How to get Resolute Keldeo Forme in Pokemon GO?

Resolute Forme Keldeo will make its debut in Pokemon GO with Season of Tales of Transformation. The Gen V Mythical Pokemon debuted in-game with its Original Forme back in December, 2022 as part of the Something Extraordinary Special Research. Keldeo had been absent ever since.

Apart from a new forme for Keldeon, Tales of Transformation will see the arrival of Mega Metagross, Mega Camerupt, Mega Sharpedo, Dipplin, and Hydrapple.

"Behold Keldeo in its Resolute Form! For the first time in Pokemon GO, Keldeo will be able to transform into its Resolute Form after a season-long journey at your side! Encounter Keldeo as you begin your adventure along a new seasonal Special Research!" - Niantic.

The Tales of Transformation Special Research can be claimed between Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at 10 am local time to Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at 9.59 am local time. We will update this section regarding the specifics of getting the Pokemon once further details are revealed.

In the mainline series, Keldeo changes its forme from Ordinary to Resolute when it knows the move Secret Sword. We currently don't know how the forme change will take place when Resolute Forme Keldeo finally arrives in Pokemon GO. The Pokemon doesn't evolve into or from any other pocket monster.
