Pokemon Go Christmas event END TIME, as Lugia and Ho-Oh join January Field Research

collected by :Syrena Smith

Pokemon Go's Christmas event is coming to an end, as Niantic gets ready to pull the plug on the festive bonuses. The Pokemon Go Christmas event ends at 9pm UK time on January 2. This gives fans a limited time to capture festive Pokemon like Delibird and Santa Hat Pikachu. The gift-giving Pocket Monster is joined by lots of Ice-type Pokemon such as Jynx, Sneasel, Swinub, Snorunt, Spheal, and Snover. As an added bonus, hatching distances have been halved by Niantic, but only until the end of the event.
