Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, often releasing them gradually through events rather than large-scale updates. This phased approach applies to evolution lines, regional variants, and shiny forms. Events centered around specific Pokémon or themes provide opportunities for acquisition and offer 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. Additionally, Fidough was obtainable through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.

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

Since Dachsbun doesn't appear in the wild, obtaining it requires either trading or evolving 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 (as of the Dual Destiny Season), shiny Fidough and Dachsbun are unavailable. However, future events may introduce shiny variants, as is common practice with Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will need to await further announcements.
