Pokémon GO Announces Final Dyna Fight Day of 2025 with Gigantamax Snorlax Return
Pokémon GO trainers, prepare for one last major event before the year ends. Niantic has announced the final Dyna Fight Day of 2025, scheduled for Sunday, December 14th, featuring the return of the popular Gigantamax Snorlax.
What is a Dyna Fight Day?
A Dyna Fight Day is a limited-time event within Pokémon GO, lasting just three hours. During this window, players can challenge the featured Gigantamax Pokémon at various power sources. These power sources experience increased spawn rates, and players receive significant bonuses to aid in collecting Dyna Particles.
Event Details: Date, Time, and Featured Pokémon
The event will run from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on December 14, 2025. Unlike previous Dyna Fight Days that introduced new Pokémon, this event focuses on bringing back a fan-favorite: Gigantamax Snorlax. Players who previously encountered and caught this powerful form will have another opportunity to do so, and potentially obtain the elusive shiny variant.
Bonuses to Enhance Your Raids
Niantic is offering a suite of bonuses to maximize the Dyna Fight Day experience. During the event, players can expect:
- An increased Dyna Particle collection limit of 1,600 particles.
- More frequent respawns of power sources.
- Gigantamax Snorlax appearing at all power sources.
- 8x the amount of Dyna Particles from power sources.
- 2 additional special swaps during raids.
- An increased remote raid limit of 20 (from December 14, 2025, at 2:00 a.m. to December 15, 2025, at 5:00 a.m.).
Furthermore, additional bonuses will be active from December 14, 2025, at 0:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. including:
- Double Dyna Particles when walking.
- 1/4 the usual running distance for earning Dyna Particles.
Additional Content and Ticketed Research
Trainers can also participate in free, limited-time research starting on December 8, 2025, at 6:00 a.m., offering rewards such as candies, Dyna Particles, and a Dynamax Machollo.
For those seeking an even greater advantage, a ticket priced at $4.99 (approximately €5.49) is available. This ticket unlocks exclusive research tasks that reward a Dyna Mushroom and 25,000 experience points. Ticket holders will also receive double XP for Dyna battles and an increased Dyna Particle limit of 5,600 during the event.
Community Focus: Stardust as the Real Reward
While the return of Gigantamax Snorlax is generating excitement, much of the community conversation centers around the potential for accumulating stardust. “Well, I’m stardust poor,” one trainer commented on Reddit, echoing a sentiment shared by many. Another simply stated, “Stardust!”
A successful battle against a Gigantamax monster yields 25,000 stardust, a figure that can be boosted to 37,500 with a Star Piece. However, trainers acknowledge that these battles present a significant challenge, requiring coordinated efforts from multiple players with strong Pokémon. As one player noted, “Useless Pokémon, but the stardust is really good.”
As December progresses, Pokémon GO players have more events to look forward to. A comprehensive overview of all December 2025 events is available for those seeking to plan their gameplay.
