Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, not all at once, but through events and special opportunities. This includes evolution lines, regional variants, and shiny forms. These events often center on a specific Pokémon or theme, providing chances to acquire new creatures and earn rewards.

The Dual Destiny season introduced Fidough and its evolution, Dachsbun, as part of the Fidough Fetch event. This guide details how to obtain these Paldean canine Pokémon.

How to Catch Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO

The Fidough Fetch event (January 4th-8th, 2025) marked the in-game debut of Fidough and Dachsbun. Fidough appeared in the wild as a featured spawn alongside other canine Pokémon. It was also obtainable through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.

Players could also acquire Fidough or Dachsbun through trading. Online Pokémon GO communities (like Reddit or Discord) are useful for finding trading partners.

Since Dachsbun doesn't appear in the wild, Trainers needed to either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Evolving a Fidough with high stats is recommended, as Dachsbun is a valuable Pokémon for battles and future events.

Shiny Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO?

Currently (as of the Dual Destiny season), shiny Fidough and Dachsbun are unavailable. However, future events may introduce shiny variants, as is common practice in Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will need to wait for future opportunities.
