Overview of the Upcoming Pokémon GO Global Challenge
- The upcoming Pokémon GO Global Challenge, set for January 3-7, 2025, simplifies player requirements to just making Nice Throws.
- The event features six tiers of rewards obtainable through the completion of themed Field Research tasks.
- This collaborative challenge fosters player engagement, offering enticing bonuses such as XP and Stardust for successful Pokémon catches.
In 2025, Pokémon GO welcomes its latest creature, the charming puppy Fidough, and Niantic has taken steps to make the upcoming Global Challenge more accessible. These events play a critical role in Pokémon GO, rallying trainers from across the globe to work together towards common goals, ultimately unlocking exclusive bonuses and special Pokémon.
Since its inception in late 2017, Pokémon GO’s Global Events have captivated players worldwide. These challenges encourage a sense of community as trainers, despite differing team loyalties, collaborate to earn valuable rewards. Typically, participants engage in tasks such as capturing a designated number of Pokémon or visiting various PokéStops to receive bonuses like Stardust.
Originally, this year’s Global Challenge posed a higher level of difficulty, requiring players to make Nice Curveball Throws to complete event tasks. However, the challenge has since been adjusted to require only Nice Throws, simplifying progression while maintaining the same reward structure for players involved in the event.

- The Fidough Fetch Global Challenge kicks off on January 3, 2025, at 3:00 PM PST and concludes on January 7, 2025, at 10:00 PM PST.
During the Global Challenge, players will have the opportunity to advance through six reward levels. Unlocking higher tiers will rely on the collective completion of event-specific Field Research tasks by trainers worldwide. Additionally, players will encounter unique Pokémon at specially designated Showcases across various PokéStops, with some event-themed Pokémon, such as Shiny Voltorb and Shiny Electrike, available for capture. This exciting event coincides with the Pokémon GO Sprigatito Community Day, which is scheduled for January 5, 2025.
The appeal of Global Challenges extends to lapsed players, as the collaborative nature of the rewards means that individual performance is not the sole factor in progressing through the levels. Additionally, the bonuses offered during the event—such as extra XP and Stardust—make it easier for players to reconnect with the game and catch up to active participants. With Pokémon Day coming on February 27, a key date for news and updates within the Pokémon universe, there’s no better time to re-engage with Pokémon GO.
