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 variants, or costumes this year, there's still plenty of festive fun.

Tier One raids feature a snowflake-wearing Pikachu, while Tier Three offers party-hat-adorned Raticate and Wobbuffet, both with increased Shiny chances. Themed Pokémon will also appear in Field Research tasks and PokéStop Showcases.
