In Pokemon GO, new Pokemon are introduced gradually, often through special events rather than massive updates. These events focus on specific Pokemon or themes, offering players the chance to catch these new additions, along with various bonuses and rewards.
During the Dual Destiny season, the Fidough Fetch event marked the debut of the Paldean dog Pokemon, Fidough, and its evolution, Dachsbun. This event provides multiple ways for Trainers to add these Pokemon to their Pokedex, whether for completion, collection, or battling.
How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokemon GO
During the Fidough Fetch event, which ran from January 4, 2025, to January 8, 2025, as part of the Dual Destiny season, Fidough became available as a wild spawn alongside other dog-like Pokemon. This gives Trainers the opportunity to encounter and catch Fidough directly in the wild. Additionally, Fidough can be obtained by completing Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges during the event, providing multiple ways to secure this new Pokemon.
For those interested in Dachsbun, since it does not appear as a wild spawn, you have two primary options: trade with other Trainers or evolve a Fidough. Trading can be facilitated through Pokemon GO communities on platforms like Reddit or Discord, where you can find reliable trading partners. To evolve Fidough into Dachsbun, you'll need 50 Candies. If you have multiple Fidough, it's wise to compare their stats and evolve the one with the best potential, as Dachsbun has shown to be a formidable battler, useful in various PvP Leagues, cups, and NPC battles.
Can Fidough & Dachsbun Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?
As of the Dual Destiny season, shiny versions of Fidough and Dachsbun have not been released in Pokemon GO. However, it's likely that shiny variants will be introduced in future events. Until then, Trainers will need to wait patiently and focus on other shiny hunting opportunities.
