Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a>\u2019s “Winter Holiday Part 2” 2025 event runs from Dec. 24-29 and introduces the coal Pok\u00e9mon, Rolycoly, to the game.<\/p>\n

During this special holiday event, “event-themed” Pok\u00e9mon may reward items (Fast TMs, Charged TMs, Silver Pinap Berries, Golden Razz Berries, and Rare Candy) when caught and both the costumed Stantler and Dedenne have higher chances to be shiny.<\/p>\n

The Go Pass: Winter Holiday 2025 is still active, meaning you can still rank up and make use of the bonuses from that. As you rank up, you’ll get doubled XP for sending gifts, additional items from gifts, and 50% more XP from raid battles. If you get the premium version of the pass, you’ll also unlock doubled Stardust from gifts, halved egg hatch distance, and doubled XP from catching Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

Below, we list the rest of the perks for Pok\u00e9mon Go’s “Winter Holiday Part 2” 2025 event, including the Field Research, boosted spawns, and egg hatches.<\/p>\n
