Summary

  • Fidough may appear in Pokemon GO in the near future.
  • The Fairy-type Pokemon debuted in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet in 2022.
  • Many fans are speculating that getting the Pokemon won't be easy, though no specific details have been revealed.

In a surprising announcement, Niantic has teased the debut of Fidough, a popular Fairy-type creature from the Paldea region, in Pokemon GO. This comes at a time when the developers are gearing up to launch a plethora of exciting events in Pokemon GO to celebrate the festive season.

The Pokemon GO Holiday event is currently underway, marking the debut of Holiday Attire Dedenne in the game. Apart from that, there are also many rewards and bonuses players can snag over the course of the event. The second part of the festivities is also slated to start soon, adding Holiday Attire Wooloo and marking the return of Giratina (Altered Forme). Right after that, the New Year event will also be taking place in the popular mobile title. However, it seems like the developers have even more exciting plans for fans as another Pokemon looks set to debut soon.

Pokemon GO Announces New Hatch Day Event for December 2024

Developer Niantic announces Pokemon GO's new Hatch Day event for December 2024, adding to the recently revealed New Year's event.

In a new tweet, Niantic teased a Pokemon that may be making its way into the game in the near future. The post showcases a creature running around in what looks like a park, and only the legs and its tail are visible. However, that's more than enough of a hint for the community to quickly figure out that it is none other than the cute Pokemon Fidough.

Pokemon GO Fans Skeptical About Fidough's Acquisition Method

Fidough enjoys a lot of popularity among fans, so this announcement is welcome news for many. Fidough made its debut in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and it has quickly become one of the most beloved puppy Pokemon in the community. However, fans are quite skeptical about Fidough's release in Pokemon GO, as they believe that it could be extremely hard to get the Pokemon. Many think that the developers might make it obtainable only through something like a 10km egg, which can make getting the Pokemon quite tricky.

Pokemon GO fans have expressed their reservations about the egg-hatching system for quite a while now. For instance, Larvesta caused an outroar in the Pokemon GO community because of the abysmally low hatch rate. Each egg has a chance of hatching any one Pokemon from a pool, but it seems like the odds aren't the same for each one of them. While there is no official information regarding this, research carried out by players in the past reveals that different species in the same group have different hatch rates. Even if Fidough ends up being a part of some egg, fans would hope that its hatch rate is good enough that they can get the coveted Pokemon in just a few tries.
