Pokémon Go sees the return of Team Go Rocket for Fashion Week and Ho-Oh’s Shadow Raid Day

Get ready for Pokémon GO's Fashion Week: Taken Over, running from January 15th to 19th! This stylish event brings a host of exciting activities, including the chance to rescue Shadow Palkia by battling Team GO Rocket leader Giovanni. Shadow Ho-Oh also makes an appearance during the Shadow Raid Day on January 19th.

Two new Pokémon debut: Shroodle and its evolution, Grafaiai, hatching from 12 km Eggs. Team GO Rocket will be more prevalent at PokéStops and in balloons, providing ample opportunities to use Charged TMs to remove the Frustration move from your Shadow Pokémon.

New Shadow Pokémon join the roster: Shadow Taillow, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Trubbish, and Bunnelby, with a chance of encountering Shiny versions. For the first time, you can use Remote Raid Passes to participate in these Shadow Raids, regardless of location.

A special research task will reward you with a Super Rocket Radar, leading to the showdown with Giovanni and the rescue of Shadow Palkia. Field Research tasks offer rewards such as Mysterious Components, Charged TMs, and Fast TMs, while a Collection Challenge grants Stardust and a Trubbish encounter.
