• 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 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 chances to catch them and earn bonuses.

The Dual Destiny season introduced Fidough and its evolution, Dachsbun, as part of the Fidough Fetch event. This guide details how to acquire these Paldean canine Pokémon.

How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO

Fidough and Dachsbun debuted during the Pokémon GO Dual Destiny Season's Fidough Fetch event (January 4th-8th, 2025). Fidough appeared as a wild spawn, increasing encounter opportunities. Additionally, it was available through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.

Players could also trade for Fidough or Dachsbun. Online communities like Reddit or Discord are helpful for finding trading partners.

Since Dachsbun wasn't a wild spawn, obtaining it required either trading or evolving a Fidough using 50 Candies. Consider comparing Fidough stats before evolving, as Dachsbun is a strong battler useful for events, PvP, and NPC battles.

Can Fidough & Dachsbun Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?

As of the Dual Destiny season, shiny Fidough and Dachsbun weren't available. However, future events may introduce shiny variants, as is common with Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will need to patiently await future opportunities.
