Watch out Pokétrainers, there's a new threat in Pokémon GO. This is the classic Team Rocket, although adapted to the mobile game. Hence, it appears with the last name GO: Team GO Rocket. But the most interesting are the dynamics that have been introduced into the game. A breath of fresh air to add more interesting combat and mini-games to this title. Here we tell you how to do in these invasions of Team GO Rocket to try to win the match or, at least, know what to expect and how these mechanics work dark pokemon.
Once you have updated Pokémon GO to its latest version, from now on you will find new special pokéstops scattered throughout the map. They are easily identifiable, with a darker and varying color. They even move erratically to get our attention. If they are also close to other normal poképaradas the difference is even more noticeable.
Of course, when you get closer to them and set them up, they also look different from other PokeStops. They are darker, almost black, and have a red R at the top just in case there was any doubt. A Team GO Rocket minion even appears at his side to let you know that an invasion has taken place here. Any more questions? Well now touch combatir
Team GO Rocket Invasions
This is a new system that takes battles to the street, without the need for other Pokémon trainers or to participate in regular raids. You just have to click on the henchman on duty at the poképarada to start the fight. A necessary process to free this point from the influence of Team GO Rocket. In addition to being a fun activity that offers us some rewards such as experience and the possibility of capturing a dark Pokémon
Here it is important to pay attention to the minion's conversation. And it is that the experts in Pokémon GO have already discovered that, depending on one or another line of text, the opponents use a certain type of Pokémon. This track can be key to choosing our best team in each case. Remember that only if you win the battle can you free the PokéStop from its dark influence and, most importantly, you will be able to capture a shadow Pokémon.These are the phrases you have to pay attention to according to Pokexperto.com:
Once we are clear about the type of Pokémon, we have a certain advantage to choose three more effective Pokémon when it comes to fighting. A combat that, by the way, has the same rules as any combat between trainers. That is, 3 vs 3 Pokémon together with two shields. In this way we click on the screen to attack, being able to load an attack, which is presented as a minigame in itself, having to pick up its icon to load it at its maximum power. Of course, the Team GO Rocket recruit can do the same. At this moment we are presented with the option to use one of the two shields So you better think about your movements and keep an eye on the progress of the combat to see when you are most interested in using it and extending the life of one of your three Pokémon.
It's okay if you can't beat the recruit. But the important thing happens if you manage to defeat all three of his Pokémon. And it is that this will make it flee quickly and quickly, which, in turn, causes one of its Pokémon to become available at the pokéstop. This is a dark Pokémon that you can catch
Catching the Shadow Pokémon
When a Team GO Rocket minion is defeated, depending on how the fight went, we are awarded a series of Honor BallsSpecial Pokéballs, such as those from raids, with which to capture a special Pokémon: the shadow Pokémon left behind by the recruit.
These Pokémon are very difficult to catch. They are easily identifiable as dark due to the red color of their eyes and the mysterious purple halo that surrounds themThis type of Pokémon is more active and aggressive. Its circle is usually red even with Honor Balls, so you'd better lean on the berries to capture it.
The number of Honor Balls received after combat with the recruit depends on several aspects. Here you can take a look at a table to know how to get more capture opportunities:
Dark Pokémon are interesting for what they can be. And it is that, when they are in dark mode, their disadvantages are expensive, both to improve them and to fight with them. But if they are purified, things change. In this way, while they are dark their consumption of stardust is 200% greater than normal But when they are purified their combat qualities increase. In addition, its training is 10% cheaper than that of any Pokémon in use.
So catching these shadowy Pokémon is a most interesting long-term activity And it's a good way to get hold of Powerful Pokémon if you dedicate yourself to training them once you have purified them. Of course, that requires a lot of patience and a lot of stardust.
