Pokémon GO 'Steeled Resolve' Event Week

Pokémon GO’s Steeled Resolve event begins Tuesday, April 28, at 10 a.m. local time, with Orthworm making its worldwide debut and its shiny form available from day one. (pokemongohub.net) The event runs through Monday, May 4, at 8 p.m. local time. During that window, players can find more Magnemite, Ferroseed, Aron, and Pawniard in the wild. (pokemongohub.net) Orthworm is also the featured boss in three-star raids, while Honedge, Shieldon, and Beldum appear in one-star raids. Event Field Research can reward Magnemite, Pineco, Nosepass, Bronzor, Drilbur, Ferroseed, Beldum, and Shieldon. (pokemongohub.net) The other headline bonus is Meltan. Players who use a Mystery Box during Steeled Resolve can encounter Shiny Meltan, and the wait time to open the box again is reduced for the event. (pokemongohub.net) That makes this week unusually dense for steel-themed collecting. Pokémon GO Hub’s weekly schedule also lists Tapu Lele raid hour on April 29 and Dynamax Shuckle in Max Battles during the same April 27 to May 3 stretch. (pokemongohub.net) Steeled Resolve then folds into a second event, Steeled Resolve: Taken Over, starting Thursday, April 30, at 12 a.m. local time. That takeover adds Shadow Incarnate Forme Landorus through Giovanni and lets players remove Frustration with a Charged Technical Machine. (pokemongohub.net) The takeover also introduces Shiny Varoom from 12 km eggs for the first time, plus new Shadow Helioptile, Shadow Dewpider, Shadow Morelull, and Shadow Stufful from Team GO Rocket battles. (pokemongohub.net) For players planning the week, the main dates are fixed: Orthworm arrives April 28, Team GO Rocket takes over April 30, and both events end May 4 at 8 p.m. local time.
