Pokemon GO Adding Galar Pokemon in Upcoming Event

Summary

  • Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight debut in Pokémon GO's Steely Resolve event, starting January 21st.
  • The Dual Destiny Season loading screen previously teased these Pokémon's arrival.
  • The event features special research, field research tasks, and increased shiny Pokémon encounter rates.

Pokémon GO announced the highly anticipated arrival of Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight on January 21st during the Steely Resolve event. Pokémon GO players have eagerly awaited the addition of this Galar region evolutionary line, significantly expanding the game's Galar Pokémon roster.

Niantic's December 2024 launch of Pokémon GO's Dual Destiny Season included a new loading screen featuring Rookidee and Corviknight, sparking speculation among players. The absence of these Pokémon in subsequent events only heightened anticipation.

That wait concludes on January 21st with the Steely Resolve event, running from 10 AM to 8 PM local time (January 21st-26th). This event marks the trio's in-game debut, accompanied by a new Dual Destiny seasonal Special Research with unique rewards. Magnetic Lure Modules will attract Pokémon like Onix and Beldum; Shadow Pokémon can unlearn Frustration using Charged TMs. Increased spawn rates for ten Pokémon, including Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, and Carbink, are also planned.
