The New Year's 2025 event in Pokémon Go runs from December 30th, 2024, at 10:00 am to January 1st, 2025, at 8:00 pm. While there aren't any new Pokémon, Shiny variants, or costumes, there's still plenty of festive fun.

Tier One raids feature a snowflake-hat-wearing Pikachu, while Tier Three raids offer party-hat-adorned Raticate and Wobbuffet, both with increased Shiny rates. Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases will also feature event-themed Pokémon encounters.
