Team Go Rocket Returns for Fashion Week and Ho-Oh's Shadow Raid Day in Pokémon Go

Get ready for an exhilarating Pokémon GO event as Fashion Week: Taken Over kicks off from January 15th to January 19th, 2025. This event not only offers a stylish twist but also brings intense battles with Team Go Rocket. You'll have the chance to confront the notorious Giovanni and rescue the powerful Shadow Palkia. Additionally, on January 19th, participate in the Ho-Oh Shadow Raid Day to capture Shadow Ho-Oh and possibly encounter its Shiny variant.

During Fashion Week, Pokémon GO introduces Shroodle and its evolution, Grafaiai, to the game. You can hatch Shroodle from 12 km Eggs and look forward to encountering these new additions. Expect to see Team Go Rocket more frequently at PokéStops and in balloons, providing ample opportunities to challenge them and use Charged TMs to replace the Frustration move on your Shadow Pokémon.

The event also marks the return of Shadow Pokémon, with new members like Shadow Taillow, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Trubbish, and Bunnelby. Keep an eye out for Shiny versions of these Pokémon. You can battle these Shadow Pokémon through various Shadow Raids, and for the first time, you can use Remote Raid Passes to participate from anywhere.

Engage in the special research task to obtain a Super Rocket Radar, leading you to a showdown with Giovanni and the chance to save Shadow Palkia. The event also features Field Research tasks with rewards including Mysterious Components, Charged TMs, and Fast TMs. Completing the special Collection Challenge will earn you Stardust and an encounter with Trubbish.

On Sunday, January 19, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, join the Ho-Oh Shadow Raid Day. This event provides extra Raid Passes and increases your chances of encountering Shiny Ho-Oh.
