Pokémon GO Enthusiasts Discover a Clever Method to Effortlessly Accumulate Rocket Radars

Over the years, Pokémon GO has added tons of features and special Pokémon. Now, the game has Pokémon from almost every generation, including different versions for many. Some of the rarest Pokémon in the game are Legendary, like Shadow Rayquaza and Mewtwo. These Shadow forms are super valuable to Pokémon GO collectors.

Finding Super Rocket Radars

On Feb. 2, a Reddit fan shared a tip to make getting Super Rocket Radars easier. These items help players find Giovanni, the Team Rocket boss, to beat him and win rewards.

Getting a Rocket Radar usually takes a long time. Players need to finish Team GO Rocket Special Research tasks, and they can only get one Radar at a time. They complete all tasks, get a Super Radar, and use it to finish the Special Research. This earns them a Legendary Shadow Pokémon. The developers add a new Special Research with each Legendary Shadow Pokémon change. This way, players can get each one.

Stacking Radars

Using the Reddit fan’s method, players can stack Radars through past Team GO Rocket Special Researches. This way, they can get multiple versions of the Shadow Pokémon they want when it comes back into the game.

Here’s how to stack Radars:
– Finish the first page of all Team GO Rocket Special Researches without claiming the rewards.
– Start another Team GO Rocket Special Research and do the same, leaving the first page of rewards unclaimed.
– Keep this up until you’re ready to use the Super Radar for the Pokémon currently available.

The Loophole

Letting all Team GO Rocket Special Research rewards unclaimed on the first page takes them off the “in progress” quest list. This loophole means players can get new ones without completing the previous ones.

This easy-to-understand guide quickly explains how to make the most of your Pokémon GO journey, especially when hunting for those rare Shadow Pokémon. By stacking Super Rocket Radars, players can greatly increase their chances of catching powerful Legendary Shadow Pokémon.
