Pokemon GO We're preparing a new Team GO Rocket-based event where you'll be able to rescue the Shadow Pokémon version of the Legendary Fire and Steel-type Pokémon Heatran from a villainous organization. The limited-time event is about to begin. Pokemon GO October 8th.
Team GO Rocket was introduced. Pokemon GO It was released alongside Shadow Pokemon in July 2019, just over three years after the augmented reality mobile game. Both Growlers and Leaders can be encountered and battled at PokeStops and mobile balloons, and early promotional campaigns even featured actual Growlers challenging and maiming players. Pokemon GO Posters were put up throughout New York City.
The upcoming event, titled Galarian Expedition: Taken Over, will allow players to undertake a special seasonal Research questline that culminates in receiving the Super Rocket Radar. This radar will allow players to challenge longtime Team Rocket leader Giovanni in a bid to free Shadow Heatran from his clutches. The event will only run from midnight October 8 to 8:00 p.m. local time on October 11, but players will be able to continue this Research quest until 9:59 a.m. local time on December 3. The event will also introduce six new Shadow Pokemon that can be collected from Team GO Rocket encounters, most of which are likely to be Shiny, as well as some event-themed Pokemon.

Special study
While the prospect of picking up and purifying Shadow Heatran may be appealing to many players, there are other Team GO Rocket-based rewards that will come into play during the special event. Players will encounter Team GO Rocket leaders and foot soldiers more frequently in PokeStops and hot air balloons. Additionally, players with a large collection of Shadow Pokemon and Charged TMs will be able to enjoy the event by using Charged TMs to teach their Shadow Pokemon the Charged move rather than the somewhat weaker Normal-type move Frustration.
Team GO Rocket's last event Pokemon GO It took place in the second week of August. The event gave players a chance to get their hands on Shadow Cresselia and Shadow Lugia, but some fans were disappointed that Shadow Rayquaza was left out, despite the Shard Skies season being focused on Legendary dragons.
