Pokémon Go is kicking off the festive season with part one of its yearly holiday event from Dec. 17-22 — called, suitably, “Holiday Part 1.”
The event also features two pretty good bonuses: doubled XP from catching Pokémon and halved hatch distance for eggs put into incubators during the event. Shiny Sandygast also makes its debut during this event, alongside a special Dedenne in a holiday outfit.
Below we list all the perks and bonuses for Pokémon Go’s “Holiday Part 1” 2024 event.
Pokémon Go ‘Holiday Part 1’ event Timed Research and reward
If you complete this research before the event ends, you’ll get a special reward. The research branches between two choices: helping Spark or finding Sierra. If you help Spark, you’ll focus more on ice-type Pokémon and you’ll get an Alolan Vulpix. If you look for Sierra, you’ll focus on fire-type Pokémon and you’ll get a shadow Kantonian Vulpix.
Which branch should you pick, Spark or Sierra? It largely doesn’t matter. If you like collecting shadow Pokémon, you may want to grab the Shadow Vulpix from Sierra, but neither versions of these Vulpix (nor their evolutions, Ninetales) are used for any meta, so it doesn’t particularly make a difference.
Rewards: 1,000 Stardust, 1,000 XP
Rewards: Alolan/shadow Vulpix encounter, 2,000 XP
Rewards: Sandygast encounter, 3,000 XP, 2,000 Stardust
Rewards: 2,500 Stardust
