2023-12-26
As the final moments of 2023 wind down, trainers around the globe are gearing up for an exhilarating start to 2024. Niantic, the masterminds behind the augmented reality sensation Pokémon Go, has pulled back the curtain to reveal a dazzling New Year celebration befitting the world of Pokémon.
On the very first day of 2024, January 1st at precisely 10:00 am local time, Pokémon Go will launch its New Year’s event, an annual tradition that immerses players in festive merriment until January 3rd, 8:00 pm. This event is not just any ordinary festivity—players can expect a cavalcade of costumed Pokémon to capture, delightful avatar items to don, and a series of themed events that ring in the new year with virtual aplomb.
What's causing a stir among the community is the debut of Jigglypuff and Wigglytuff adorned with celebratory ribbons—a first for these fan-favorite Pokémon. If fortune smiles upon them, trainers might even spot a Shiny variant! Additionally, other Pokémon such as Hoothoot in New Year’s finery, Darumaka, and Bronzor will grace the wilds, adding to the allure of the hunt.
As per tradition, the skies within the game will sparkle with in-game fireworks—a spectacle designed to enchant. Coupled with the ubiquitous New Year decorations that adorn the virtual landscape, trainers are in for an experience that captures the essence of the holiday.
The excitement continues with event bonuses. Egg hatching turns into a breeze as all eggs placed into incubators during the event will require only half the usual distance to hatch, with the first three eggs using the nifty egg hatching widget benefitting from an even more generous quarter-distance requirement.
No festive event is complete without gifts, and Pokémon Go offers redeemable codes teeming with surprises for December connoisseurs. For the dedicated trainer, a paid Timed Research ticket costs a mere $1.00—or the equivalent in local currency—unlocking exclusive quests replete with rewards such as Stardust, XP, PokéCoins, and rare encounters with event-exclusives like the party-hat-wearing Wurmple.
For those who relish completing on-the-go tasks, Field Research will become available, distributing Stardust and unique Pokémon encounters to enrich the festival experience.
Fashion meets function as trainers can don the new Darumaka Hat, a stylish offering from the in-game shop sure to make a statement. And for the pragmatic enthusiast, a New Year’s box packed with an Incubator and a Premium Battle Pass awaits for a modest 99 PokéCoins.
As we bid farewell to 2023 and say hello to 2024, Pokémon Go stands ready to deliver an event brimming with festivities, fun, and, of course, Pokémon. Trainers old and new can leap into the fray and download Pokémon Go now—at no cost—to ensure they don’t miss out on the jubilance of the coming New Year. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to start Pokémon Go and step into 2024 with an adventurous spirit!
