Introducing Galar Pokémon in Next Pokémon GO Event

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 player wish and expands the game's Galar region Pokémon roster.

The event's arrival was subtly foreshadowed in December 2024's Dual Destiny Season loading screen, which featured Rookidee and Corviknight before their official announcement.

The Steely Resolve event is packed with activities:

• New Pokémon: Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight make their Pokémon GO debut.
• Special Research: A new Dual Destiny Special Research questline offers unique rewards.
• Field Research Tasks: Complete tasks for various in-game rewards.
• Shiny Pokémon Encounters: Increased chances to encounter shiny versions of several Pokémon.
• Bonuses: Magnetic Lure Modules attract specific Pokémon, including Onix, Beldum, Shieldon, and Rookidee. Charged TMs can remove the Frustration Charged Attack from Shadow Pokémon. Increased spawns of Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, Carbink, and others.

The event also features:

• Raids: One-star, five-star (Deoxys, Dialga), and Mega raids (Mega Gallade, Mega Medicham) offer challenging battles and potential rewards.
• 2km Eggs: Increased chances of hatching Shieldon, Carbink, Mareanie, and Rookidee (shiny possibilities).
• Featured Attacks: Evolving specific Pokémon during the event grants them powerful, event-exclusive attacks (e.g., Corviknight learning Iron Head).
• GO Battle Week (Dual Destiny): From January 21st to 26th, enjoy 4x Stardust from battle rewards, increased daily battle sets, free Timed Research with Grimsley-inspired avatar rewards, and varied Pokémon stats in GO Battle League rewards.

Beyond the Corviknight line's debut, January also sees the return of Shadow Ho-Oh in Shadow Raids, the commencement of Dynamax raids featuring the Kanto Legendary Birds (January 20th - February 3rd), and the resurgence of the Pokémon GO Community Day Classic. This makes for a busy and exciting start to the year for Pokémon GO players.
