Team GO Rocket have officially invaded the world of Pokémon GO. For a limited time, all PokéStops in your area were being invaded by Team GO Rocket from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. local time. Team GO Rocket Grunts were also photobombing GO Snapshot photos during the one-hour period. After the photobomb session, a Meowth encounter was automatically be initiated. The villainous team recently issued a statement about their takeover. They also flew their hot air balloon all around the world. They also revealed that Grunts can be found on the third-anniversary artwork for Pokémon GO. If that wasn’t enough, they made fun of Team Instinct leader Spark and his dabbing skills. Read on below for all the details:
OUR STATEMENT: TEAM GO ROCKET
Trainers…
For three years we have been watching. The world of Pokémon GO is rife with unlimited resources. This privilege is wasted on Trainers like you who lack the vision to exploit this vast world of resources and Pokémon.
You walk around and spin your PokéStops like this is some kind of game. You battle in your Gyms and rejoice when they change colors. You care for Pokémon as though they’re something more than tools! What a waste of potential!
We’ve brought our Shadow Pokémon, strengthened to unimaginable levels that you could never reach through powering up alone. We’re here to take over your PokéStops and steal from their unlimited supply of resources. Can’t you see the beauty of our evil?
This is just the beginning. Your resources are our resources. Your Pokémon are our Pokémon. Your world is our world! You can’t stop us. Professor Willow, Spark, Blanche, Candela, and most of all, you—stay out of our way!
We follow the villainous path of those before us—and we will succeed in finally bringing Giovanni’s vision to the world!
If you insist on disrupting our plans, we will make you feel a world of pain!
—Team GO Rocket
