Pokemon GO Adding New Pokemon in Holiday Part 2 Event

Pokemon GO has announced the second part of the holiday event, which will add costumed variants of Wooloo and Dubwool, and shiny Cetoddle. The event will be one of the last Pokemon GO will hold in 2024, running from December 22 to 27, and having other bonuses available for players.

Cetoddle is an Ice-type Pokemon from Paldea added by Niantic during the Pokemon GO‘s 2023 holiday event, which, like the 2024 edition, added variants of pocket monsters to celebrate Christmas. Wooloo debuted in August 2021 at the Pokemon Sword and Shield-themed event, which brought other critters such as Zacian, Zamazenta, and Falinks. The augmented reality game brought other variants of the little Normal-type, with Shiny and Dynamax Wooloo debuting in September this year.

Now, Pokemon GO has revealed the Holiday Part 2 event, which will see the debuts of costumed versions of Wooloo and Dubwool, and shiny Cetoddle. The event will run from December 22-27 from 10 am to 8 pm local time, with costumed Wooloo appearing as one of the wild spawns, which will also feature other monsters such as Rattatta and Zigzagoon regional variants. To get costumed Dubwool, players will have to evolve the Wooloo caught during the event. Cetoddle, meanwhile, will be one of the monsters available in the one-star raids, which have Alolan Vulpix, Galarian Darumaka, and Litwick. Three-star raids will feature Snorlax and three other Pokemon, while five-star raids will have Giratina, and Mega Raids with Mega Latios and Mega Abomasnow.
