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 bonus rewards.

The Dual Destiny season introduced Fidough and its evolution, Dachsbun, through the Fidough Fetch event (January 4-8, 2025). This event provided several ways for Trainers to add these Paldean canine Pokémon to their Pokédex.

During the Fidough Fetch event, Fidough appeared as a wild spawn alongside other canine Pokémon. It was also available through Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges. Trainers could obtain multiple Fidough through these methods.

Alternatively, trading with other players is another option. Online Pokémon GO communities like Reddit and Discord are good places to find trading partners.

Dachsbun doesn't appear in the wild. To obtain it, Trainers needed to evolve a Fidough using 50 candies. It's recommended to compare the stats of your Fidough before evolving to choose the strongest one, as Dachsbun is a valuable Pokémon for battles and future events.

Shiny Fidough and Dachsbun were not available during the Dual Destiny season. However, future events may introduce shiny variants, as Pokémon GO frequently releases shiny forms of existing Pokémon through limited-time opportunities. Until then, Trainers will have to wait for a future event.
