Pokémon GO: Team Rocket is back and this time much more frequently

In Pokémon GO Team Rocket is back! Players from all over the world report this. We give you all the info about the return.

This is what happened: Team Rocket disappeared on Tuesday night and did not show up at all on Wednesday. After the feature had been there for about a day, it suddenly vanished.

Now the Grunts are back and are occupying PokéStops, just as known. It seems that nothing has changed.

All about the return of Team Rocket

Players report: According to initial reports, Team Rocket can now be found significantly more often. A screenshot on Reddit shows that 5 PokéStops in the immediate vicinity of a player are being occupied by Team Rocket.

The rarity of Team Rocket was a problem at the feature’s launch. Many players complained that they had not encountered a Grunt at all, as they were simply too rare.

What do you need to consider? You can recognize Team Rocket by a dark blue PokéStop. As you approach this stop, it turns black. When you spin it, a Rocket Grunt appears and wants to battle.

This is new: Shadow Pokémon can no longer be traded. This was possible at the beginning, which allowed many Pokémon to be obtained with 100% IV. That no longer works.

A new Special Research has also been introduced: In line with Team Rocket, a new Special Research has been added to the game. Players are already sharing the first stages of it.

There are a total of 4 stages to complete. We have compiled all stages of the research for you here:
