Pokémon Go Strength of Steel: All wild encounters, raids, and Field Research tasks

The second Pokémon Go Ultra Unlock following Go Fest 2024 has arrived, and it’s all about the arrival of Togedemaru’s Shiny version. The latest event is called Strength of Steel, with distinct Pokémon encounters, several raids, and multiple Field Research tasks for you to complete.

Although not everyone has been happy about the latest Pokémon Go Ultra Unlock events, it still offers a variety of opportunities for players to earn rewards. The Strength of Steel event features several Steel-type Pokémon that might normally be rare to encounter in your local area. We’re going to break down all wild Pokémon encounters, raids, and Field Research tasks you can work on during the event.

The Strength of Steel event will be happening from July 25 to 30, starting at 10am in your local timezone. When the event starts, expect a large surge in multiple Steel-type Pokémon, regardless of your region. There’s also a good chance to encounter Togedemaru, with an increased chance of finding its Shiny variant, similar to the Better Together event.

These are all the wild Pokémon you may encounter during the Strength of Steel event. We’ve added an asterisk (*) next to the names of these Pokémon to signify if there’s a chance of you finding a Shiny version of them in the wild. Unfortunately, unlike Togedemaru, they do not have an increased chance for their Shiny version to appear in Pokémon Go during the event.
