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

Get ready for an exciting Pokémon GO event as Fashion Week: Taken Over kicks off from January 15th to January 19th. During this period, you'll have the opportunity to challenge Team Go Rocket, including a showdown with their leader, Giovanni, to rescue the formidable Shadow Palkia. On the final day of the event, January 19th, don't miss out on Ho-Oh's Shadow Raid Day, where you can capture this legendary Pokémon in its shadowy form.

Fashion Week also marks the debut of two new Pokémon: Shroodle and its evolved form, Grafaiai. You can hatch Shroodle from 12 km Eggs, adding these unique creatures to your Pokédex. Expect to encounter Team Go Rocket more frequently at PokéStops and in balloons, providing ample chances to battle and use Charged TMs to help your Shadow Pokémon forget the Frustration move.

The event brings a fresh wave of Shadow Pokémon, including Shadow Taillow, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Trubbish, and Bunnelby. Some of these rescues might even be Shiny, adding an extra thrill to your encounters. You can engage these Shadow Pokémon in various Shadow Raids, and for the first time, Remote Raid Passes allow you to participate from anywhere.

Embark on a special research task that leads you to a Super Rocket Radar, setting the stage for your epic battle against Giovanni to save Shadow Palkia. The event also features Field Research tasks, rewarding you with 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 a Shiny Ho-Oh.
