Pokémon GO Holidays 2018

The cheer and joy of the holidays is coming to the world of Pokémon GO, as the Delivery Pokémon, Delibird, returns for Pokémon GO Holidays 2018!

  • Starting on December 18, Ice-type Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild, including Jynx, Sneasel, Swinub, Snorunt, Spheal, and Snover!
  • Certain other Pokémon are also getting into the festivities—you might see holiday-ready Pokémon, such as a Pikachu wearing a festive hat.
  • Pokémon such as Smoochum, Azurill, and Munchlax will have a greater chance of hatching from 7 km Eggs.
  • Trainers will also earn a free single-use Incubator once per day via spinning a Photo Disc on a PokéStop.

Additionally, for a short time:

  • December 18 - December 22: double Candy for catching and transferring Pokémon.
  • December 22 - December 26: earn double Catch Stardust.
  • December 26 - December 30: earn double XP when you catch Pokémon.
  • December 30 - January 2: Incubators will be twice as effective.
