Get ready for the Pokémon Go Holiday festivities! Niantic's Holiday Part One event kicks off December 17th and runs through the 22nd, bringing a flurry of bonuses, special Pokémon encounters, and seasonal challenges.
This event doubles your XP for catching Pokémon and cuts your Egg hatching distance in half. A new costumed Dedenne, sporting its holiday best, makes its debut, with a chance to snag a shiny variant. Adding to the excitement, Shiny Sandygast appears for the very first time!
Explore the wild for Alolan Sandshrew, Swinub, and Darumaka. Raids offer a festive roster: One-star raids feature Pikachu in a Winter Carnival outfit and a holiday-dressed Psyduck. Three-star raids challenge you with Glaceon in an Undersea Holiday outfit and Cryogonal. Mega Latias and Mega Latios headline the Mega Raids.
Seven-kilometer Eggs hold the potential to hatch Hisuian Growlithe or a holiday-ribbon-adorned Cubchoo. Complete event-themed Field Research tasks, or opt for the $2.00 Timed Research, unlocking themed Pokémon encounters, Premium Battle Passes, and more.
Collection Challenges return, rewarding Stardust, Poké Balls, and Great Balls for catching and raiding. Show off your event Pokémon in PokéStop Showcases! Don't forget to claim your freebies using available Pokémon Go codes.
The Pokémon Go Web Store features two limited-time deals: The $4.99 Ultra Holiday Box includes Pokémon Storage and Item Bag upgrades, plus 17 Rare Candies. The $6.99 Holiday Part 1 Ultra Ticket Box grants access to Holiday events and a bonus Premium Battle Pass. Stock up on supplies while you can!
