As 2023 draws to a close, a new year filled with exciting events—and, of course, Pokémon—is just around the corner. Ring in 2024 with the Pokémon GO New Year’s 2024 event from January 1, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. to January 3, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. local time. Jigglypuff wearing a ribbon is dressed to impress in its Pokémon GO debut, while festive fireworks will light up the in-game skies with a celebratory vibe. Trainers will also enjoy half Hatch Distance for Eggs placed in Incubators during the event.

New Year, New Research

Throughout the event, Trainers can complete Field Research tasks to earn Stardust and encounters with Bronzor and Darumaka. Paid Timed Research is also available for US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing in your local currency). Research tasks must be completed before the event concludes to earn Stardust, XP, PokéCoins, and encounters with event-specific Pokémon.

Happy New Year, Trainers!
