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 follows the earlier tease of these Pokémon in the Dual Destiny Season loading screen.

This event is packed with activities:

  • New Pokémon: Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight make their first appearance.
  • Special Research: A new Dual Destiny Special Research will offer unique rewards.
  • Field Research: Expect new Field Research tasks to complete.
  • Shiny Pokémon: Increased chances to encounter shiny versions of various Pokémon, including Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, and more.
  • Bonuses: Magnetic Lure Modules will attract Pokémon like Onix and Beldum. Shadow Pokémon can forget Frustration using Charged TMs. Increased spawns of several Pokémon.
  • Raids: One-star, five-star (featuring Deoxys and Dialga), and Mega raids will be available.
  • Eggs: 2km Eggs will contain Shieldon, Carbink, Mareanie, and Rookidee (shiny possibilities).
  • Featured Attacks: Evolving specific Pokémon during the event will grant them unique attacks (e.g., Corviknight learning Iron Head).

GO Battle Week: Dual Destiny (January 21st-26th):

This concurrent event offers:

  • Bonuses: 4x Stardust from win rewards, increased daily battle set limit (20 sets instead of 5), free battle-themed Timed Research, and varied IV spreads for Pokémon encountered in GO Battle League.
  • Leagues: Master League, Great League, and Ultra League will be active.

Beyond the Corviknight debut, January also features Shadow Raids (including Shadow Ho-Oh's return), Dynamax raids with Kanto 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.
