How to Get Holiday Ribbon Cubchoo in Pokemon GO

Holiday Cubchoo is a special costume variant Pokemon that is generally only obtainable through Pokemon GO’s annual winter holiday-themed events. For 2025, Cubchoo is returning to both the Winter Holiday Part 1 and Winter Holiday Part 2 events, where it will be available as a hatch spawn from 7km Eggs.

Of course, this means that players will need to stock up on Egg Incubators if they wish to farm as many hatches as possible, as this is one of the slower methods for hunting/obtaining particular monsters. At the very least, there is only a handful of other monsters that can hatch from these Eggs, so you should have roughly a one-in-five chance of hatching a Holiday Cubchoo from 7km Eggs during these Pokemon GO events.

Here is a complete list of all Pokemon obtainable from 7km Egg hatches during the Winter Holiday Part 1 & Part 2 events in Pokemon GO:

Can You Get Shiny Holiday Ribbon Cubchoo in Pokemon GO?

Yes, Holiday Cubchoo is also available as a shiny in Pokemon GO. However, there is no guarantee that players will be able to obtain one, as it all comes down to the random luck of beating the rare shiny odds. Being restricted to only Egg hatch methods for acquiring Holiday Cubchoo also makes it difficult, as more spawns equal more chances, and Eggs can be time-consuming.

Thankfully, during the 2025 Pokemon GO Winter Holiday event, Holiday Cubchoo (as well as Festive Hat Pichu) have boosted chances of hatching from 7km Eggs as shiny. Players will simply need to farm as many Egg hatch spawns as possible to try and get one of the shiny monsters.
