What's in Store for the New Year's 2025 Event?

The Pokémon Go New Year's 2025 event runs from December 30th, 2024, at 10:00 am to January 1st, 2025, at 8:00 pm. While there are no new Pokémon, Shiny variants, or costumes this year, the event still offers plenty of festive fun.

Expect increased wild spawns of Jigglypuff (with a ribbon), Hoothoot (in a New Year's outfit), and Wurmple (in a party hat), all with boosted Shiny rates. Event bonuses include 2,025 XP for Excellent Throws and celebratory fireworks.

Raids feature a snowflake-hat-wearing Pikachu (Tier One), and party-hat-adorned Raticate and Wobbuffet (Tier Three), again with increased Shiny odds. Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases will also provide encounters with themed Pokémon.
