Get ready for an event full of hard-hitting Pokémon that are sure to make an impact on your GO Battle League lineup! The Pokémon GO Steeled Resolve event is taking place from Tuesday, January 21, at 10:00 a.m. to Sunday, January 26, at 8:00 p.m. local time.

Forget Frustration and Learn Featured Attacks

During the event, you’ll be able to improve your Shadow Pokémon’s battling chops by using Charged TMs to help them forget Frustration. Certain Pokémon will also be able to learn powerful featured attacks when they evolve. If you want to ensure that your Shadow Pokémon learn these attacks, be sure to use a Charged TM to forget Frustration before evolving them. This is especially important to remember for Shadow Feraligatr and Shadow Quagsire, both of which are popular in the GO Battle League. Evolve any of the following Pokémon during the event to get a Pokémon that knows a featured attack!

• Evolve Machoke (Machop’s Evolution) to get a Machamp that knows the Fast Attack Karate Chop.
