Pokémon Go Winter Holiday Part 2 2025: Field Research, boosted spawns, eggs, and raids

Pokémon Go’s “Winter Holiday Part 2” 2025 event runs Dec. 24–29 and brings the coal Pokémon, Rolycoly, into the mix.

Throughout the event, certain holiday-themed catches can drop bonus items when caught (Fast TMs, Charged TMs, Silver Pinap Berries, Golden Razz Berries, and Rare Candy). Costumed Stantler and Dedenne also have an increased shiny rate during this window.

The Go Pass: Winter Holiday 2025 remains active, so you can still climb tiers and pick up its bonuses. Progressing the pass grants doubled XP for sending gifts, extra items from gifts, and 50% more XP from raids. The premium track adds doubled Stardust from gifts, halved egg hatch distance, and doubled catch XP.

Here’s everything else happening in Part 2, from Field Research to spawns, eggs, and raids.
