Pokémon Go Celebrates the Holidays

Get ready for the Pokémon Go Holiday Part One event! From December 17th to 22nd, celebrate the festive season with boosted XP, shorter egg hatch distances, and exciting new Pokémon encounters.

This event features a debuting costumed Dedenne (with a shiny variant!), and the first-ever appearance of Shiny Sandygast. Keep an eye out for Alolan Sandshrew, Swinub, and Darumaka in the wild.

Raids offer a festive roster: One-star raids include holiday-themed Pikachu and Psyduck. Three-star raids bring Undersea Holiday Glaceon and Cryogonal, while Mega Latias and Mega Latios headline Mega Raids.

Seven-kilometer Eggs hold the potential to hatch Hisuian Growlithe or a holiday-ribboned Cubchoo. Complete event-themed Field Research tasks (including a paid Timed Research option) for rewards like themed Pokémon and Premium Battle Passes.

Collection Challenges return, rewarding Stardust and Poké Balls for catching and raiding. Show off your holiday Pokémon in PokéStop Showcases! Don't forget to claim your free in-game rewards by redeeming Pokémon Go codes.

The Pokémon Go Web Store offers two limited-time deals: an Ultra Holiday Box ($4.99) and a Holiday Part 1 Ultra Ticket Box ($6.99), both packed with valuable items and event access. Stock up on resources and enjoy the festivities!
