Pokemon Go

The makers of Pokemon GO have announced that Team GO Rocket will reappear in the game and will bring more Shadow Pokemon.

Every player with pocket creatures is familiar with Team GO Rocket, whose boss is Giovanni. This one sends not only members of his group, but also the leaders – Sierra, Cliff, and Arlo, who have various Shadow Pokémon, and for defeating them you can get 12 km eggs.

Of course, the return of Team GO Rocket involves not only a new pool of Shadow Creatures but also the possibility of removing the Frustration attack.
