Pokémon Go rings in 2025 with a New Year's event! Niantic's festivities kick off the year, paving the way for the Fidough Fetch event and Sprigatito Community Day. But before that, players can enjoy the Eggs-pedition Access pass.

This includes a significant boost to your gifting capabilities: a larger Gift storage capacity (up to 40 Gifts), increased daily Gift opening limit (up to 50 Gifts), and a higher Gift acquisition rate from PokéStops (150 Gifts).
