Get ready for Pokémon Go's Holiday festivities! Niantic's Holiday Part One event kicks off December 17th and runs until December 22nd, bringing bonus rewards, special Pokémon encounters, and seasonal challenges.
This event doubles your XP for catching Pokémon and halves Egg hatching distances. A new costumed Dedenne (with a shiny variant!) makes its debut, alongside the first-ever appearance of Shiny Sandygast.
Explore the wild for Alolan Sandshrew, Swinub, and Darumaka. Raids offer a festive roster: One-star raids feature costumed Pikachu and Psyduck; three-star raids include Glaceon (Undersea Holiday outfit) and Cryogonal; and Mega Raids star Mega Latias and Mega Latios.
Seven-kilometer Eggs hold the chance to hatch Hisuian Growlithe or a ribbon-adorned Cubchoo. Earn rewards through event-themed Field Research, a $2.00 Timed Research (featuring themed Pokémon and Premium Battle Passes), and Collection Challenges (offering Stardust, Poké Balls, and Great Balls). Don't forget to show off your festive Pokémon in PokéStop Showcases! Plus, redeem Pokémon Go codes for free items!
The Pokémon Go Web Store offers two limited-time deals: The Ultra Holiday Box ($4.99) includes storage upgrades and Rare Candies, while the Holiday Part 1 Ultra Ticket Box ($6.99) grants access to events and a Premium Battle Pass. Stock up on supplies for the holiday season!
