catching Pokémon and a significantly reduced egg hatching distance. A new costumed Dedenne, sporting its holiday best, will debut, with a chance to snag a shiny variant. Making its shiny debut is Sandygast!
Explore the wild for Alolan Sandshrew, Swinub, and Darumaka. Raids will feature a festive roster: One-star raids include winter-themed Pikachu and Psyduck. Three-star raids offer Glaceon in an Undersea Holiday outfit and Cryogonal, while Mega Latias and Mega Latios will appear in Mega Raids.
Seven-kilometer Eggs hold the potential to hatch Hisuian Growlithe or a festively ribboned Cubchoo. Complete event-themed Field Research tasks (or the $2.00 Timed Research) for rewards including themed Pokémon encounters and Premium Battle Passes.
Collection Challenges return, rewarding Stardust, Poké Balls, and Great Balls for catching and raiding. Show off your decked-out Pokémon in PokéStop Showcases. Don't forget to claim your freebies using available Pokémon Go codes!
The Pokémon Go Web Store offers two limited-time deals: an Ultra Holiday Box ($4.99) with storage upgrades and Rare Candies, and a Holiday Part 1 Ultra Ticket Box ($6.99) including event access and a Premium Battle Pass. Stock up on supplies for the holiday season!
