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 opportunities to acquire new Pokémon and earn bonuses.

The Dual Destiny season featured the "Fidough Fetch" event, marking the debut of the Paldean dog Pokémon, Fidough, and its evolution, Dachsbun. This guide details how to obtain both Pokémon.

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 obtainable through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.

Trainers could also acquire Fidough or Dachsbun through trading. Online Pokémon GO communities like Reddit or Discord are helpful resources for finding trading partners.

Since Dachsbun doesn't appear in the wild, Trainers needed to either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Evolving a Fidough with high stats is recommended, as Dachsbun is a valuable Pokémon for battles and future events.

Can Fidough & Dachsbun Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?

As of the Dual Destiny season, shiny Fidough and Dachsbun were unavailable. However, future events may introduce shiny variants, as is common practice with Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will have to wait for a future opportunity.
