Winter may be here but Niantic continues to find ways to incentivise their large fanbase to continue leaving the house to play
Pokémon Go even in the cold and snowy season. These incentives usually come in the form of in-game events, and now the company has released information regarding what is in store for January and that includes the happenings of Team Go Rocket.
2020 will kick off with with a new shadow Legendary creature available for trainers to rescue from the Team Rocket Boss Giovanni - and that creature is none other than the Generation I fire Legendary Moltres. Since Moltres is the mascot for Team Valor, this is likely to get many players fired up to face off with the leader of the dastardly Team Rocket in hopes of claiming one for themselves. What's truly interesting, however, is that the implication of potential new Legendary shadow creatures each month comes from Niantic's statement, which included the following.
"Be on the lookout for a new Team GO Rocket Special Research from Professor Willow every month."
Does this cryptic statement mean trainers can expect a constant rollout of shadow Legendaries, or will we see some be recycled? Let's hope its the former, as it would certainly serve as a good reason to keep people playing - not that there aren't plenty of those already.
