'Pokémon Go' New Year's Event: Start Time, Research and More
On 12/30/20 at 11:39 AM EST
Thursday marks the start of the final
Pokémon Go event of 2020,and trainers will want to ring in the New Year with new research tasks to complete, and special attire-wearing Pokémon to catch.
This year's New Year's Event will bring a slew of activities for
Pokémon Go trainers, including catching festive Pokémon like a 2020-glasses-wearing Slowpoke—yes, they're a year late—and a Pikachu wearing a New Year's hat. Both Pokémon can evolve and retain their costumes.
Pichu will also hatch from 2km Eggs while wearing a New Year's hat. Wynaut will hatch as well, but trainers can hatch a Shiny Wynaut more frequently during the event, so be sure to get your steps in safely.
