In Pokémon GO it is getting hotter around Team Rocket. Trainers report seeing a Rocket balloon flying over Munich. Furthermore, mysterious emails announce an event.
This is happening right now: On reddit, several players are sharing pictures of a Rocket hot air balloon. It is said to have been spotted flying over Munich. The balloon is black and bears the classic Rocket logo.
Additionally, emails have surfaced showing a conversation between the Rocket bosses. It seems to discuss something that is supposed to happen today, on July 7th.
What is Team Rocket up to?
This is the email: The email is said to come from the Rocket bosses and is intended for the regular grunts. In it, the bosses give the grunts a bit of motivation for something that is supposed to happen today. The email comes from yesterday and thus speaks of something that is supposed to happen tomorrow.
The Rocket bosses mention that now is the time to make history and that failure is not an option.
What could be behind this? It is certainly referring to the Rocket balloon, which has already been heavily teased in the past few days. The balloon has now also appeared in Munich, which is another sign of an imminent release.
The question is only whether an event around the balloon will actually start today or whether the sightings of the balloon in other cities are supposed to increase first.
What is known about the Rocket balloon? The official teasers about the balloon show that Team Rocket is likely to steal Pokémon from it.
A leak shows that the balloon is supposed to appear on the map and that players can interact with grunts from the balloon. This is how players should be able to track the balloon as well.
Now it remains to be seen what exactly will happen. This evening, the balloon could indeed come to Pokémon GO. However, before that, we should take advantage of the Spotlight Hour with Swablu. It is one of the 4 event hours in July. In our article, we show you all the information about the events.
