Pokémon GO's Fashion Week: Taken Over – A Style Statement with Shadowy Surprises!

Get ready for a stylish showdown in Pokémon GO! Fashion Week: Taken Over runs from January 15th to 19th, blending high fashion with intense battles against Team GO Rocket. This event offers a unique opportunity to rescue Shadow Palkia by confronting Giovanni. Furthermore, a Shadow Ho-Oh Raid Day on January 19th provides another chance to add this powerful Pokémon to your collection.

This year's Fashion Week introduces two new Pokémon: Shroodle and its evolution, Grafaiai. Shroodle will be hatching from 12 km Eggs. Expect increased Team GO Rocket activity at PokéStops and in balloons, providing ample chances to use Charged TMs to remove the Frustration move from your Shadow Pokémon.

New Shadow Pokémon are joining the fray, including Shadow Taillow, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Trubbish, and Bunnelby. Keep your eyes peeled for Shiny variants! For the first time, you can participate in these Shadow Raids remotely using Remote Raid Passes.

A special research task will reward you with a Super Rocket Radar, leading you to Giovanni and the chance to rescue Shadow Palkia. Field Research tasks offer rewards like Mysterious Components, Charged TMs, and Fast TMs. Complete a special Collection Challenge to earn Stardust and an encounter with Trubbish.

Don't forget to redeem those Pokémon GO codes before the event!

Ho-Oh Shadow Raid Day, on January 19th from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, offers increased Raid Passes and boosted Shiny Ho-Oh encounter rates. Ho-Oh caught during this period will learn the devastating Charged Attack, Sacred Fire. A $5 event ticket unlocks even more rewards.
