Pokémon GO's approach to new Pokémon releases is gradual, often introducing evolution lines, regional variants, and shiny forms through events and special opportunities rather than large-scale updates. These events typically focus on the new Pokémon and offer bonuses and rewards.

The Dual Destiny season introduced Fidough and its evolution, Dachsbun, via the Fidough Fetch event (January 4th-8th, 2025). This guide explains how to obtain them.

During the Fidough Fetch event, Fidough appeared in the wild as well as in Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges. This provided multiple ways to catch it.

Alternatively, trading with other Trainers is a viable option. Online Pokémon GO communities like Reddit and Discord are excellent resources for finding trading partners.

Dachsbun doesn't appear in the wild. You'll need to either trade for one or evolve your Fidough using 50 candies. Consider comparing the stats of multiple Fidough before evolving, as Dachsbun is a strong battler useful in events, PvP, and NPC battles.

No, shiny Fidough and Dachsbun weren't released during the Dual Destiny season. However, future events may introduce shiny variants, as is common with Pokémon GO. Until then, Trainers will have to wait for a future opportunity.
