Get ready for an electrifying Pokémon GO experience during the upcoming Fashion Week: Taken Over, running from January 15th to January 19th. This event not only brings you face-to-face with Team Go Rocket but also offers a golden opportunity to rescue the formidable Shadow Palkia. Alongside this thrilling encounter, you can also aim to capture Shadow Ho-Oh during the Shadow Raid Day event scheduled for January 19th.
Fashion Week in Pokémon GO is set to dazzle with the debut of Shroodle and its evolution, Grafaiai. You'll have the chance to hatch Shroodle from 12 km Eggs. Keep an eye out for Team Go Rocket, as they'll be more frequent at PokéStops and in balloons, giving you ample chances to use a Charged TM to teach your Shadow Pokémon a move other than Frustration.
The event introduces several new Shadow Pokémon, including Shadow Taillow, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Trubbish, and Bunnelby. There's even a chance some of these rescues could be Shiny. Engage in various Shadow Raids to battle these Pokémon, and for the first time, you can use Remote Raid Passes to participate from anywhere.
Embark on a special research task that will lead you to a Super Rocket Radar, setting the stage for a showdown with Giovanni to save Shadow Palkia. The event also features Field Research tasks that reward you with Mysterious Components, Charged TMs, and Fast TMs. Completing the special Collection Challenge will net you Stardust and an encounter with Trubbish.
Don't miss out on the Ho-Oh Shadow Raid Day on Sunday, January 19, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. This event provides extra Raid Passes and increases your chances of encountering Shiny Ho-Oh. Any Ho-Oh caught during this time will have the opportunity to learn the powerful Charged Attack Sacred Fire. For an additional $5, you can purchase an event ticket that offers numerous extra rewards.
