Pokémon Go is getting ready for Christmas with the Holiday Part 1 event later this month

Authore: EmilyUpdate:Dec 18,2024

Get ready for the Pokémon Go Holiday Part One event! Running from December 17th to 22nd, this festive event brings double XP for catching Pokémon, halved egg hatch distances, and exciting new encounters.

A holiday-themed Dedenne, including a shiny variant, makes its debut! Shiny Sandygast also appears for the first time. Keep an eye out for Alolan Sandshrew, Swinub, and Darumaka in the wild.

Raids offer a festive lineup: Pikachu and Psyduck in holiday outfits in one-star raids; Glaceon (Undersea Holiday outfit) and Cryogonal in three-star raids; and Mega Latias and Mega Latios in Mega Raids.

ytSeven-kilometer Eggs hold the possibility of hatching Hisuian Growlithe or a holiday-ribboned Cubchoo. Complete event-themed Field Research tasks (including a $2.00 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 festive Pokémon in PokéStop Showcases! Plus, don't miss out on free in-game items using available Pokémon Go codes.

The Pokémon Go Web Store features limited-time offers: an Ultra Holiday Box ($4.99) with storage upgrades and Rare Candies, and a Holiday Part 1 Ultra Ticket Box ($6.99) including event access and a Premium Battle Pass. Stock up on supplies for the holiday season!
