The Steely Resolve event in Pokémon GO, running from January 21st to 26th, marks the highly anticipated arrival of the Corviknight evolutionary line: Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight. This follows a teaser in the December 2024 Dual Destiny Season loading screen, which piqued player interest.

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 several Pokémon. Bonuses include the ability to use Charged TMs to remove Frustration from Shadow Pokémon and Magnetic Lure Modules attracting Pokémon like Onix, Beldum, and the event's featured trio. Increased spawn rates for ten Pokémon, including Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, and Carbink, will also enhance the gameplay experience.
