As we embrace the new year, Niantic has lined up exciting content for Pokémon Go enthusiasts. While we eagerly await the Fashion Week event, the Fidough Fetch event is currently in full swing, inviting you to embark on an adventure with friends. This event, live until January 7th, introduces the debut of the adorable Puppy Pokémon Fidough and its evolution, Dachsbun. Engage in a series of Global Challenges to earn fantastic rewards as you catch these new additions to your Pokédex.

During the Fidough Fetch event, you'll have ample opportunities to encounter Fidough across the Pokémon Go world. Collect 50 Candy by catching Fidough to evolve it into Dachsbun. Moreover, the Global Challenges will keep you engaged, requiring you to master Nice Curveball Throws to unlock progressively rewarding bonuses.

The rewards for these challenges are tiered, meaning the more you accomplish, the greater your rewards. Start by earning double XP for catching Pokémon, which can increase to up to four times the XP and Stardust as you progress through the stages. Don't forget to claim your freebies with these *Pokémon Go codes*!

In addition to Fidough, keep an eye out for other beloved Pokémon appearing more frequently in the wild, such as Growlithe, Voltorb, Snubbull, Electrike, Lillipup, and Poochyena. There's even a chance to encounter their shiny variants. If luck is on your side, you might spot Hisuian Growlithe and Greavard as well.

If you need a break from chasing Pokémon, dive into the event-themed Field Research tasks. These tasks offer rewards like Stardust and Poké Balls, along with encounters with themed Pokémon. Also, don't miss out on the Pokémon Showcases, where you can proudly display your newly caught creatures.
