It’s time to usher in another year with Pokémon Go’s annual New Year’s event, which includes a new costumed Jigglypuff, several returning special costumed Pokémon, and two sets of event-exclusive research to complete.
New Year’s 2024 will run from Jan 1 at 10am local time to Jan. 3 at 8pm local time, with featured encounters like Ribbon Jigglypuff, Party Hat Starters, and more. Certain Ultra Beasts will also appear in five-star raids again, with Buzzwole in the Americas and Greenland, Xurkitree in the Asia-Pacific region, and Pheromosa in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India.
On offer for this year’s event, you have access to several event-exclusive pieces of Field Research and a $1 paid ticket that will unlock Timed Research featuring encounters with several of the costumed Pokémon and some extra PokéCoins.
