A Pokemon Go player has managed to defeat Team Rocket's Sierra using just a single Pokemon, the Ultra Beast Xurkitree. With its high attack stat and two powerful moves, the player was able to quickly break shields and take down Sierra's entire lineup. This impressive battle strategy showcases the player's skill and highlights the recent refresh of Team Rocket battles in Pokemon Go.
The Pokémon Company has released a new line of Team Rocket merchandise and apparel, featuring overpriced hats, jackets, and accessories. While the collection lacks references to the buffoonish duo from the anime, it still offers a fashionable way to represent your allegiance to the iconic crime syndicate. Prices range from nearly a hundred dollars or more for some of the clothing items.
Pokémon Go introduces Shadow Raids, allowing players to battle and capture Shadow Pokémon in-person only. The raids will come in different difficulty levels and feature Shadow Legendary Pokémon, starting with Shadow Mewtwo. The introduction of Shadow Raids is part of Niantic's push to get people outside and introduce fresh gameplay mechanics. The Remote Raid nerf was necessary to balance the game and make access to rare and powerful creatures more challenging. Shadow Raids will debut next week, with all raids featuring Shadow Pokémon on Saturday, 27th May.
