The new year brings back beloved events to Pokémon Go, and one of the first to return is Fashion Week, scheduled from January 10th to 19th. This exciting event in the AR game will feature a delightful array of costumed Pokémon, enticing bonuses, and plenty of reasons to explore your surroundings.
During Fashion Week in Pokémon Go, you'll earn double Stardust for catching Pokémon, and Trainers level 31 and above will have an increased chance of receiving Candy XL. If you're on the hunt for shiny Pokémon, you'll be thrilled to know that there's a heightened chance of encountering Shiny Kirlia and other event-themed Pokémon in the wild, through Field Research tasks, and in raids.
A range of costumed Pokémon will make their debut during the event, including the fashionable Minccino and its evolution, Cinccino. There's also a chance to spot a Shiny Minccino, so keep your eyes peeled. Wild encounters will feature stylishly dressed Pokémon such as Diglett, Blitzle, Furfrou, and Kirlia.
Raids during Fashion Week offer additional excitement, with Pokémon like Shinx and Dragonite appearing in chic outfits. One-star raids will include Shinx, Minccino, and Furfrou, while three-star raids feature Butterfree and Dragonite. Each has the potential to appear in their shiny forms, so whether you're exploring the wild or engaging in raid battles, you're likely to encounter a shiny or two.
To enhance your event experience, consider the $5 paid Timed Research, which offers rewards like Stardust, XP, and encounters with event-themed Pokémon. Completing this research also unlocks an exclusive avatar pose, with additional avatar items available in the shop. For those seeking an extra challenge, keep an eye out for Collection Challenges.
Prepare for Fashion Week by downloading Pokémon Go for free and visiting the Pokémon Go Web Store to stock up on necessary resources. Don't miss out on the fun and rewards that await you during this stylish event!
