How to get Holiday Attire Dedenne in Pokemon GO, and can it be shiny?

With the start of Holiday Part 1 2024, trainers can get their hands on Holiday Attire Dedenne in Pokemon GO. This event also marks the debut of its shiny variation, although that is quite rare to encounter in the game. On December 17, 2024, these costumed Pokemon wearing winter-themed outfits will be available via one-star raids — the easiest battles to win. You must take the Raid Boss down to add both variants to your collection.

The first day of Holiday Part 1 2024 will also witness the release of Shiny Sandygast and Shiny Palossand via raids. This means you can get Holiday Attire Dedenne, its shiny variant, and the entire Shiny Sandygast family in Pokemon GO.
