Pokémon GO is getting another Fashion Week event to align with the IRL Fashion Week happening in late January. During this time, trainers can encounter uniquely dressed Pokémon and earn limited-time avatar outfits.

Fashion Week will take place in Pokémon GO from Friday, Jan. at 10 AM to Sunday, Jan. 19, 2025 at 8 PM. This recurring event has always been a hit with Pokémon players, bringing a quirky twist to the iconic Fashion Week happening over in New York, Paris and Milan. The Pokémon GO version has event bonuses for more earning potential, Pokémon in fashionable costumes, new avatar items and Field Research task rewards.
