El Team Go Rocket It is a team that is made up of villains found in the world of Pokémon Go. This team is made up of a series of recruits or characters, whom you can face to be able to get their pokemons, but it is not so easy to achieve.
In this post we are going to give you a series of data that will allow you to find the recruits and face them, you will know the how you can defeat them And when do they appear?
When does it appear?
The Team go Rocket team appears at the moment when a black Hot Air Balloon is shown, which we will explain later. this balloon appears every 6 hours, and in the case of Team Go Rocket special events they appear every 3 hours.
History of Team Go Rocket
The first appearance that Team Go Rocket made in Pokémon go was on July 22, 2019. At that time made occasional appearances but then they stopped showing up. On July 25 of the same year they were shown again, but on larger scales close to space research.
From the beginning, Team Go Rocket uses Dark-type Pokémon, which help them steal resources from different PokéStops. The players who can find them are those who have level 8 or higher.
After having many losses, on August 1, 2019, Team Rocket decided to amplify the variety of Shadow Pokémon and they do the same on September 5, 2019.
Who are the members of Team Rocket?
In Team Go Rocket you can see different members, these are:
- Cliff
- Sierra
- Arlo
- Jessie
- James
- John
Each of them has different Pokémon and you can find them randomly at the Pokemon stops they want to raid.
Hot air balloon
There was game update which is number 0.179.2 and In it, a new function could be added in which the recruits and the leaders of the team Go Rocket can make their appearances with the help of a hot air balloon that is black and has the symbol of Team Go Rocket.
This hot air balloon approaches your current location so that it can do the combat challenge with you at the pokestops.
Battles with Team go Rocket
If you approach the pokestop, leave it or touch the recruit next to it, he will challenge you to fight with Team Go Rocket and you will have the options to be able to refuse or accept combat.
Battles with Team Go Rocket have a few differences compared to battles against normal trainers. The difference are:
- The Pokémon you use during battle they do not heal automatically.
- The recruit that is part of Team Go Rocket is only going to attack you with dark pokemon.
NOTE: It is important that you take into account that in the phrase that is shown at the moment of starting the combat, the recruit mentions a clue with which you can figure out which Pokémon is leading your team.
Where to find Team Go Rocket Team Leaders?
People who can find the main leaders of Team Go Rocket in Pokémon GO must meet a series of requirements. Before, we also indicated that the leaders are Arlo, Sierra and Cliff. The requirements that you must meet are:
- They can only be found by players who are from Level 8 or more as a pokemon trainer.
- You must explore the Pokestops or find hot air balloons to find the recruits that are part of Team Go Rocket.
- If you manage to beat the recruits, you can earn a number of components that are completely mysterious, the moment you collect 6, you have a chance to make a RocketRadar.
- As soon as you get the rocket radar you can activate it and you will be able to find the pokestops and Rocket balloons that have the leaders that are part of Team Go Rocket. The Rocket Radar does not operate between 22:6 p.m. and XNUMX:XNUMX a.m. in your region.
- The moment you manage to defeat a leader, the Radar Rocket consumes all your energies and you have to repeat the steps that we have indicated to find another leader.
- If the trainers manage to find the area where the Rocket Leader is, other players can find it too without having to do a Rocket Radar.
- When you get your Radar Rocket, you have a chance to buy another one of them in the Pokémon Go store. This one has a cost of 200 pokemonedas. But, you also have the option to collect all 6 Mysterious Components again to craft one.
