When does the event run? Fashion Week in Pokémon GO starts on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, at 10:00 AM local time and runs until October 3, 2022, at 8:00 PM local time.
These are the new Pokémon and costumes
During Fashion Week, two new Pokémon will debut in the game: Garstella and Aggrostella. You will also encounter Shiny-Coiffwaff and Shiny-Yveltal for the first time, as well as lots of costumed Pokémon.
In addition to monsters that were already available last year in costumes, such as Sheinux with a hat, Kussilla with a bow, Elezeba with a collar, or Glibunkel with a cap, this year four more Pokémon have dressed up. We will show you what they are and briefly introduce the new monsters below.
Garstella and Aggrostella
The newcomers during Fashion Week are Garstella and Aggrostella. Garstella is a Poison and Water-type Pokémon from Generation 7. It can evolve into Aggrostella. You can recognize this small monster by its purple body, sharp white teeth, and long blue-purple hair.
During the event, it will spawn in the wild, be found in level-3 raids, and hide in the event field research tasks. To secure Aggrostella, you need to evolve Garstella. You will need 50 candies for this.
The evolution has a very distinctive appearance. Just like Garstella, it has a small purple body with big eyes and sharp teeth. However, instead of long hair, it is now surrounded by huge blue tentacles that wrap protectively around its small body.
By the way, Aggrostella is already generating quite a buzz in the community. We have summarized why trainers are concerned that it could ruin the game.
Coiffwaff
A Pokémon that cannot be missing from the Fashion Week in Pokémon GO due to its various hairstyles is Coiffwaff. This monster from Generation 6 will also be catchable in its Shiny form for the first time in the game.
This form differs by having a dark fur and a light face. During the event, keep an eye out for it in the wild, in level-1 raids, and in research tasks. Since Coiffwaff has a total of 9 different forms that differ by their hairstyle, you can also secure various Shinys.
How these look is shown in the following reddit post by TopAssistance2:
We will tell you how to change the forms and which regions they are tied to in the following article:
Yveltal
The legendary Dark and Flying Pokémon from Generation 6 returns to level-5 raids during Fashion Week. Yveltal boasts a high attack and good stamina, as well as solid defensive stats, making it one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
It also performs well in the Master League, which makes it particularly interesting for many players. Additionally, during Fashion Week, you will also be able to find the monster in its Shiny form for the first time in the game. You can recognize it by its red body and white wings.
These are the new costumes for Fashion Week
In addition to the new monsters and Shinys, you can also encounter Digda and its evolution Digdri with a hat during the event. Furthermore, there will be an Absol with sunglasses for the first time, as well as a Toxiquak with a cap.
Glibunkel, Toxiquak’s pre-evolution, was already catchable in this costume in the past. You will also find it this year during Fashion Week in the wild, in level-1 raids, in field research, and in 7km eggs, and you can evolve it into this costume for the first time.
