Pokémon GO is set to introduce new Pokémon from Generation 6, specifically the Steel/Ghost type Honedge along with its evolutions Doublade and Aegislash. Starting July 22, these new Pokémon will be accessible during a limited-time event.

Honedge and Evolutions

Honedge, which is styled as a medieval weapon, comes with a special ability that allows it to switch between Shield and Blade forms during battle. This event is part of the new Delightful Days season that began on June 3, bringing a variety of additional characters to Pokémon GO, including the sushi-themed Tatsugiri, Galarian Yamper, and Hisuian Lilligant.

The addition of these Kalos region Pokémon marks an exciting development, hinting at possible future additions from Gen 6 as well.

The Ultra Unlock: Steel and Scales event will run from July 22 until July 27, featuring enhanced encounters with Honedge and the opportunity for players to evolve their captured Pokémon into Doublade and Aegislash using specific candies. Moreover, shiny versions of other Pokémon will also appear more frequently during the event, enhancing the excitement for players.
