Pokemon Go Team Rocket Pokestops

The first thing you need to know is how to find Team Rocket in Pokemon Go. Essentially, they’re invading Pokestops all around the world, but they’re not particularly easy to find. On the map, look for any Pokestop that appears to be shaking or trembling, with a slightly darker shade of blue. You can spot them from afar, and when you get close enough to spin the stop, a Team Rocket Grunt will appear and confront you. Battle and defeat the Grunt, and you’ll be given some Premier Balls – similar to how a raid works – in order to catch a Shadow Pokemon they’ve left behind.

Pokemon Go Shadow & Purified Pokemon

Shadow Pokemon are essentially corrupted versions of normal Pokemon that have the charge move Frustration, and significantly lower CP than usual. Above the option to evolve it and teach it a new move, Purify will be available. The cost for this is different depending on the Pokemon, but it usually only costs a few thousand stardust and a couple of candy. Purifying shadow Pokemon means that the resulting CP will be considerably higher, but of course they lose the badass purple smoke and red eyes.

Other Pokemon Go Team Rocket information

Thanks to this Reddit post from user Hat_Function, there’s a lot of other tidbits of information that will come in handy when trying to stop the scourge of Team Rocket.

• Invaded Pokestops have a time limit of exactly 30 minutes
• The shadow Pokemon at each invaded stop is the same for everyone
• You need to be at least level eight to find invaded Pokestops
• The Pokestop returns to normal after you complete the battle
• Shadow Pokemon may be found as shiny – needs confirming because there has only been one report so far
• Purifying a shadow Pokemon adds two points to each IV stat, so a 13/13/13 shadow Pokemon will be 100% when purified
• Purification also increases the level of the Pokemon to 25
• Shadow Pokemon can be traded and placed in gyms
• You can’t replace Frustration or Return with a TM
• Purified Pokemon cost slightly less to evolve

Good luck stopping Team Rocket!
