Pokémon GO: New Year’s Event 2023 – Start date and time
When will the 2023 New Year event take place in Pokémon GO? It’s no surprise that Niantic kicks off its 2023 New Year’s Eve event on New Year’s Eve. However, if you have other plans for New Year’s Eve and don’t just want to play Pokémon GO, you don’t have to worry about missing out. The 2023 New Year event will be a few days longer than that. The event will take place in Pokémon GO on the following days:
- Event start: Saturday, December 31, 2022 from 8:00 PM (local time)
- Event end: Wednesday, January 4, 2023 at 8:00 PM (local time)

What rewards are active during the event? This time around, the event is especially useful if you still have a few Pokémon Eggs to hatch. Unfortunately, the 2023 New Year event does not have a Stardust bonus. You can still look forward to the following rewards:
- All Pokémon eggs placed in an incubator during the 2023 New Year event will hatch twice as fast.
- The first three eggs you hatch with the new Pokémon GO tool during the New Year’s event will have the hatching distance quartered. (On Android and iOS, you have to add the widget to your smartphone’s home screen.)
Do not forget: While the reduced hatching distance is a really glaring bonus in the Pokémon GO New Year’s event, unfortunately the two bonuses can’t be combined. Niantic specifically mentioned this on their website.
These raids will take place during the event: During the five-day event, there are also raids of different difficulty levels. In this overview, you can see which Pokemon you have to deal with.
Level 1 raids | Bulbasaur with party hat*, Charmander with party hat*, Squirtle with party hat*, Pikachu with party top hat*, Hoothoot with new year outfit |
