Get ready for Pokémon GO's Fashion Week: Taken Over, running from January 15th to 19th! This stylish event brings a flurry 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, Shroodle and Grafaiai, debut during Fashion Week. Shroodle can be hatched from 12 km Eggs. Team GO Rocket will be more prevalent at PokéStops and in Balloons, providing increased opportunities to purify your Shadow Pokémon using Charged TMs to remove Frustration.

New Shadow Pokémon join the roster, including Shadow Taillow, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Trubbish, and Bunnelby. Keep an eye out for Shiny versions! For the first time, you can use Remote Raid Passes to participate in Shadow Raids, regardless of your 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. Additional Field Research tasks offer rewards like Mysterious Components, Charged TMs, and Fast TMs. Completing a special Collection Challenge earns you Stardust and a Trubbish encounter.
