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 aren't any new Pokémon, Shiny variations, or costumes this year, there's still plenty of festive fun to be had.

Tier One raids feature a Pikachu in a snowflake beanie, while Tier Three raids offer Raticate and Wobbuffet, both in festive party hats. Shiny encounters are also boosted in these raids. Keep an eye out for themed Pokémon encounters through Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
