What's in Store for the Pokémon Go New Year's 2025 Event?
The New Year's 2025 event in Pokémon Go runs from December 30th, 2024, at 10:00 am to January 1st, 2025, at 8:00 pm. While there aren't any new Pokémon, Shiny variations, or costumes, there's still plenty of festive fun to be had.
Expect to find wild spawns of Jigglypuff (with a ribbon), Hoothoot (in a New Year's outfit), and Wurmple (in a party hat), all with a boosted Shiny rate. Event bonuses include 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and celebratory fireworks.
Raids will feature Pikachu (sporting a snowflake beanie) in Tier One raids, and Raticate and Wobbuffet (both in party hats) in Tier Three raids, with increased Shiny chances. Don't forget to check Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases for additional themed Pokémon encounters.
