As 2024 concludes, Niantic is celebrating the arrival of 2025 in Pokémon Go with a special New Year's event, followed by the Fidough Fetch event and the highly anticipated Sprigatito Community Day.
Kicking off the new year is the Eggs-pedition Access, a January-long event running from January 1st to 31st. For $4.99, this pass unlocks numerous benefits to enhance your Pokémon catching adventures. This includes a significant upgrade to your Gift system, allowing you to store up to 40 Gifts, open 50 daily, and collect 150 from Photo Discs.

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 this year, there's still plenty of festive fun.
Expect to encounter wild Jigglypuff with ribbons, Hoothoot in New Year's attire, and Wurmple sporting party hats—all with a boosted Shiny rate. Event bonuses include 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and celebratory fireworks.
Raids feature a snowflake-capped Pikachu (Tier One), and party hat-wearing Raticate and Wobbuffet (Tier Three), also with increased Shiny chances. Themed Pokémon will also appear in Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
