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 arrival fulfills a long-standing community wish, adding to the game's Galar region Pokémon roster.

The event's arrival was subtly foreshadowed in December 2024's Dual Destiny Season loading screen, featuring 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 will offer unique rewards.
• Field Research Tasks: Expect a variety of challenges with corresponding rewards.
• Shiny Pokémon Encounters: Increased chances to encounter shiny versions of several Pokémon.
• Bonuses: Use Charged TMs to remove Frustration from Shadow Pokémon. Magnetic Lure Modules will attract specific Pokémon, including Onix, Beldum, Shieldon, and Rookidee.
• Increased Spawns: Boosted spawns for Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, Carbink, and others.
• Raids: One-star, five-star (featuring Deoxys and Dialga), and Mega raids will be available.
• 2km Eggs: Hatch Shieldon, Carbink, Mareanie, and Rookidee.
• Featured Attacks: Evolving specific Pokémon during the event will grant them unique powerful attacks. This includes Corviknight learning Iron Head.
• GO Battle Week: Dual Destiny: Running concurrently, this offers 4x Stardust from win rewards, increased daily battle sets, and free battle-themed Timed Research.

The event also features several active leagues within the GO Battle League, with increased Stardust rewards.

Beyond the Corviknight line, January also brings Shadow Raids (including the return of Shadow Ho-Oh), Dynamax raids with Kanto's Legendary Birds, and the return of the Pokémon GO Community Day Classic. This makes for a busy and exciting start to the year for Pokémon GO players.
