The Steely Resolve event in Pokémon GO, running from January 21st to 26th, marks the highly anticipated arrival of the Corviknight evolutionary line: Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight. This follows the subtle tease in the December 2024 Dual Destiny Season loading screen.
This event isn't just about the new additions. Players can expect a packed schedule including:
- New Pokémon: Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight make their debut.
- Special Research: A Dual Destiny themed Special Research with unique rewards.
- Field Research Tasks: Providing opportunities for various encounters and items.
- Shiny Pokémon: Increased chances to encounter shiny versions of several Pokémon, including Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, and Mareanie.
- Bonuses: Magnetic Lure Modules will attract specific Pokémon like Onix and Beldum. Charged TMs can remove the Frustration attack from Shadow Pokémon. Increased spawn rates for ten Pokémon including Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, and Carbink.
- Raids: One-star, five-star (featuring Deoxys and Dialga), and Mega raids with various Pokémon.
- Eggs: 2km Eggs containing Shieldon, Carbink, Mareanie, and Rookidee (shiny possibilities).
- Featured Attacks: Evolving specific Pokémon during the event will grant them unique powerful attacks (e.g., Corviknight learning Iron Head).
- GO Battle Week (Dual Destiny): Running concurrently, this offers 4x Stardust from win rewards, increased daily battle sets, free Timed Research, and Grimsley-inspired avatar shoes. League variations will include Master, Great, and Ultra Leagues.
The Steely Resolve event promises a significant boost to the Galar region representation in Pokémon GO, alongside other exciting features and bonuses. Beyond the Corviknight line, the event also features the return of Shadow Ho-Oh in Shadow Raids, Dynamax raids with Kanto Legendary Birds, and the return of the Community Day Classic. It's shaping up to be a busy and rewarding month for Pokémon GO players.
