How to prepare for the New Year's 2024 event in Pokemon GO

Managing Pokemon Storage

The most important Pokemon during this event are the shiny costumed ones (discussed below). You will most likely want to grind for these rare monsters during the New Year’s 2024 event in GO.

So, making space for new monsters in your Pokemon Storage must be a big priority. You should try to trade or transfer all the unwanted Pokemon in your storage whenever you are not playing the game.

Managing Item Storage

Berries will not be required during this event in GO. Since there aren’t any new Pokemon debuts, you will not need any Pinap Berries. Most creatures are easy to catch, so you will not need Razz Berries either.

You can allocate the majority of your item storage to balls to catch the monsters.

Is it worth playing the New Year's 2024 event in Pokemon GO?

Ribbon Jigglypuff, along with its shiny variant, will debut during this event in GO. If you like to hunt shiny monsters in this game, you will have a lot of fun hunting for this creature.

Furthermore, the hatch pool of 7 km Eggs during this event is going to feature a lot of rare monsters:

• Party Hat Pichu (can be shiny)
• Elekid (can be shiny)
• Cleffa (can be shiny)

So, if you do not have these monsters in your collection, you might want to play during this event. Also, if you have a lot of 12 km Eggs, use the one-fourth Egg Hatch Distance to clear the stockpile of these Eggs.
