Holiday 2016

For other editions of Holiday, see Holiday 2017 and Holiday 2018.

Holiday in 2016 is the first Holiday event in Pokémon GO.

Features

Each day during the event, trainers were awarded a single-use Egg Incubator when they visited their first PokéStop of the day. There was also a greater chance of obtaining Pokémon Eggs which would hatch Baby Pokémon from Johto region. ^[1]

Lure Modules' duration were also increased up to a whole hour, rather than their normal 30 minutes. ^[1]

Featured Pokémon

Two weeks prior to this event, on December 12^th, 2016, Johto-region Baby Pokémon were released. Pikachu and Raichu wearing festive hats began to circulate the same day. They were available until the end of this Holiday event, ^[2] and any captured would persist in the inventory if not transferred. ^[3]

Additionally, from the afternoon of December 30^th, 2016, through the afternoon of January 8^th 2017 (PST), starter Pokémon and their evolved forms were encountered more often. ^[1]
