Pokemon GO Adding Galar Pokemon in Upcoming Event

Pokémon GO's Steely Resolve Event: Corviknight Arrives!

The highly anticipated Corviknight evolutionary line—Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight—finally debuts in Pokémon GO on January 21st during the Steely Resolve event! This addition significantly expands the game's Galar region Pokémon roster.

The arrival was subtly hinted at in December 2024's Dual Destiny Season loading screen, featuring Rookidee and Corviknight before their official announcement. The wait is over, however, with the Steely Resolve event running from 10 am on January 21st to 8 pm on January 26th (local time).

This event packs a punch with a new Dual Destiny Special Research, offering exciting rewards. Magnetic Lure Modules will attract Pokémon like Onix, Beldum, and Rookidee. Shadow Pokémon can also learn a new trick: using a Charged TM to forget the Frustration Charged Attack. Increased spawn rates for ten Pokémon, including Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, and Carbink, will also boost your catching opportunities.
