A new year heralds the return of exciting events in Pokémon Go, and one of the first to make a comeback is Fashion Week. This stylish event will be held from January 10th to 19th, offering players a unique opportunity to engage with the AR game through costumed Pokémon, special bonuses, and a plethora of reasons to venture out and explore.
During Fashion Week, catching Pokémon will net you double Stardust, a fantastic boost for your collection. Trainers level 31 and above will also enjoy an increased chance of obtaining Candy XL, crucial for powering up your Pokémon. For those on the hunt for shiny Pokémon, the event provides an enhanced opportunity to encounter Shiny Kirlia and other fashion-themed Pokémon. You can find these shinies in the wild, through Field Research tasks, and in raids.
Fashion Week introduces several new costumed Pokémon, including Minccino and its evolution, Cinccino, both adorned in chic outfits. There's also a chance to spot a Shiny Minccino, so keep your eyes peeled. You'll encounter Pokémon like Diglett, Blitzle, Furfrou, and Kirlia, all dressed in themed costumes, during your wild encounters.
The event's raids present further challenges and opportunities, featuring Pokémon like Shinx and Dragonite in fashionable attire. One-star raids will include Shinx, Minccino, and Furfrou, while three-star raids will showcase Butterfree and Dragonite. Each of these raid bosses has a chance to appear in their shiny forms, ensuring that whether you're exploring the wild or battling in raids, you're likely to come across a shiny or two.
To maximize your experience during Fashion Week, consider purchasing the $5 Timed Research. This will grant you rewards such as Stardust, XP, and encounters with event-themed Pokémon. Completing the research also earns you an exclusive avatar pose, and additional avatar items are available in the shop. For an extra challenge, keep an eye out for Collection Challenges as well.
