Buddy Bonds and Shiny Surprises: Pokemon Go's Precious Pals Event Brings Challenges and Rocket Mischief

Niantic's Precious Pals event in Pokemon Go runs through January 25 and emphasizes buddy play with two Collection Challenges (In Knead of a Friend; Little Friends, Big Potential), new field tasks, and bonuses like Eevee evolving into Sylveon after 20 hearts plus reduced buddy-evolution requirements for Sylveon and Pangoro. A shiny Fidough release accompanies boosted wild spawns, 2km eggs, and encounters. A Taken Over Team Rocket mini-event introduces Shadow Raikou and new Shadow starters, with a Raikou Shadow Raid Day on January 24 (2–5pm local) and an increased remote raid pass limit. A paid timed research ticket offers extra raid bonuses, while Masterwork Research Pony Tales can yield a shiny Keldeo and Precious Paths Special Research is also available. The event also highlights remote raid benefits, bonus candy/XL from walking with a buddy, and ongoing content beyond Precious Pals.
