Authore: HannahUpdate:Mar 17,2025

Get ready for Pokémon GO's Fashion Week: Taken Over, running from January 15th to 19th! This stylish event brings exciting challenges and new Pokémon.

Rescue Shadow Palkia by battling Team GO Rocket leader Giovanni. Ho-Oh's Raid Day on January 19th offers a chance to catch a Shiny Ho-Oh and learn the powerful Sacred Fire attack. Consider purchasing a $5 event ticket for extra rewards.

Make room in your Pokédex for the debut of Shroodle and Grafaiai! Hatch Shroodle from 12 km Eggs.

Team GO Rocket will be more prevalent at PokéStops and in balloons, providing ample opportunities to purify your Shadow Pokémon using Charged TMs to remove Frustration.

New Shadow Pokémon join the fray: Shadow Taillow, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Trubbish, and Bunnelby. Some might even be Shiny! For the first time, you can use Remote Raid Passes to participate in these Shadow Raids.

A special research task will reward you with a Super Rocket Radar, leading to your encounter with Giovanni. Field Research tasks offer rewards such as Mysterious Components, Charged TMs, and Fast TMs. Complete a special Collection Challenge to earn Stardust and a Trubbish encounter.
