Pokémon GO's Fashion Week: Taken Over – A Stylish Showdown!

Get ready for a fashionable fight in Pokémon GO! Fashion Week: Taken Over runs from January 15th to 19th, bringing a stylish battle against Team GO Rocket. This event offers a unique opportunity to confront Giovanni and rescue Shadow Palkia. A Shadow Ho-Oh Raid Day on January 19th adds even more excitement, with a chance to catch a Shiny Shadow Ho-Oh.

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

New Shadow Pokémon join the roster, including Shadow Taillow, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Trubbish, and Bunnelby. Shiny versions may appear! For the first time, Remote Raid Passes allow participation in Shadow Raids from anywhere.

ytA special research task leads to a Super Rocket Radar, ultimately culminating in a battle with Giovanni to save Shadow Palkia. Field Research tasks offer rewards like Mysterious Components, Charged TMs, and Fast TMs. Completing a special Collection Challenge rewards Stardust and a Trubbish encounter.

Ho-Oh Shadow Raid Day takes place on Sunday, January 19th, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.
