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 a teaser in the December 2024 Dual Destiny Season loading screen.

• Raids: One-star, five-star (featuring Deoxys and Dialga), and Mega raids will be available, with opportunities for shiny encounters.
• Eggs: 2km Eggs will have a chance of hatching Shieldon, Carbink, Mareanie, and Rookidee (shiny possibilities).
• Featured Attacks: Evolving specific Pokémon during the event will grant them unique, powerful attacks. This includes Corviknight learning Iron Head.
• GO Battle Week: Running concurrently, this offers 4x Stardust from win rewards, increased daily battle sets, and a free battle-themed Timed Research.

The event's timeframe is: January 21st, 10:00 AM to January 26th, 8:00 PM local time. A $5 Paid Timed Research will also be available. The increased spawns include Clefairy, Machop, Totodile, Marill, Hoppip, Paldean Wooper, Shieldon, Bunnelby, Carbink, and Mareanie. Raid encounters include Lickitung, Skorupi, Pancham, and Amaura (one-star raids), and Deoxys (Attack and Defense Forme) and Dialga (five-star raids). Mega raids will feature Mega Gallade and Mega Medicham.

Beyond the Corviknight debut, January also features Shadow Raids (including Shadow Ho-Oh), Dynamax raids with Kanto Legendary Birds, and the return of the Pokémon GO Community Day Classic. This makes for a busy and exciting start to the year for Pokémon GO players.
