Precious Pals: Taken Over

Team GO Rocket takes over from 23 to 25 January, with Special Research that leads to Giovanni and the chance to rescue Shadow Thundurus in its Incarnate Forme. Grunts are also using Shadow Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie. It's a good weekend to battle Team GO Rocket and to remove Frustration from your Shadow Pokémon.
