Gear up, Trainers! Pokémon GO's Fashion Week: Taken Over is set to electrify the scene from January 15th to 19th. This event not only brings a stylish twist to your adventures but also pits you against the notorious Team Go Rocket. Your mission? Battle Giovanni and rescue the formidable Shadow Palkia. Plus, keep an eye out for Shadow Ho-Oh, available during the Shadow Raid Day on January 19th.
Fashion Week isn't just about the battles; it's a runway for new Pokémon too! Make way for the debut of Shroodle and its evolution, Grafaiai. You can hatch Shroodle from 12 km Eggs, adding a fresh face to your Pokédex. Team Go Rocket will be more visible at PokéStops and in balloons, giving you ample chances to encounter them. Remember to use a Charged TM to help your Shadow Pokémon forget the Frustration move and learn something more beneficial.
Shadow Pokémon are making a strong comeback with new recruits like Shadow Taillow, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Trubbish, and Bunnelby. You might even stumble upon Shiny versions of these shadowy critters. Engage in various Shadow Raids to capture these Pokémon, and for the first time, you can join these battles remotely with Remote Raid Passes.
Embark on the special research task that leads to the Super Rocket Radar and a thrilling showdown with Giovanni to save Shadow Palkia. Alongside this, dive into Field Research tasks for rewards like Mysterious Components, Charged TMs, and Fast TMs. Completing the special Collection Challenge will net you Stardust and an encounter with Trubbish.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, January 19, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time for the Ho-Oh Shadow Raid Day. This event offers additional Raid Passes and increases your chances of encountering a Shiny Ho-Oh. Ho-Oh caught during this time can learn the powerful Charged Attack Sacred Fire. Consider purchasing an event ticket for $5 to enjoy numerous additional rewards.
