Niantic has announced a new event for Pokémon GO. Read on below to learn more:
Salandit and Salazzle Debut in Pokémon GO, and Giovanni Brings Shadow Latias
Team GO Rocket returns for another take-over, and they’ve brought a bunch of Shadow Pokémon.
When more Pokémon first found in the Alola region began appearing in Pokémon GO, it was cause for celebration. Unfortunately, these Pokémon have also attracted the attention of some notorious villains. From Sunday, April 3, 2022, at 12:00 a.m. until Thursday, April 7, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. local time, Team GO Rocket will return for another take-over! You’ll find these foes more frequently at PokéStops and in balloons.
Team GO Rocket’s appearance also coincides with the Pokémon GO debut of Salandit and Salazzle. Trainers, take note: If you’re looking to evolve Salandit into Salazzle, you’ll need 50 Salandit Candy and a female Salandit—only female Salandit can evolve.
During this troublesome take-over, Giovanni will be ready for action with an unexpected Pokémon partner—Shadow Latias. There will be a new Special Research story that awards a Super Rocket Radar, which can be used to chase down the Team GO Rocket Boss for a battle. Of course, Giovanni isn’t the only threat. Team GO Rocket Grunts and their leaders—Sierra, Cliff, and Arlo—will be on the scene as well, with a fresh supply of Shadow Pokémon in need of rescue. During the event, you can use a Charged TM to help a Shadow Pokémon forget the Charged Attack Frustration.
Completing Field Research tasks during this event can earn you an encounter with Sneasel or, if you’re lucky, Scraggy.
Thwart Team GO Rocket’s efforts and catch a lot of Pokémon? That sounds like a win-win!
