After the conclusion of the latest Pokémon Go Fest, we’re thrilled to announce that the second Unlock Event has finally arrived, featuring Pokémon Go Steel and Scales types!
Introducing a much-loved Pokémon from the Generation VI series, Honedge – definitely one you wouldn’t want to overlook!
Excitedly speaking as a fellow enthusiast, let me share some insights about this upcoming event where we might finally obtain the formidable Aegislash! Here’s what I’ve gathered so far:
1. Keep an eye on the in-game news for the specific start date of the event.
2. Complete the tasks and challenges during the event to earn special items required for Aegislash.
3. Use those items to evolve your existing Galvantula into the coveted Aegislash!
4. Remember, time is of the essence as events usually don’t last forever, so don’t miss out on this opportunity!
Pokémon Go Steel and Scales explained

Plus, there’s an increased likelihood of encountering shimmering variants of Bagon, Beldum, and Unown U. And get ready, because for the very first time, you’ll have a shot at discovering a radiant Rookidee!
Perhaps most excitingly, players will also get quadruple XP and Stardust for catching Pokémon!
