Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, often releasing them gradually through events rather than large-scale updates. This phased approach includes evolution lines, regional variants, and shiny forms, often tied to themed in-game events. These events provide opportunities to acquire new Pokémon and earn bonuses.
The Dual Destiny season featured the "Fidough Fetch" event, marking the debut of the Paldean dog Pokémon, Fidough, and its evolution, Dachsbun. This guide details how Trainers can add these Pokémon to their collection.
How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO
Fidough and Dachsbun were introduced during the Fidough Fetch event (January 4th-8th, 2025). Fidough appeared as a wild spawn, increasing encounter chances for Trainers. Additionally, Fidough could be obtained through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.
Players could also acquire Fidough or Dachsbun through trading with other Trainers. Online communities like Reddit or Discord are helpful resources for finding trading partners.
Since Dachsbun doesn't appear in the wild, Trainers needed to either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Evolving a Fidough with higher stats is recommended, as Dachsbun is a strong battler useful in future events, PvP, and battles against NPCs.
Can Fidough & Dachsbun Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
No, shiny Fidough and Dachsbun weren't available during their initial release in the Dual Destiny season. However, future events may introduce shiny variants, as is common practice with Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will need to patiently await future opportunities.
