Pokémon Go's Holiday Event Part One: Festive Fun from December 17th to 22nd!
Get ready for some holiday cheer in Pokémon Go! Niantic's Holiday event kicks off its first part from December 17th to 22nd, bringing a flurry of bonuses, special Pokémon encounters, and seasonal challenges.
This event doubles your XP for catching Pokémon and halves egg hatching distances. A new costumed Dedenne, sporting festive attire, makes its debut, with a chance to snag a shiny variant. Making its first appearance is the Shiny Sandygast!
Explore the wild to find Alolan Sandshrew, Swinub, and Darumaka. Raids offer a festive roster: One-star raids feature Pikachu (Winter Carnival outfit) and Psyduck (holiday attire). Three-star raids challenge you with Glaceon (Undersea Holiday outfit) and Cryogonal. Mega Latias and Mega Latios headline the Mega Raids.
Seven-kilometer Eggs hold the potential to hatch Hisuian Growlithe or a holiday-ribbon-adorned Cubchoo. Complete event-themed Field Research tasks (including a $2.00 Timed Research option) for encounters with costumed Pokémon, Premium Battle Passes, and other rewards.
Collection Challenges return, rewarding Stardust, Poké Balls, and Great Balls for catching and raiding achievements. Showcase your event Pokémon at PokéStop Showcases! Don't forget to redeem those Pokémon Go codes for free goodies!
The Pokémon Go Web Store presents two limited-time offers: the Ultra Holiday Box ($4.99) containing a Pokémon Storage upgrade, an Item Bag upgrade, and 17 Rare Candies; and the Holiday Part 1 Ultra Ticket Box ($6.99) providing access to Holiday events and a bonus Premium Battle Pass.
