Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, often releasing them gradually through events rather than large-scale updates. This phased approach includes evolution lines, regional variants, and shiny forms, often tied to themed in-game events. These events provide opportunities to acquire new Pokémon and earn bonuses.
The Dual Destiny season introduced Fidough and its evolution, Dachsbun, as part of the Fidough Fetch event. This guide details how to obtain these Paldean canine Pokémon.
How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO
The Fidough Fetch event (January 4th-8th, 2025) marked the in-game debut of Fidough and Dachsbun. Fidough appeared as a wild spawn during this event, alongside other canine Pokémon. It was also obtainable via Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.
Players could also acquire Fidough or Dachsbun through trading with other Trainers. Online Pokémon GO communities (like Reddit or Discord) are helpful resources for finding trading partners.
Since Dachsbun didn't appear as a wild spawn, obtaining it required either trading or evolving a Fidough using 50 Candies. Consider comparing the stats of multiple Fidough before evolving, as Dachsbun is a valuable Pokémon for battles and future events.
Can Fidough & Dachsbun Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
Currently (as of the Dual Destiny season), shiny Fidough and Dachsbun are unavailable. However, future events may introduce shiny variants, as is common practice with Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will need to patiently await future opportunities.
