Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, often releasing them gradually through events rather than large-scale updates. This approach applies to evolutionary lines, regional variants, and shiny forms. These events usually center around the new Pokémon or a relevant theme, providing players with their first chance to catch them, alongside bonus rewards.

The Dual Destiny season's Fidough Fetch event marked the debut of the Paldean dog Pokémon, Fidough, and its evolution, Dachsbun. This guide details how to acquire both.

How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO

The Fidough Fetch event (January 4th-8th, 2025) was the primary method for obtaining Fidough. It appeared as a wild spawn alongside other canine Pokémon. Additionally, Fidough could be obtained through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.

Trading with other Trainers is another option. Online Pokémon GO communities (like Reddit or Discord) are good places to find trading partners.

Dachsbun wasn't available as a wild spawn. Trainers needed to either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Given Dachsbun's potential in battles, choosing a Fidough with high stats before evolution is recommended.

No, shiny Fidough and Dachsbun weren't released during their initial debut 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 their arrival.
