Pokémon GO introduces new Pokémon gradually, often through events rather than large updates. This staggered release includes evolution lines, regional variants, and shiny forms. The Dual Destiny season's Fidough Fetch event marked the debut of the Paldean Pokémon, Fidough, and its evolution, Dachsbun. This guide explains how to obtain them.

How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokemon GO

The Fidough Fetch event, running from January 4th to 8th, 2025, was your primary chance to catch Fidough. It appeared as a wild spawn alongside other canine Pokémon. You could also obtain Fidough by completing Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges during the event.

Alternatively, trading with other Trainers is another option. Online Pokémon GO communities like Reddit and Discord are great places to find trading partners.

Dachsbun doesn't appear in the wild. To get one, you'll need to either trade for it or evolve your Fidough using 50 Candies. Consider checking the stats of your Fidough before evolving; a strong Dachsbun is valuable for battling.

Can Fidough & Dachsbun Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?

No, shiny Fidough and Dachsbun weren't available during the Dual Destiny season. However, future events may introduce shiny variants. For now, Trainers will have to wait for a future opportunity.
