Tue Jan 21 23:20:00 UTC 2025: **Pokemon GO’s Steeled Resolve Event Introduces Rookidee, But Shiny Variant Remains Elusive**
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – January 21, 2025 – The highly anticipated Steeled Resolve event in Pokémon GO has arrived, bringing with it the debut of the Rookidee Pokémon and its evolutions, Corvisquire and Corviknight. Trainers can now encounter Rookidee through various methods, including hatching 2 KM Eggs obtained from PokéStops and completing event-specific research tasks. A paid Timed Research task, costing $5 USD, guarantees a Rookidee encounter.
While the standard Rookidee is available, Niantic has yet to release its Shiny variant. This is not uncommon, as developers often introduce Shiny Pokémon separately from their standard counterparts. Players eager to add a Shiny Rookidee to their collection will have to wait for a future update. The event also features increased spawn rates for Rookidee in the wild. Further details on other Pokémon GO events and raids in January 2025 are also available.
