The Steely Resolve event in Pokémon GO, running from January 21st to 26th, marks the highly anticipated debut of the Corviknight evolutionary line: Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight. This follows a community-wide speculation sparked by their appearance in the Dual Destiny Season loading screen.
This event isn't just about the new additions. Players can participate in a new Dual Destiny Special Research, tackle Field Research tasks, and encounter shiny versions of various 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 Rookidee. Increased spawn rates for Clefairy, Paldean Wooper, Carbink, and others are also in effect.
