Invasions.

It is basically a feature present in Pokemon Go that will allow you to battle an NPC trainer in the game for rescuing the Shadow Pokemon and after this, you can receive the reward.

These battles rank from simple to downright challenging. This is a part of a big story line; you can also have several special quests in this game.

Pokemon Go Team Rocket Encounter.

The specialty of team Go Rocket is, they always use a simple Pokemon but they can change them into identifiable easily. They also have a unique blue cube that floats above them, and when you get near to the Pokestop, it will turn into a dark gray version having a Red R that will be hovering above it.

You’ll see that one of the members of team rocket will appear and start to tap on them, by this the battle will start.

Pokemon Go team Rocket: Invasion’s working

Whenever you will spin an invaded PokeStop, you are actually challenging them to battle just like the one you are used to seeing against team leaders and friends.

These battles comprise the same type of three Pokemon, so before battling, you have to make sure that you have a selection of battle parties having different types for counteracting this.

That pokemon, that you fight, is now captured by Team Go Rocket. Now, these pokemons will appear with Red Glowing eyes and a dark cloud of energy. Once you will be able to defeat them in the battle, you can then have a chance of catching these Pokemons which contain these unique stats from any other normal pokemon.

They now have higher attacking power in exchange of lower defensive capabilities and they are now much more aggressive than before. They can now make for the ideal glass cannon. They are some of the best encounters now for certain Raid Battles.

Based on your performance, you can have Premier Pokeballs. It is also based on numbers of shadow pokemon you have purified and rescued. So, you have to catch a shadow Pokemon, and if you got lucky enough in capturing a shadow Pokemon, then it’s totally your choice whether you want to purify a shadow pokemon or you want to keep it as a Shadow Pokemon.

Pokemon you will purify now have their CP boosted, stats leveled and it will cost less power for powering up. Both purified pokemon and shadow pokemon have special moves. These moves can only be changed during special events or Elite TMs.
