This exciting event takes place from January 3 at 3:00 PM PST to January 7 at 10:00 PM PST. It’s essential to note that these times are set in Pacific Standard Time, so be sure to convert them to your local time zone to participate without missing out.

Global Challenges of the Fidough Fetch Event

At the core of the Fidough Fetch event is a dynamic global challenge system. Every Nice Throw completed by players contributes to a communal goal. As the community hits these targets, everyone benefits through the unlocking of new reward tiers.

The reward structure functions similarly to a ladder, with each tier offering increasingly appealing incentives. Below are the rewards tied to the achievement of Nice Throw milestones:

Level	Rewards
Level 1	2× XP for catching Pokémon
Level 2	• 2× Stardust for catching Pokémon • Additional event Field Research • Fidough and Dachsbun debut in Pokémon GO
Level 3	• 2.5× XP for catching Pokémon • Additional event Field Research • Hisuian Growlithe and Greavard introduced to spawns
Level 4	2.5× Stardust for catching Pokémon
Level 5	3× XP and Stardust for catching Pokémon
Level 6	4× XP and Stardust for catching Pokémon

Fidough Fetch Field Research and Showcases

Be on the lookout for event-specific Field Research tasks available at PokeStops. These tasks not only offer additional chances to encounter event Pokémon but also provide useful items such as Poké Balls and Stardust. Additionally, you can participate in PokeStop Showcases by entering your event Pokémon.

If you aim to maximize your experience during this event, make it a point to engage before Level 2 rewards unlock. This is when you can start capturing Fidough, and the double Stardust bonus will significantly increase the value of each catch. For those looking for efficient leveling, utilizing a Lucky Egg during the higher XP multipliers available at Levels 5 and 6 would be a prudent strategy.

Wild Boosted Spawns and Shiny Opportunities

Throughout the Fidough Fetch event, trainers can expect to encounter several Pokémon in the wild:

Growlithe
Voltorb (increased shiny chance)
Snubbull
Poochyena
Electrike (increased shiny chance)
Lillipup

Once the Level 2 rewards are unlocked, Fidough will start appearing in the wild. Remember, you will need 50 Fidough Candy to evolve it into Dachsbun. Both Pokémon are classified as pure Fairy-types, providing unique additions to your Pokédex, even if they aren’t the premier combatants.
