Hisuian Raid Days & More Events Come To Pokémon GO In 2024

With the full slate of January 2024 events announced by Niantic for Pokémon GO, let's analyze what we know about this upcoming schedule.

While all of the events have been announced for Pokémon GO in January 2024, there are precious few details about what will actually happen in the events. Let's take a look at the event titles and use past context to analyze what we may be getting.

Here are the events coming to Pokémon GO in January 2024:

• January 1st – January 3rd, 2024: New Year's 2024 Event

This event has been fully announced. Please scroll to the end of the article to read the details.

• January 6th, 2024: Rowlet Community Day

This event has also been fully announced. You can read about it here.

• January 6th – January 10th, 2024: Lustrous Odyssey Event

This is almost certainly a sequel to the Adamant Time event, which focused on Kanto. This will likely focus on Johto, as we count down the region-based events leading to Pokémon GO Tour Sinnoh.

• January 13th – January 16th, 2024: Dazzling Dream Event

This could be the Hoenn-themed event, but I doubt it. This seems like an event that may focus on Fairy-type Pokémon.

• January 14th, 2024: Hisuian Typhlosion Raid Day

This Hisuian Raid Days continue, with Decidueye surely scheduled for February.

• January 20th, 2024: Community Day Classic

This is rumored to feature Porygon.

• January 19th – January 24th, 2024: Raging Battles Event & GO Battle Week

GO Battle League doesn't generally draw non-PvP-focused players… unless they're offering amazing encounters. Let's cross our fingers.

• January 27th – January 28th, 2024: Shadow Ho-Oh Raid Weekend

This will surely be the release of Shiny Shadow Ho-Oh.

• January 27th – February 1st, 2024: Taken Treasures Event

This seems like it may be a Team GO Rocket event.

Here's what's happening for the New Year's 2024 event in Pokémon GO:

• Date and time: Monday, January 1, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. to Wednesday, January 3, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. local time. It's a shame that this one doesn't start on New Year's Eve or at least midnight, as that would bring some excitement and holiday cheer to the event.
• New costumed Pokémon: While there will be no new species or Shiny releases, we will get a new costumed Pokémon. Jigglypuff, featuring a ribbon with a plaid design, will be featured as an encounter. It can be Shiny and can be evolved into Wigglytuff wearing a ribbon.

  • "Please note that Timed Research expires. The tasks associated with this Timed Research must be completed and their rewards must be claimed before January 3, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. local time.
