The Steely Resolve event in Pokémon GO, running from January 21st to 26th, marks the highly anticipated debut of the Corviknight evolutionary line: Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight. This follows the earlier tease in the December 2024 Dual Destiny Season loading screen.

This event isn't just about the new additions. Players can participate in a Dual Destiny Special Research, tackle new Field Research tasks, and encounter shiny variations of various Pokémon. Magnetic Lure Modules will attract a wider range of Pokémon, including Onix, Beldum, and Rookidee. A Charged TM will allow the removal of Frustration from Shadow Pokémon. Increased spawn rates for ten Pokémon, including Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, and Carbink, will also be in effect.
