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 specific in-game events and challenges. These events provide players with opportunities to acquire new Pokémon, earn bonuses, and complete their Pokédex.

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 collections.

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 could be obtained via Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.

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

Since Dachsbun doesn't appear in the wild, Trainers must either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Evolving a Fidough with strong stats is recommended, 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 Pokémon GO frequently releases shiny forms for existing Pokémon through timed events. Until then, Trainers will need to wait for future opportunities.
