Niantic has already confirmed that Pokémon GO will receive a special visit. And it is that, as the rumors showed, Team Rocket is once again a leading character in the Pokémon franchise, also on mobile phones. What was not known until now is that, with their visit, they would also leave new variations of Pokémon free for mapping. It's about the Shadow Pokémon or dark Pokémon and, thanks to the research of some users, we already know what these special beings will be.
At the moment it is only known that his presence in Pokémon GO is related to the appearance of Team Rocket. However, the reason or the link between the two concepts is unknown. Everything indicates that some investigation or mission of Team Rocket has modified certain Pokémon to make them dark, gloomy and, presumably, more dangerous Something that comes off the aura of purple color and red eyes with which these beings are represented. For now Niantic has confirmed that it will be possible to capture them, but only rumors state that they will have new mechanics and elements. It'll have to wait and see.
What we don't have to wait for is the complete list of dark Pokémon that will come to Pokémon GO. And, as we said, the researchers who have scrutinized the code of the latest Pokémon update have been able to see lines with direct references to these beings.That is, we will find dark versions of the following Pokémon:
Rattata
Raticate
Zubat
Golbat
Bulbasaur
Ivysaur
Venusaur
Charmander
Charmeleon
Charizard
Squirtle
Wartortle
Blastoise
Dratini
Dragonair
Dragonite
Snorlax
Crobat
Mudkip
Marshtomp
Swampert
Dark Pokémon and Purified Pokémon
Another fact that is known about all these dark Pokémon is that they will have an extra value very similar to that of the genre.And there will be two options: dark or purified. Along with this information extracted directly from the game code, it is known that there will also be a new medal related to these beings Or rather, with the number of Pokémon in a purified state .
All this leads us to think that, along with the appearance and combat of members of Team Rocket, who are the cause of the appearance of the dark Pokémon, there will be some kind of Mechanics or mini-game to purify these Shadow Pokémon Maybe you just have to fight and defeat them, or maybe you have to capture and walk with them. At the moment there are no more details, but everything indicates that these novelties will come loaded to seek to encourage the players.
When will the dark Pokémon and Team Rocket be seen in Pokémon GO
It is the other missing data. However, based on all the information discovered, it is not unreasonable to think that we are a few days away from this appearance. On the one hand, Niantic has confirmed the presence of Team Rocket on its networks and official blog, and on the other, it is already known that the dark Pokémon are in the game's hidden code. So it's a matter of time before we see the appearance of some or all of these elements.
Rumors point to this same month of July for the arrival of Team Rocket If everything is really connected, in one or two weeks we will also see the new dark or shadow Pokémon. Undoubtedly, a key element to keep attention on this game. Even more so when his first cousin, Harry Potter Wizards Unite, is also present in the same Augmented Reality gaming market.
