When more Pokémon
first found in the Alola region began appearing in Pokémon GO, it was cause
for celebration. Unfortunately, these Pokémon have also attracted the attention
of some notorious villains. From Sunday, April 3, 2022, at 12:00 a.m. until
Thursday, April 7, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. local time, Team GO Rocket will return
for another take-over! You’ll find these foes more frequently at PokéStops and
in balloons.
Team GO Rocket’s appearance also coincides with the Pokémon
GO debut of Salandit and Salazzle. Trainers, take note: If you’re looking to
evolve Salandit into Salazzle, you’ll need 50 Salandit Candy and a female
Salandit—only female Salandit can evolve.
During this troublesome take-over, Giovanni will be ready
for action with an unexpected Pokémon partner—Shadow Latias. There will be a
new Special Research story that awards a Super Rocket Radar, which can be used
to chase down the Team GO Rocket Boss for a battle. Of course, Giovanni isn’t
the only threat. Team GO Rocket Grunts and their leaders—Sierra, Cliff, and
Arlo—will be on the scene as well, with a fresh supply of Shadow Pokémon in
need of rescue. During the event, you can use
a Charged TM to help a Shadow Pokémon forget the Charged Attack Frustration.
Completing Field Research tasks during this event can earn
you an encounter with Sneasel or, if you’re lucky, Scraggy.
Thwart Team GO Rocket’s efforts and catch a lot of
Pokémon? That sounds like a win-win!
