Pokémon GO continues its tradition of gradually rolling out new Pokémon through special events and seasonal highlights rather than overwhelming players with a bulk update. This strategy brings exciting opportunities for Trainers to engage in themed events and earn exclusive rewards while adding new Pokémon to their collections.
The Dual Destiny Season Welcomes Fidough and Dachsbun
As part of the ongoing Dual Destiny season, the Fidough Fetch event introduces the adorable Paldean dog Pokémon, Fidough, and its evolution, Dachsbun, to Pokémon GO. This limited-time event, running from January 4 to January 8, 2025, celebrates their debut with multiple ways to encounter and capture these new additions.
How to Catch Fidough
During the event, Fidough can be found:
- In the wild: Fidough appears as a frequent wild spawn, offering Trainers a straightforward way to encounter and catch it.
- Through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges: Completing event-specific tasks provides additional chances to obtain Fidough and other event rewards.
Trainers without access to these methods can also obtain Fidough via trading with other players. Communities on platforms like Reddit or Discord are great resources for finding trade partners.
How to Get Dachsbun
Dachsbun, Fidough’s evolved form, cannot be encountered in the wild. To add this Pokémon to your collection, follow these steps:
- Catch a Fidough.
- Evolve Fidough into Dachsbun using 50 Candies.
For those seeking an optimized Dachsbun for battles, consider evolving the Fidough with the best stats. Dachsbun shows promise as a reliable option in PvP battles, events, and NPC challenges, making it a valuable addition to your roster.
Are Shiny Fidough and Dachsbun Available?
As of now, shiny variants of Fidough and Dachsbun are not available in Pokémon GO. However, Niantic often releases shiny versions of previously introduced Pokémon in future events. Until then, Trainers can focus on completing their Pokédex or participating in other ongoing challenges.
Don’t Miss the Fidough Fetch Event
With its engaging features and opportunities, the Fidough Fetch event is a fantastic way for Trainers to kickstart their 2025 Pokémon GO adventures. Be sure to explore your surroundings, complete challenges, and trade with fellow Trainers before the event ends on January 8, 2025.
