Pokémon Go is having a global challenge event themed around dog-like Pokémon, called “Fidough Fetch.” Rather than running in your local time, the event will take place at a global time. The event starts on Jan. 3 at 6 p.m. EST and ends on Jan. 8 at 1 a.m. EST.
The meat of this event is the global challenge, which requires players to make nice throws in exchange for some pretty good bonuses.
Below, we list the event perks for Pokémon Go’s “Fidough Fetch” event, including the global challenge rewards and Field Research tasks.
