Get ready for an exhilarating Pokémon GO experience with the upcoming Fashion Week: Taken Over, running from January 15th to 19th, 2025. During this event, you'll have the opportunity to confront Team Go Rocket and rescue the powerful Shadow Palkia from Giovanni's clutches. Not only that, but you can also aim to capture Shadow Ho-Oh during the Shadow Raid Day on January 19th.
Fashion Week will also introduce two new Pokémon to the game: Shroodle and its evolution, Grafaiai. You can hatch Shroodle from 12 km Eggs, adding fresh excitement to your collection. Expect to encounter Team Go Rocket more frequently at PokéStops and in balloons, providing ample chances to use Charged TMs to help your Shadow Pokémon forget the Frustration move.
The event brings back Shadow Pokémon with new additions including Shadow Taillow, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Trubbish, and Bunnelby. Keep your eyes peeled for Shiny versions of these rescues. You can challenge these Shadow Pokémon in various Shadow Raids, and for the first time, you can use Remote Raid Passes to participate from anywhere.
Engage in the special research task to obtain a Super Rocket Radar, which will guide you to a confrontation with Giovanni to save Shadow Palkia. The event also includes Field Research tasks that reward you with Mysterious Components, Charged TMs, and Fast TMs. Completing the special Collection Challenge will earn you Stardust and an encounter with Trubbish.
