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.

Raids feature a snowflake-hat Pikachu (Tier One), and party-hat-wearing Raticate and Wobbuffet (Tier Three), with increased Shiny chances. Themed Pokémon will also appear in Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
