Fidough is a Fairy-type Pokémon from the Paldea region, but it is now getting ready to debut in Pokémon Go. Before the four-legged friend can join your Pokédex, it needs to be unsealed from behind the doors of an event.
The Fidough Fetch questline will kick off on January 3, at 3pm and end on January 7, 2025, at 10pm PST. The event takes Pokémon Go collaboration to a whole new level, as Trainers worldwide will be invited to work together towards certain goals. Of course, unlocking Fidough will be on most Trainer’s minds, but there are a range of other rewards to grab along the way.
