Pokémon GO strategically introduces new Pokémon, rather than a massive simultaneous release. Evolution lines, regional variants, and shiny forms often debut via in-game events. These events usually center around the new Pokémon or a related theme, offering players their first chance to catch them and earn bonuses.

The Dual Destiny season's Fidough Fetch event marked the arrival of the Paldean dog Pokémon, Fidough, and its evolution, Dachsbun. This guide explains how to acquire them.

How to Get Fidough & Dachsbun in Pokémon GO

The Fidough Fetch event (January 4th-8th, 2025) introduced Fidough as a wild spawn. Trainers could encounter and catch it. Additionally, Fidough was available via Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges.

Trading with other Trainers is another option. Pokémon GO forums (like Reddit or Discord) are good places to find trading partners.

Dachsbun doesn't appear in the wild. Trainers must either trade for it or evolve a Fidough using 50 Candies. Consider evolving your strongest Fidough, as Dachsbun is a capable battler useful in events, PvP, and against NPCs.
