Explore Galar's Wonders: Pokémon GO Event Unveils New Pokémon

The Steely Resolve event in Pokémon GO, running from January 21st to 26th, marks the highly anticipated debut of the Corviknight evolutionary line: Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight. This arrival fulfills a long-standing community wish, expanding the Galar region Pokémon roster within the game.

The event's announcement follows a subtle hint – the appearance of Rookidee and Corviknight in the Dual Destiny Season loading screen unveiled in December 2024. The Steely Resolve event will include:

• New Pokémon: Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight will make their first appearance.
• Special Research: A new Dual Destiny Special Research storyline will offer unique rewards.
• Field Research Tasks: Players can complete tasks to earn various in-game items and encounters.
• Shiny Pokémon: Increased chances to encounter shiny versions of several Pokémon, including Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, and Mareanie.
• Bonuses: Magnetic Lure Modules will attract specific Pokémon, and Charged TMs can remove the Frustration Charged Attack from Shadow Pokémon. Increased spawns for ten Pokémon, including Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, and Carbink, will also be featured.

The event also features:

• Raids: One-star, five-star (featuring Deoxys and Dialga), and Mega raids will be available, offering opportunities for rare Pokémon encounters.
• 2km Eggs: Shieldon, Carbink, Mareanie, and Rookidee will hatch from 2km Eggs.
• Featured Attacks: Evolving specific Pokémon during the event will grant them powerful, event-exclusive attacks. This includes Corviknight learning Iron Head.
• GO Battle Week: Running concurrently, this event offers increased Stardust rewards, expanded battle limits, and a free battle-themed Timed Research.

Beyond the Corviknight line debut, January also sees the return of Shadow Ho-Oh in Shadow Raids, Dynamax raids featuring the Kanto Legendary Birds, and the return of the Pokémon GO Community Day Classic. This makes for a jam-packed start to the year for Pokémon GO players. The event runs from 10 AM on January 21st to 8 PM on January 26th, local time.
