In keeping with the contemplative time, it will also be Christmassy in Pokémon GO. Yes some Monsters go especially well with Christmas. We at MeinMMO will show you what they are and whether you can actually catch them in the game at the moment.
What monsters are they about? Lots of wintry monsters are currently spawning in Pokémon GO for the Christmas event. But one or the other specimen from the Pokémon universe goes particularly well with the contemplative time. In the following ranking, we show you 9 Pokémon that are perfect for Christmas because of their festive appearance or their story.
We start our list with the monsters that you might not associate with Christmas at first glance and end with the Pokémon that most obviously fits the festive season.
9. Frigometry
Why does the monster go so well with Christmas? Something that should not be missing at Christmas is snow. So which monster is better than Frigometri? The Ice Pokémon from the 5th generation of games is reminiscent of a snowflake and could therefore ensure a white winter wonderland, at least in Pokémon GO.
Can you catch it in Pokémon GO? Yes, Frigometri can be found in Pokémon GO to match the season and Christmas. With a bit of luck you can meet him in the wild. However, its dazzling form is not yet available in-game.
8. Klingplim
Why does the monster go so well with Christmas? Klingplim is the pre-evolution of the Psychic Pokémon Palimpalim. Visually, the little monster is supposed to represent a golden bell. For this reason it is also such a perfect candidate for the Christmas festival.
During the Advent season, many people decorate their windows and Christmas tree with small bells, which is why Klingplim should not be missing. The red and white striped ribbons on the Pokémon’s head also pick up on the typical festive colors of the Advent season.
Can you catch it in Pokémon GO? Klingplim is already available in Pokémon GO and can currently be found in the 5 km eggs. Unlike its evolution, Palimpalim, you can’t get it in its dazzling form just yet.
7. Rossana
Why does the monster go so well with Christmas? Because of its ice type alone, Rossana is a suitable monster for the cold season. However, anyone who knows the Pokémon anime about Ash and his friends knows that Rossana is so much more. In the episode “Rossana’s Odyssey” it works as Santa’s assistant. So, of course, Rossana should not be missing at the party.
By the way: Rossana has other interesting facts ready. We have summarized what these are in the following article.
Pokemon GO: 4 cool facts every fan needs to know about Rossana – Especially for Christmas
Can you catch it in Pokémon GO? Yes, Rossana has been available to catch in Pokémon GO for quite a while. With a bit of luck, you might even encounter a dazzling specimen.
6. Voltrian
Why does the monster go so well with Christmas? A monster that at first glance is also less likely to be associated with Christmas is Voltriant. This Pokémon is an Ultra Beast that enters the world of Pokémon GO through an Ultra Portal from another dimension.
Nevertheless, Voltriant has a striking appearance, which could generally go well with the Christmas season. The Electric Pokémon’s body resembles a chain of lights. And as is well known, these are used particularly often during the Christmas season to decorate houses or the Christmas tree.
Can you catch it in Pokémon GO? Yes, Voltriant has been available in special level 5 raids several times in the past. At the moment, however, the ultra beasts in Pokémon GO do not play a role, which is why you will not find the monster there during the Christmas season.
Our author Max explains to you here why the ultra beasts are actually pure horror, but you don’t even notice it in Pokémon GO.
5. Damhirplex
Why does the monster go so well with Christmas? Another monster that should not be missing at Christmas time is Damhirplex. The normal Pokémon from the second generation of games is visually reminiscent of a kind of reindeer, which is known to fit perfectly with Santa Claus.
It can also be found with a bell collar around the holiday season, again a reminder that Damhirplex would be great for pulling Santa’s sleigh.
With the introduction of the Hisui region, it finally got the evolution Damythir in the main game Pokémon Legends: Arceus, which looks even more wintry. Using its psychic powers, it is also able to warp space and create invisible walls. Surely this could come in handy for Santa when delivering his presents.
Can you catch it in Pokémon GO? You can catch Damhirplex in Pokémon GO for some time. With a bit of luck, you might even come across a dazzling specimen in the wild. However, its further development is not yet available in the game.
4. light el
Why does the monster go so well with Christmas? To shorten the waiting time for Christmas, many people light candles on the Sundays in Advent. And real candles can also be found in one or the other Christmas tree. So which monster should fit better in this context than Lichtel?
The ghost and fire Pokémon usually play a more central role in the game around Halloween, but would also fit perfectly into the contemplative time due to its candle-like appearance.
By the way: With Skelabra, Lichtel also has a really strong further development. The monster can fall back on strong attack values and attacks, which is why it is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
We have summarized other strong attackers in Pokémon GO in the following video:

Can you catch it in Pokémon GO? Lichtel can be found in the game throughout the year. In October 2022, for example, it had its own Community Day, on which it could also be caught in its dazzling form for the first time. During the Christmas event, however, it is not expected to play a role in Pokémon GO.
3. Mega Gewaldro
Why does the monster go so well with Christmas? Mega Swordsman is the temporary Mega Evolution of the Grass-type Pokémon Swordsman. This has a green body with a long, bushy tail resembling a fir tree.
In its mega evolution, the monster’s back also has numerous balls of different colors and the fir-like tail comes into its own even more clearly. Mega Squirrel thus resembles a decorated Christmas tree, making it a perfect candidate for the holidays.
Can you catch it in Pokémon GO? Mega Slayer has recently become active in Pokémon GO and can be triggered by using 200 Mega Energy on a Slayer. You can occasionally find his pre-development Geckarbor in the game and develop it accordingly via Reptain to Gewaldro.
With a bit of luck, you might even discover a dazzling specimen. During the Christmas event, however, Gewaldro and his pre-developments play a lesser role.
2. Jirachi
Why does the monster go so well with Christmas? One monster many trainers would see during the Christmas event is Jirachi. The mysterious Pokémon is considered a so-called “Wish Pokémon”.
According to legend, the monster falls asleep for a thousand years. During this time, humans can attach their wishes to the Pokémon’s body, which it will fulfill as soon as it wakes up from its sleep.
During the Christmas season, too, everything revolves around the topic of wishes, which is why Jirachi fits in perfectly with the contemplative time and could spend one or the other Christmas miracle. With his distinctive head shape, Jirachi would also look great at the top of the Christmas tree.
Can you catch it in Pokémon GO? Yes, Jirachi could already be caught through the special research “A Thousand Year Sleep” in the past. However, it has not reappeared since then.
However, recent discoveries of the Pokéminers indicate that a dazzling form could soon be found in the game. It remains to be seen whether this will happen as a spontaneous surprise at the end of the year, or whether Jirachi will be part of the Hoenn tour next year.
1. Botogel
Why does the monster go so well with Christmas? The monster that most obviously goes with Christmas is Botogel. The ice and flying Pokémon is visually reminiscent of Santa Claus himself.
The penguin-like monster has bushy white plumage on its face, reminiscent of a full beard. The rest of his body is red, like Santa’s coat. The Pokémon also has a long sack-like tail that it holds in its hand. In this it stows numerous objects, such as food or herbs. This is reminiscent of a gift bag.
Can you catch it in Pokémon GO? Yes, Botogel can be caught in the wild, especially during the cold season. With a bit of luck, you might even come across a dazzling specimen. And Botogel is always an integral part of the Christmas event.
Which Pokémon do you think are perfect for the holiday season? And are you hoping for a chance for a dazzling Jirachi soon? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and talk to other trainers about this topic.
