Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a>\u2019s “Steeled Resolve” event for 2026 runs from April 28 until May 4. This event features steel-type Pok\u00e9mon and debuts Orthworm, the worm Pok\u00e9mon from Paldea.<\/p>\n

Alongside the bonuses you can see below, Mystery Boxes<\/a> will be able to yield shiny Meltan during this event, so make sure to crack those open and seek out a little nut-head with a blue cable coming out of its backside. As a reminder, you don’t need to use Pok\u00e9mon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!<\/a> or Let’s Go, Eevee! to get a Mystery Box anymore. You can get one by transferring Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> from Go to Pok\u00e9mon Home.<\/p>\n

Notably, this event will get a Team Go Rocket Takeover about halfway through, so get ready to take on a ton of Team Go Rocket members.<\/p>\n

Below we list the bonuses for Pok\u00e9mon Go’s “Steeled Resolve” 2026 event, as well as an explainer on where to find Orthworm.<\/p>\n

How to find Orthworm in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/p>\n

During its debut event, there is only one way to find Orthworm in Pok\u00e9mon Go: raids. Orthworm will appear in three-star raids during the event, and it’s debuting shiny, so keep your eye peeled for a blue worm. Orthworm will not be in the wild or a reward for any research during this event.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Go ‘Steeled Resolve’ 2026 event Go Pass bonuses<\/p>\n

Since this event is going to have a Team Go Rocket “Taken Over” portion later on, this Go Pass features Rocket-related items: Shadow Shards and Super Rocket Radars, mainly. This pass also has a few Meltan encounters, so if you’re not into using the Mystery Box, you can earn a few Meltan through this pass instead.<\/p>\n

There’s also bonuses at these ranks:<\/p>\n

Rank 10: doubled catch candy<\/p>\n

Rank 20: doubled Stardust from Team Go Rocket battles<\/p>\n

Additional bonuses will go live during the “Taken Over” event.<\/p>\n
