Get Ready to Battle: Team Go Rocket Returns
If you’re out of the loop, Team Go Rocket is back in Pokémon Go! It’s time to put on your battling gear. As always, you’ll face off against Team Go Rocket NPCs. You’ll also dive into a new Special Research, A Shadowy Disturbance.
This June 2023, the Team Go Rocket Takeover is happening with the Solstice Horizons event. It ends on June 25. You can fight Go Rocket Grunts and tackle Collection Challenges at the same time. These challenges relate to changing Pokémon spawns and Special Research.
One big plus is more Go Rocket appearances and 12km Eggs with rare Pokémon like Larvitar, Deino, and Salandit. You aim to finish A Shadowy Disturbance. Or, try to catch your first Shiny Pancham.
What’s New for Returnees and Newcomers
If you’ve clashed with Go Rocket before, this will feel familiar. If you’re new, get ready for an exciting challenge. You’ll face the evil team from Pokémon Go’s story.
