The Steely Resolve event in Pokémon GO, running from January 21st to 26th, marks the highly anticipated debut of the Corviknight evolutionary line: Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight.

- Raid Battles: Featuring one-star raids with Lickitung, Skorupi, Pancham, and Amaura; five-star raids with Deoxys (Attack and Defense Forms) and Dialga; and Mega Raids with Mega Gallade and Mega Medicham.
- 2km Eggs: Offering the chance to hatch Shieldon, Carbink, Mareanie, and Rookidee (shiny possibilities included).
- Event-Exclusive Moves: Evolving specific Pokémon during the event will grant them powerful, event-exclusive moves. This includes Corviknight learning Iron Head.
