Get Ready for the Pokémon GO Steeled Resolve Event!
Hey there, trainers! Are you excited about the latest Pokémon GO event? The Steeled Resolve event is live from January 21 to 26, and it’s packed with awesome shiny Pokémon for you to catch! Let’s dive into what you can expect and which Pokémon to keep an eye out for during this shiny hunting adventure!
Why the Steeled Resolve Event is Exciting
During the Steeled Resolve event, you’ll have the chance to catch some really exciting shiny Pokémon and participate in five-star raids! These raids are challenging battles where you team up with other players to take down powerful Pokémon. If you’re up for the challenge, this event is definitely worth your time!
Shiny Pokémon to Hunt!
Here are five standout shiny Pokémon you should aim to catch during this event:
1. Shiny Deoxys (Attack Forme)
Availability: Until January 24 in five-star raids.
The shiny version of Deoxys features a bright yellow color instead of its usual orange. With an Attack stat of 345, this Pokémon is a fierce attacker! Although it has lower defense, it’s perfect for taking down tough opponents in battles. Catching it can be tricky, but using Golden Razz Berries and throwing excellent curveballs can boost your chances!
2. Shiny Dialga
Available starting January 24.
Dialga changes from a steel blue to a vibrant pink-tinted color when it’s shiny. This powerful Dragon/Steel type is excellent in both raids and PvP battles, making it a versatile chosen one. With the right moves, it can deliver serious damage, so don’t miss your chance to catch it!
3. Shiny Mega Gallade
Available in Mega raids until January 24.
This shiny version of Mega Gallade shines in blue instead of green. Having a strong attack stat of 326, it’s among the top-tier attackers in its category. Remember, you’ll need Ralts candy and Mega Energy to evolve it, but the power it brings is totally worth it!
4. Shiny Mega Medicham
Mega raids available starting January 24.
Mega Medicham’s shiny version sparkles gold instead of the regular gray. While it isn’t the strongest attacker, it shines in the Great League PvP with moves like Counter and Dynamic Punch. Plus, with only 100 Mega Energy needed for the first evolution, it’s a great choice for newer trainers!
5. Shiny Machop
Available in the wild!
Shiny Machop transforms from gray to a cool green color. It’s particularly valuable because it evolves into Machamp, which is one of the best Fighting-type attackers. If you catch and evolve Machop during the event, don’t forget it will learn Karate Chop—a solid addition to its moves!
Tips for Catching Pokémon
When hunting for shinies, remember to check the weather! Certain weather boosts can help you catch specific types:
- Windy Weather for Psychic-types
- Cloudy Weather for Fighting-types
- Snowy Weather for Steel-types
By strategizing around the weather, you’ll increase your chances of finding not just shinies, but also powerful Pokémon for your team!
