Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, often releasing them gradually rather than in large batches. New evolution lines, regional variants, and shiny forms are typically unveiled through events and special opportunities. These events often center around the new Pokémon or a relevant theme, providing players with chances to catch them and earn bonuses.

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 alongside other canine Pokémon. Trainers could also find Fidough through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.

Alternatively, trading with other Trainers is a viable method to obtain either Fidough or Dachsbun. Online Pokémon GO communities like Reddit or Discord are good places to find trading partners.

Since Dachsbun doesn't appear in the wild, Trainers must either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Dachsbun's strong battle performance makes it a valuable asset for future events, PvP, and NPC battles. Consider comparing the stats of your Fidough before evolving to choose the best one.

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 with Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will have to wait for a future opportunity.
