Guide: Obtain Fidough, Dachsbun in 'Pokémon GO' (Shiny Variants?)

Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, often rolling them out gradually through events rather than massive updates. This approach applies to evolutionary 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. Trainers could acquire these Pokémon through various methods to complete their Pokédex or enhance their battling teams. This guide details how to obtain both.

How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO

The Fidough Fetch event (January 4-8, 2025) was the primary way to acquire Fidough and Dachsbun. Fidough appeared as a wild spawn alongside other canine Pokémon. It was also obtainable through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.

Trading with other Trainers is another option. Online Pokémon GO communities like Reddit or Discord can help you find trading partners.

Dachsbun didn't appear in the wild. Trainers needed to either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Given Dachsbun's potential in battles, choosing a Fidough with strong stats before evolution is recommended.

Can Fidough & Dachsbun Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?

No, shiny Fidough and Dachsbun weren't available during their initial release in the Dual Destiny season. However, future events may introduce shiny variants, as is common practice with Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will need to patiently await future opportunities.
