Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, often phasing them in rather than a massive simultaneous release. This approach utilizes in-game events and special opportunities to unveil evolutionary lines, regional variants, and shiny forms. These events typically center around the new Pokémon or a relevant theme, providing players with their first chance to catch them, along with bonus rewards.

The Dual Destiny season's Fidough Fetch event marked the arrival of the Paldean dog Pokémon, Fidough, and its evolution, Dachsbun. This guide details how Trainers can add these Pokémon to their collection.

How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO

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

Players could also acquire Fidough or Dachsbun via trading with other Trainers. Online Pokémon GO communities (Reddit, Discord, etc.) are helpful resources for finding trading partners.

Dachsbun didn't appear in the wild. Trainers needed to either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Given Dachsbun's potential in battles, comparing Fidough stats before evolution is recommended.

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 in Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will need to patiently await their shiny debut.
