Pokémon Go ’Fidough Fetch’ event Field Research and rewards
The Pokémon Go ’Fidough Fetch’ event features a series of Field Research tasks and Global Challenges centered around making Nice Throws. Completing these tasks rewards players with items such as Poké Balls, Great Balls, Stardust, and encounters with event Pokémon. As the community reaches milestones in the Global Challenge by collectively making Nice Throws, various reward levels unlock, including increased XP and Stardust for catches, additional Field Research tasks, and the debut of Fidough and its evolution Dachsbun in the wild. Higher challenge levels introduce more event Pokémon like Hisuian Growlithe and Greavard, along with greater catch bonuses. Players can evolve Fidough into Dachsbun using 50 Fidough Candy, making this event a key opportunity to add these new Fairy-type Pokémon to their collection while benefiting from boosted rewards.
Spinning a PokéStop during the event period may yield one of these tasks:
- Catch 5 Pokémon (Growlithe, Electrike, or Lillipup encounter)
- Make 5 nice throws (Voltorb, Snubbull, or Poochyena encounter)
- Spin 5 PokéStops or gyms (5 Poké Balls, 5 Great Balls, or 500 Stardust)
More Field Research will be added to the event as the global challenges complete, though these are the ones available at the time of publishing.
Pokémon Go ’Fidough Fetch’ event boosted spawns
The Pokémon Go ’Fidough Fetch’ event featured boosted spawns of several Pokémon, including Growlithe, Voltorb, Snubbull, Poochyena, Electrike, and Lillipup, with Fidough and its evolution Dachsbun becoming available in the wild once players reached the second tier of global rewards. The event also increased shiny rates for Voltorb and Electrike, enhancing the chances of encountering these rare variants. Additional spawns such as Hisuian Growlithe and Greavard were introduced at higher global challenge levels, making the event a prime opportunity for trainers to catch a variety of Pokémon with boosted appearances.

How can I unlock all the global challenge rewards in Fidough Fetch
To unlock all the global challenge rewards in the Fidough Fetch event in Pokémon GO, you need to collectively make a series of increasing numbers of Nice Throws with Trainers worldwide. The event features six levels of global challenges, each requiring more Nice Throws than the last, unlocking progressively better rewards for all players once each threshold is met:
-
Level 1: 50 million Nice Throws unlock 2× XP for catching Pokémon.
-
Level 2: 75 million Nice Throws unlock 2× Stardust, an additional event Field Research task, and the debut of Fidough and Dachsbun.

Level 3: 100 million Nice Throws unlock 2.5× XP, another Field Research task, and add Hisuian Growlithe and Greavard to wild spawns.

Level 4: 125 million Nice Throws unlock 2.5× Stardust.
-
Level 5: 150 million Nice Throws unlock 3× XP and Stardust.
-
Level 6: 175 million Nice Throws unlock 4× XP and Stardust.
Once a level is completed, its bonuses remain active for the rest of the event, and the next challenge begins. To contribute, focus on making Nice Throws (ideally Nice Curveball Throws) during the event period from January 3 to January 7, 2025.
What is the fastest way to contribute to global Nice Throw goals in Fidough Fetch
The fastest way to contribute to the Fidough Fetch global Nice Throw goals is to focus on consistently making Nice Throws, ideally Nice Curveball Throws, during every Pokémon encounter throughout the event. Since every Nice Throw counts toward the worldwide total, maximizing your number of throws by catching many Pokémon and practicing curveballs-which are not difficult once mastered-will accelerate progress. Using items like Razz Berries and aiming for easier-to-catch Pokémon can help maintain a high throw rate. Additionally, playing during peak hours when more Pokémon spawn can increase your opportunities to make Nice Throws quickly. This collective effort helps unlock all six global challenge reward tiers, including up to 4× XP and Stardust bonuses for catching Pokémon.
