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 in the Dual Destiny Season loading screen.

This event isn't just about the new additions. Players can participate in a Dual Destiny Special Research, tackle Field Research tasks, and encounter shiny Pokémon. Bonuses include Magnetic Lure Modules attracting Pokémon like Onix, Beldum, and Rookidee, and the ability to use Charged TMs to remove Frustration from Shadow Pokémon. Increased spawns for various Pokémon, including Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, and Carbink, will also enhance the gameplay experience.

• Date: January 21st (10 AM) – January 26th (8 PM) local time
• New Pokémon: Rookidee, Corvisquire, Corviknight
• Features: Special Research, Field Research Tasks, $5 Paid Timed Research, increased spawns of multiple Pokémon (including shiny variants), modified Magnetic Lure Module effectiveness.

Raid Battles: One-star, five-star (featuring Deoxys and Dialga), and Mega raids will be available, with opportunities for shiny encounters.

Eggs: 2km Eggs will contain Shieldon, Carbink, Mareanie, and Rookidee (shiny possibilities).

Evolutionary Bonuses: 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):

• Bonuses: 4x Stardust from win rewards (excluding end-of-set rewards), increased daily battle set limit to 20 (100 battles total), free battle-themed Timed Research with Grimsley-inspired avatar rewards, increased Attack, Defense, and HP variance in GO Battle League reward encounters.
