On January 21, the Steely Resolve event will mark the introduction of Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight in Pokemon GO. Fans of the game have eagerly anticipated the arrival of this evolutionary line, and it’s finally here to enhance the roster of Galar Pokemon.
In December 2024, Niantic unveiled a fresh loading screen for the Dual Destiny Season of Pokemon GO. This new design quickly grabbed the attention of players, particularly because it featured Rookidee and Corviknight, two Pokemon that had not been previously disclosed.
The wait is finally over! Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight are set to make their debut in Pokémon GO on January 21 during the Steely Resolve event. Kicking off at 10 am and running until January 26 at 8 pm local time, players will have the chance to encounter this exciting trio for the very first time.
