Upcoming Pokemon GO Event Adding 2 New Paldean Pokemon

The Pokémon GO Fashion Week: Taken Over event, launching January 15th, introduces Shroodle and Grafaiai, the Gen IX Pokémon, to the game. This event, running until January 19th at 8 pm local time, offers several exciting features:

• New Pokémon Arrivals: Shroodle hatches from 12km Eggs, evolving into Grafaiai with 50 Shroodle Candy. Surprise encounters with a fashionably-dressed Croagunk await players who take in-game snapshots.

• Shadow Pokémon Surge: Team GO Rocket's presence increases at PokéStops and in balloons. Charged TMs effectively remove the Frustration Charged Attack from Shadow Pokémon. New Shadow Pokémon encounters include Taillow, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Trubbish, and Bunnelby. Shadow Raids feature Nidoran (♂♀), Totodile, Ralts, Electabuzz, Magmar, and Wobbuffet. Remote Raid Passes are now usable in these raids for the first time.

• Event Bonuses & Activities: Field Research tasks yield Mysterious Components, Charged TMs, and Fast TMs. A Special Research storyline allows players to rescue Shadow Palkia. Collection Challenges and themed Showcases add to the event's appeal. A 300-coin bundle (Incubator, Rocket Radar, Premium Battle Pass) is available in the in-game shop.

Beyond Fashion Week, the Corviknight line debuts on January 21st, a Shadow Raid Day is imminent, and a Classic Community Day featuring Ralts is scheduled for January 25th. Prepare for a busy few weeks in the world of Pokémon GO!
