Submit Feedback or Error

Another event, another chapter in the Season of Heritage story-line. Moving on from the events leading up to this, it seems that we may be inching closer to the season's big reveal of what lies behind that giant door. This time around, we've got the introduction of the Helioptile line, and the announcement of the next Team Rocket Takeover event, though this one may be leading up to something more as well....

A Bad Feeling...

  • Using a Charged TM during the event will remove the move "Frustration" from a Shadow Pokemon
  • Team Rocket will appear more frequently at Pokestops.

While this seems like it'll be the standard Rocket Takeover event, the event announcement also includes the following line:

As Spark proceeds with his investigation, he begins to have a creeping feeling that something unexpected is going to happen.

While this could easily be nothing more than fluff and flavor, we may also see something else alongside this event. We'll keep you updated if anything develops!
