What started as a simple quest with Professor Willow in Pokémon Go has grown big time. Players began with researching Pokémon like Meltan and tackling Team Go Rocket. Now, they’re facing Shadow Raids, battling Shadow Mewtwo, and getting their hands on the Master Ball.
The adventure isn’t just about one event anymore. It extends to the entire Season 10: Rising Heroes, ending with the Rising Shadows event from May 21 to 28. This season ends with a bang, offering fresh challenges.
During the last part of the season and the Rising Shadows event, players can finish the Let’s GO! Special Research. Everyone’s been waiting for this. By the end, players get their first Master Ball. They can also join Shadow Raids for the first time, where Shadow Mewtwo will show up on May 27 and 28.
