The upcoming **Steeled Resolve** event in Pokémon GO is set to make its debut and promises to put Trainers to the test with challenges centered around the resilient Steel-type Pokémon. In addition to the introduction of new Pokémon for the first time in GO, this multi-day event will feature an increase in the appearance rates of certain Pokémon spawns. As an added bonus, players can expect enhanced rewards along with specific raid bosses during this timeframe.
Coinciding with the Steeled Resolve event is the **Legendary Flight** event, which will let players engage in battles and capture Dynamax versions of legendary birds—Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres—during Max Battles. While we wait for new codes in Pokémon GO, there will be various optional bonuses to keep players engaged. Mark your calendars for **Tuesday, January 21 at 10:00 AM** through **Sunday, January 26, 2025, at 08:00 PM** to take advantage of the fresh faces, bosses, and rewards this event has to offer.
All Pokémon Making Their Debuts During the Steeled Resolve Event
Introducing Corviknight and Its Evolution Line
During this event, the new Pokémon Corviknight, Corvisquire, and Rookidee will join the Pokémon GO roster. These raven-inspired Pokémon originated in Generation VIII from the Sword & Shield main series games. Known for its high Defense stat, Corviknight will likely prove to be a sturdy addition, especially with its pre-evolutions, surpassing some of the newer entries like Dachsbun. If you’re having trouble finding Corviknight in the wild, evolving Rookidee could be a straightforward solution.
Evolving Rookidee into Corvisquire requires 25 Rookidee Candy, while evolving Corvisquire into Corviknight will set you back 100 Rookidee Candy. Collecting this Candy shouldn’t take long if you remember to use Pinap Berries when capturing Rookidee or Corvisquire to double the Candy you receive. As an alternative, you can walk with Rookidee as your Buddy to earn an extra Candy after covering certain distances or use any Rare Candy you have in your inventory to help meet the requirement.
Wild Encounters and Increased Spawns During the Steeled Resolve Event
Diverse Wild Encounters
The Steeled Resolve event will also see a surge in the wild spawns of Pokémon such as Clefairy, Marill, and Carbink. It’s an excellent opportunity for players who need to complete their Pokédex with both new and older Pokémon or need to gather Candy for evolutions. Here’s a list of Pokémon that will spawn more frequently:
- Clefairy
- Machop
- Totodile
- Marill
- Hoppip
- Paldean Wooper
- Shieldon
- Bunnelby
- Carbink
- Mareanie
Except for Carbink, all listed Pokémon can be Shiny. If you’re a Shiny enthusiast looking to add to your collection, this event offers a prime opportunity, though finding them often requires persistence and a bit of luck. Always check the current Shiny rates in Pokémon GO beforehand to plan your encounters wisely.
Raid Battles During the Steeled Resolve Event
Featuring a Major Generation Three Legendary
Continuing the trend of previous events, the Steeled Resolve event will feature a variety of raids, including notable bosses like Deoxys in both its Attack and Defense Formes. Players will have the chance to face off against Deoxys alongside other bosses such as Mega Gallade, Mega Medicham, Pancham, and Lickitung. Here’s the schedule for these raids:
| Raid Boss | Raid Level | Date & Time | Can It Be Shiny? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lickitung | One | January 21 at 10:00 AM until January 26 at 08:00 PM local time | Yes |
| Skorupi | One | January 21 at 10:00 AM until January 26 at 08:00 PM local time | Yes |
| Pancham | One | January 21 at 10:00 AM until January 26 at 08:00 PM local time | Yes |
| Amaura | One | January 21 at 10:00 AM until January 26 at 08:00 PM local time | Yes |
| Deoxys (Attack Forme) | Five | January 21 at 10:00 AM until January 24 at 10:00 AM local time | No |
| Deoxys (Defense Forme) | Five | January 21 at 10:00 AM until January 24 at 10:00 AM local time | No |
| Dialga | Five | January 24 at 10:00 AM until January 26 at 08:00 PM local time | Yes |
| Mega Gallade | Mega | January 21 at 10:00 AM until January 24 at 10:00 AM local time | Yes |
| Mega Medicham | Mega | January 24 at 10:00 AM until January 26 at 08:00 PM local time | Yes |
Similar to the increased spawns for the event, most raid bosses have a chance of being Shiny, with the exception of Deoxys in both its forms. Keep in mind that luck plays a crucial role in snagging alternate-colored Pokémon like Shiny Dialga during these raids.
Event Rewards for Steeled Resolve
An Additional Method to Collect Rookidee Candy
Participating in the Steeled Resolve event provides players with special bonuses, including the **Magnetic Lure**, which diversifies the Pokémon attracted to PokeStops. Rather than just the usual stalls, the Magnetic Lure can draw in Pokémon like Onix, Beldum, Shieldon, and Rookidee. This is crucial for gathering Rookidee Candy to eventually evolve into Corviknight during the 30-minute Lure Module duration.
Information about Field Research tasks for Steeled Resolve will be accessible when the event begins, but you can anticipate rewards like Poké Balls, Revives, Super Potions, and additional encounters with event Pokémon. For a fee of $5.00 (or the equivalent in your local currency), players can access exclusive Timed Research during the event for valuable items like Stardust, XP, Elite Charged TMs, and more encounters with themed Pokémon.
Additionally, there’s a bonus during the event allowing Shadow Pokémon to forget the Charged Attack, Frustration, with the use of a TM. This is an ideal strategy for enhancing the competitiveness of a Shadow Pokémon without going through the purification process. Remember the start date of January 21 for the Steeled Resolve event, so you can gather Rookidee Candy and add Corviknight to your Pokémon GO collection!
