Author : Michael Update:Mar 16,2025

Get ready for some holiday cheer in Pokémon GO! Niantic is kicking off the first part of their Holiday event, bringing festive fun from December 17th to 22nd. This event is packed with bonuses, special Pokémon encounters, and seasonal challenges.

During Holiday Part One, enjoy double XP for catching Pokémon and a halved egg hatch distance. A brand-new costumed Dedenne, decked out in holiday attire, makes its debut, with a chance to snag a shiny version! Plus, Shiny Sandygast appears for the very first time.

Keep an eye out for Alolan Sandshrew, Swinub, and Darumaka in the wild. Raids offer a festive lineup too! One-star raids feature Pikachu in a Winter Carnival outfit and a holiday-themed Psyduck. For a tougher challenge, three-star raids include Glaceon in an Undersea Holiday outfit and Cryogonal. Mega Raids will star Mega Latias and Mega Latios.
