Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, often releasing them gradually through events rather than large-scale updates. This phased approach applies to evolution lines, regional variants, Mega/Dynamax forms, and shiny variations. These events typically focus on the new Pokémon or a related theme, providing players with opportunities to acquire them and earn bonuses.
The Dual Destiny season's Fidough Fetch event marked the arrival of the Paldean dog Pokémon, Fidough, and its evolution, Dachsbun. This guide details how to obtain both Pokémon.
How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO
The Fidough Fetch event, running from January 4th to January 8th, 2025, was the debut of Fidough and Dachsbun. Fidough appeared as a wild spawn alongside other canine Pokémon. It was also obtainable through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.
Players could also acquire Fidough or Dachsbun via trading. Online Pokémon GO communities like Reddit or Discord are excellent resources for finding trading partners.
Since Dachsbun didn't appear in the wild, players needed to either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Evolving a Fidough with high stats is recommended, as Dachsbun is a valuable asset for battling.
Can Fidough & Dachsbun Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
As of the Dual Destiny season, shiny Fidough and Dachsbun were not available. However, future events may introduce shiny variants, as is common practice with Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will have to wait for a future opportunity.
