 Niantic has recently added a big surprise for the trainers in Pokemon Go. From October 13 to October 19, players can obtain a new egg by defeating Team Rocket leaders. Niantic is quite active on Twitter, and there they have brought the information of updates under the limelight. Niantic has revealed that their new update will bring the Team Rocket event, a new 12km egg, and ongoing Raid Boss Giratina. The legendary Pokemon Giratina started to appear in 5-Star Raid Battle on October 9, and it will appear till October 23. So trainers will have enough time to capture this powerful Pokemon.

However, trainers have to focus on the new strange red egg with polka dots. This egg is different from all other eggs, and it will take more time to hatch. If trainers successfully hatch the new egg, they can get the Dark and Poison-type Pokemon like Trubbish, Vullaby, Absol, and Scraggy. If trainers hatch the eggs during the event, its hatch distance will be cut down by ¾ once you put it in Incubator. So it’s the right time to hatch the eggs, grind Stardust, XP and collect powerful Pokemon.

Team Rocket Event

To battle against any of these leaders, you need to win six Team Rocket battles against the Grunts. After winning six battles, you’ll obtain Rocket Radar that will help you to locate Team Rocket Leaders.

In the current event, players can also battle against Team Rocket Boss Giovanni as well. However, the procedure to start a battle against him is different. To find the location, you have to acquire the Super Rocket Radar by defeating all three Team Rocket leaders.

Giovanni is the toughest opponent from the Team Rocket organization, and to win against him, you need to create a strong lineup. If you successfully win against Giovanni, you will encounter Mewtwo or Suicune. Both of these Pokemon are super strong, and you need to throw Excellent throws or Great throws to capture them.

The main objective of this Team Rocket event is that players have to capture as many as possible Shadow Pokemon. Niantic has updated the Shadow Pokemon and their difficulty. During the event, players will encounter the Shadow form of Slowpoke, Shellder, Diglett, and Aerodactyl. All of these Pokemon are powerful, and using them in the PVP battle can help the trainers.
