Pokemon GO Adding Galar Pokemon in Upcoming 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 addition significantly expands the Galar region Pokémon roster within the game.

The arrival was initially hinted at in December 2024's Dual Destiny Season loading screen, featuring Rookidee and Corviknight, sparking community speculation. Now confirmed, the event offers multiple ways to encounter this trio.

Event Highlights:

• New Pokémon: Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight make their Pokémon GO debut.
• Special Research: A Dual Destiny Special Research storyline provides new rewards.
• Field Research Tasks: Complete tasks for additional encounters and items.
• Increased Spawns: Boosted spawn rates for Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, Carbink, and other Pokémon (some shiny-capable).
• Bonuses: Charged TMs can remove Frustration from Shadow Pokémon; Magnetic Lure Modules attract specific Pokémon, including Rookidee, Onix, and Beldum.
• Raids: One-star, five-star (featuring Deoxys and Dialga), and Mega raids offer various encounter opportunities. Several raid bosses are shiny-capable.
• 2km Eggs: Hatch Shieldon, Carbink, Mareanie, and Rookidee (some shiny-capable).
• Featured Attacks: Evolving specific Pokémon during the event grants them unique powerful moves (e.g., Corviknight learning Iron Head).
• GO Battle League: GO Battle Week runs concurrently, offering increased Stardust rewards, expanded daily battle limits, and a free Timed Research with Grimsley-inspired avatar rewards. Various leagues (Master, Great, Ultra) will be active.

The Steely Resolve event also includes a $5 Paid Timed Research and various in-game shop offers. The event builds on the excitement generated by recent additions such as Shadow Raids (including Shadow Ho-Oh's return), Dynamax raids featuring Kanto Legendary Birds, and the upcoming return of the Community Day Classic. This packed schedule ensures a dynamic and engaging start to the year for Pokémon GO players.
