Gear up for an exciting Pokémon GO event as Fashion Week: Taken Over sweeps into town from January 15th to 19th. This thrilling event gives you the perfect opportunity to confront Team Go Rocket and their leader, Giovanni, to rescue the formidable Shadow Palkia. Alongside this, the Shadow Raid Day on January 19th brings the chance to capture Shadow Ho-Oh, making it a week packed with action and rewards.

During Fashion Week, you'll witness the debut of two intriguing new Pokémon: Shroodle and its evolution, Grafaiai. You can hatch Shroodle from 12 km Eggs, adding a new layer of excitement to your egg hatching adventures. Expect to encounter Team Go Rocket more frequently at PokéStops and in balloons, giving you ample opportunities to challenge them and utilize a Charged TM to help your Shadow Pokémon forget the Frustration move.

The event introduces new Shadow Pokémon to the mix, including Shadow Taillow, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Trubbish, and Bunnelby. Keep your eyes peeled for Shiny versions of these rescues. You can battle these Shadow Pokémon through various Shadow Raids, and for the first time, you can join these raids remotely with Remote Raid Passes, making it easier than ever to participate from anywhere.

Embark on a special research task that will lead you to a Super Rocket Radar, culminating in an epic showdown with Giovanni to save Shadow Palkia. The event also features Field Research tasks, offering valuable rewards such as Mysterious Components, Charged TMs, and Fast TMs. Completing a special Collection Challenge will earn you Stardust and an encounter with Trubbish.
