POKÉMON Go is known for celebrating the frosty season in style, and this year is no different.
While there have been a number of icy challenges so far, this week things are really ramping up.
Kyurem will be coming to raids.
There are new costumed Pokémon, and the ‘mons that appear most commonly are continuing on the Ice-type theme.
Here’s everything that’s happening the week of December 26, 2022 to January 1, 2023 in Pokémon Go.
Cubchoo takes the spotlight
Spotlight hour will take place on Tuesday, December 27, 2022 from 6pm local time.
The adorable polar bear cub with the permanently hanging snot bubble is the final spotlight Pokémon of 2022.
As part of the event, any Pokémon you send to the professor during this hour will offer double candy.
This is also a great chance to catch enough Cubchoo to evolve it into Beartic, quite a fearsome Ice-type ‘mon.
Kyurem takes over during raid hour
Raid hour will take place on Wednesday, December 28, 2022 from 6pm local time.
The best part of Kyurem returning to raids this week, is that the Ice-type legendary will come with a new-move Glaciate.
This will make it particularly strong in PvP battles. The Ultra League and Master League will be available this week, making this a good Pokémon to prepare.
During raid hour Kyurem will be available in every gym giving you a good chance to get your own one.
Go Battle League changes once more
The Pokémon Go Battle League will change on Thursday, December 29, 2022 from 8pm UK time.
The Ultra League will be replaced by the Master League this week, giving unlimited potential for teams.
The Holiday Cup will also return, but the Great League will be replaced by the Ultra League.
This means that Pokémon up to 2.5k CP that belong to the Normal, Grass, Electric, Ice, Flying or Ghost types can be used.
You will also receive triple the stardust for victories during the duration of both competitions, so participating in PvP is especially rewarding.
Pokémon Go celebrates the New Year with a new event
The New Year’s event will take place on Saturday, December 31, 2022 from 8pm local time.
Until January 4, 2023 costumed Pokémon will appear more commonly as part of a New Year’s event.
They will be wearing party hats, top hats, and bow ties, to join in with the festivities.
This is a good chance to pick up a number of event Pokémon which won’t appear again for some time.
