Shiny Vanillite debuts, event bonuses abound, and several Pokémon wear their holiday finest.

The holiday merriment continues with Pokémon GO’s Winter Holiday Part 2 event, running from December 25, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. to December 31, 2023, at 8:00 p.m. local time. For the frost time in Pokémon GO, Psyduck is ducking out in holiday attire—and lucky Trainers may encounter Shiny Vanillite! Trainers will also get the gift of a choice between bonuses they’ll receive for completing Timed Research. Choose between double XP or double Stardust for catching Pokémon and enjoy increased XP and Stardust from opening Gifts.
