Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, rather than a large-scale release. Evolution lines, regional variants, and shiny forms are often unveiled through events and special opportunities. These events usually center around the new Pokémon or a relevant theme, offering players a chance to catch them and earn bonuses.
The Dual Destiny season introduced Fidough and its evolution, Dachsbun, through the Fidough Fetch event. This guide details how to obtain these Paldean canine Pokémon.
How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO
The Fidough Fetch event (January 4-8, 2025) marked the in-game debut of Fidough and Dachsbun. Fidough appeared as a wild spawn during this event, alongside other canine Pokémon. It was also available through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.
Players could also obtain Fidough (and Dachsbun via evolution) through trading with other Trainers. Online Pokémon GO communities like Reddit or Discord are good places to find 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, carefully selecting your strongest Fidough for 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 with Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will need to patiently await a future opportunity.
