    Niantic nerfs Pokemon Go Fidough Global Challenge to make it easier


    Pokemon Go is debuting Fidough at an event where players worldwide need to unlock it, and Niantic has made that task considerably easier by nerfing the throwing requirements.

    Pokemon Go Global Challenges involve all players contributing to a task to unlock something. The sheer number of people playing the game ensures that they’re completed with time to spare, as they usually involve something players do anyway, like catching lots of ‘Mons.

    The Fidough Fetch event began on January 3, and Niantic toned down one of the Global Challenge requirements, as announced on the Pokemon Go Twitter/X account. Originally, players had to “Make Nice Curveball Throws,” but they now only have to “Make Nice Throws.”

    Fidough Fetch now only requires Nice Throws to complete

    The purpose of the Global Challenge was for players to unlock Fidough and its evolution, Dachsbun. It seems that Niantic must have been unsure about the goal being met, as lowering the throw requirement means most people will contribute without even trying.

    Performing a Curveball throw in Pokemon Go used to be a lot easier, as the throwing reticle was more forgiving. As time passed, players needed to become more accurate with their throws, especially for smaller Pokemon.

    The spinning motion, combined with the strange angle, means that landing a Curveball can be a pain and sometimes requires a few throws to get right. Meanwhile, a standard Nice/Great/Excellent throw can be done in a straight line.

    In the future, Niantic shouldn’t bother with Global Challenges when tied to unlocking a Pokemon. It’s not as if Pokemon Go would never feature a popular Gen 9 ‘Mon like Fidough because the fans messed up a throwing event, so why not just put them in without requirements?

    The Fidough Fetch event only runs until January 7, so maybe it was the short event duration that made Niantic change the task? After all, bread must spend the correct amount of time in the oven before it’s ready to be taken out.



    Recently, Niantic announced that they will be nerfing the Pokemon Go Fidough Global Challenge to make it easier for players to complete. This decision comes after receiving feedback from the community that the challenge was too difficult and time-consuming.

    The Fidough Global Challenge tasks players with collecting a certain number of Fidoughs, a rare in-game currency, in order to unlock special rewards and bonuses. However, many players found it almost impossible to gather enough Fidoughs within the given time frame.

    In response to this feedback, Niantic has decided to lower the Fidough requirements for the challenge, making it more accessible to all players. This change is sure to be welcomed by many trainers who were struggling to complete the challenge.

    So get ready to jump back into the game and start collecting those Fidoughs, because the newly nerfed Global Challenge is now within reach for all Pokemon Go players!

  • Pokemon Go Fidough Event Just Got Even Easier

    Pokemon Go Fidough Event Just Got Even Easier


    After a few days of catching Pokemon in party hats, Pokemon Go fans are eager for the first new debut of 2025. The puppy Pokemon that resembles a baked good, Fidough, is set to make its first appearance in Pokemon Go as part of the Fidough Fetch challenge event. This debut has already garnered fan attention thanks to the lack of detail about how Fidough will be available once players meet Niantic’s challenge. And now, hours before the event actually begins, it’s catching eyes again thanks to a last-minute change of heart from Niantic.

    As originally written, the Fidough Fetch Global Challenge would require players around the world to make a certain number of Nice Curveball Throws to unlock various event rewards, including the debut of Fidough. However, Niantic apparently decided that was a bit too harsh a way to start off the new year, as a last-minute update reveals that the challenge will now feature Nice Throws, period. No curveballs required.

    Despite the promise that their blog post will help trainers learn more, Niantic did not divulge their reasons for switching up the effort level before the event even started. In the past, some Global Challenges have been tweaked once it became clear that players weren’t going to pull it off. But given that the global Pokemon GO community hadn’t even begun trying to throw those Nice Curveballs yet, it seems something else led to Niantic’s change of heart.

    Undoubtedly, Niantic has access to plenty of player data that might have led them to predict a challenging first event of the year with those curveballs still in the game. Perhaps this is their way of avoiding the need to pivot on the fly, based on the number of currently active players or other factors known only to the folks behind Pokemon Go. At any rate, it’s an interesting way to start 2025.

    Players Confused About Pokemon Go Fidough Fetch Event Start Time

    Even with the last-minute difficulty adjustment, players are feeling uncertain about this 2025 event. For starters, the switch-up with event timing has many Pokemon Go fans confused. Most events in the mobile game start based on local time, which leads many players to ask why they’re still not seeing the Fidough Fetch challenge at 3 PM on Friday January 3rd their time. Trainers can rest assured that it’s not a Niantic error (this time).

    The Fidough Fetch event will start at the same time globally, to account for the challenge factor. The event starts on Friday, January 3rd at 3 PM Pacific Standard Time – not 3 PM local time. That means players in other time zones may not actually see the challenge until January 4th, depending on where they’re located.

    Not much else about the event has changed, aside from the removal of the Curveball hurdle. Trainers will still need to meet the Level 2 challenge to unlock Fidough and its evolution, Dachsbun, in Pokemon Go. Trainers are also still wondering just how they’ll catch those two cute pups once they debut, as we still don’t know if they’ll be Wild Spawns, Raids, or Research Task rewards. As one player puts it, “Will Fidough spawn wild? Obviously not because we can’t have nice things.”

    Whatever the reason, Niantic’s made it that much easier for trainers around the world to unlock Fidough and figure out just how to get one for the Pokemon Go collection.





    Attention Pokemon Go trainers!

    We are excited to announce that the Fidough event in Pokemon Go just got even easier!

    During this event, you will have the opportunity to catch rare and exclusive Pokemon, as well as earn extra experience points and rewards.

    But now, we have made it even more accessible for all trainers to participate. We have increased the spawn rates of rare Pokemon, reduced the difficulty of raids, and added more opportunities to earn rewards through various tasks and challenges.

    So grab your Pokeballs and get ready to catch ‘em all during the Fidough event! Happy hunting, trainers!

    Fidough Fetch sees the release of Fidough and Dachsbun – the pastry dogs from Gen 9 – debut in Pokémon Go!

    The Dual Destiny Season is here! The Fidough Fetch event sees the release of Fidough and Dachsbun in Pokémon Go.

    You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest.

    Don’t forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you’re hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.

    Everything you need to know about the Fidough Fetch event in Pokémon Go

    Fidough Fetch breaks Pokémon Go’s tradition of keeping to local times for the beginning and end of an event, so, if you’re looking for when this event is occurring, head to the first section of this guide. For now, let’s take a look at the bonuses and there is… one. To begin with. It’s a good one though if you’re in need of a shiny Voltorb or Electrike as you’ll have an increased chance of encountering both.


    Dachsbun.

    Additional bonuses, such as double catch XP, will be unlocked as players complete the Global Challenges running throughout the event, which you can learn more about in the section above.

    The main attraction of this event, however, is revealed in its name – the release of Fidough and Dachsbun from Gen 9. These dogs are literally made of pastry. Fidough’s official Pokédex describes it as being ‘smooth and moist to the touch’ and that the ‘Yeast in Fidough’s breath induces fermentation’. Life finds a way I guess. (Though it also puts you at risk of being eaten by a hungry Pokémon trainer.)

    You’ll need 50 Fidough Candy to evolve (or bake) this little pastry dog into a Dachsbun. First, however, you need to wait for Level Two of the Global Challenges to be completed before Fidough is released. Once that happens, we’ll all be able to catch this delicious confection – I mean, Pokémon.

    Outside of Fidough’s release, there will also be a selection of event-exclusive research tasks to complete and PokéStop Showcases to partake in.

    Finally, the following Pokémon will be appearing more frequently in the wild:

    • Growlithe
    • Voltorb
    • Snubbull
    • Poochyena
    • Electrike
    • Lillipup




    Growlithe and Poochyena are appearing more frequently in the wild during Fidough Fetch.

    Hope you enjoy the Fidough Fetch event!
