• How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO
• Can Fidough & Dachsbun Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?

Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, often releasing them gradually through events rather than large-scale updates. This phased approach includes evolution lines, regional variants, and shiny forms, often tied to themed in-game events. These events provide opportunities to acquire new Pokémon and earn 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 Trainers can add these Pokémon to their collection.

How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO

Fidough and Dachsbun were introduced during the Fidough Fetch event (January 4th-8th, 2025). Fidough appeared as a wild spawn, increasing encounter chances for Trainers. It was also available through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.

Trainers can also obtain Fidough or Dachsbun through trading with other players. Online Pokémon GO communities, like Reddit or Discord, are helpful resources for finding trading partners.

Since Dachsbun doesn't appear in the wild, Trainers must either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Consider comparing the stats of multiple Fidough before evolving, as Dachsbun is a valuable Pokémon for battles and future events.

Can Fidough & Dachsbun Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?

Currently, shiny Fidough and Dachsbun are unavailable. While their standard forms debuted during the Dual Destiny season, shiny variants haven't been released. However, future events may introduce shiny versions, as is common practice with Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will need to patiently await future opportunities.
