• How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO
• Can Fidough & Dachsbun Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?

Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, often releasing them gradually through events rather than large-scale updates. This phased approach applies to evolutionary lines, regional variants, and shiny forms. Events centered around specific Pokémon or themes provide opportunities for acquisition and offer bonus rewards.

The Dual Destiny Season's "Fidough Fetch" event marked the debut of the Paldean dog Pokémon, Fidough, and its evolution, Dachsbun. This guide details how to obtain them.

How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO

The Fidough Fetch event (January 4-8, 2025) introduced Fidough as a wild spawn. Trainers could encounter and catch it. Additionally, Fidough was available through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.

Trading with other Trainers is another option. Online Pokémon GO communities (Reddit, Discord, etc.) are helpful for finding reliable trading partners.

Dachsbun wasn't a wild spawn. Trainers needed to either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Consider comparing Fidough stats before evolving, as Dachsbun is a strong battler, valuable for events, PvP, and NPC battles.

Can Fidough & Dachsbun Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?

No, shiny Fidough and Dachsbun weren't available during their initial release in the Dual Destiny Season. However, future events may introduce shiny variants, as is common practice with Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will have to wait for a future opportunity.
