Galarian Pokémon Invade Pokémon GO in Exciting New 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-held 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 offers a packed schedule:

Event Highlights:

• New Pokémon: Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight make their Pokémon GO debut.
• Special Research: A new Dual Destiny Special Research storyline with unique rewards.
• Field Research: New tasks offering various encounters and rewards.
• Increased Spawns: Boosted appearance rates for Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, Carbink, and others (some with shiny possibilities).
• Magnetic Lure Modules: Attract Pokémon like Onix, Beldum, Shieldon, and Rookidee.
• Charged TM Utility: Use a Charged TM to remove Frustration from Shadow Pokémon.
• Raid Battles: Featuring one-star, five-star (Deoxys forms, then Dialga), and Mega Raids (Mega Gallade, then Mega Medicham). Many raid bosses have shiny potential.
• 2km Eggs: Increased chances of hatching Shieldon, Carbink, Mareanie, and Rookidee (shiny possibilities).
• Featured Attacks: Evolving specific Pokémon during the event grants them unique powerful moves (e.g., Corviknight learning Iron Head).
• GO Battle Week: Runs concurrently, offering 4x Stardust from wins, increased daily battle sets (up to 20), free Timed Research with Grimsley-inspired rewards, and varied Pokémon stats in GO Battle League rewards.

Event Timing:

• Steely Resolve Event: January 21st, 10:00 AM to January 26th, 8:00 PM local time.
• GO Battle Week: January 21st, 12:00 AM to January 26th, 11:59 PM local time.

This event is part of a busy start to the year for Pokémon GO, also including Shadow Raids featuring Shadow Ho-Oh, Dynamax Raids with Kanto Legendary Birds, and the return of Pokémon GO Community Day Classic. The addition of the Corviknight line promises to significantly enhance gameplay and collection opportunities.
