Galar Pokemon to Join Pokemon GO in New Event

Get ready, Pokemon GO enthusiasts! The much-anticipated Corviknight evolutionary line, featuring Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight, is set to make its grand debut during the Steely Resolve event on January 21, 2025. This event, running from 10 am on January 21 to 8 pm on January 26, local time, marks a thrilling addition to the roster of Galar region Pokemon available in the game. The introduction of these Flying/Steel-type Pokemon follows a teaser in the new loading screen for the Dual Destiny Season, which began in December 2024, sparking excitement and speculation among the community.

During the Steely Resolve event, players can dive into a range of activities including new Special Research tasks and Field Research, enhancing their gameplay experience with fresh challenges and rewards. The event also introduces a $5 Paid Timed Research, offering additional opportunities for engagement.
