Complete the GO Pass reward track to earn a <strong>Super Rocket Radar<\/strong>, then use it to locate Giovanni at a Pok\u00e9Stop. Defeat him to rescue Shadow Reshiram. The Dragon\/Fire-type legendary is available for the first time ever in its shadow form during this event, and the shiny version is also in the pool.<\/p>\n<p>A few counters worth having ready: Shadow Reshiram is weak to <strong>Dragon, Ground, and Rock<\/strong> moves. Bring Rayquaza, Palkia, or Kyurem for the Dragon matchup; Groudon, Rhyperior, or Garchomp cover the Ground and Rock angles. Once caught, Reshiram hits hard with Fusion Flare as a charged move, making it one of the best Fire-type attackers in the game.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pokemon-go-shadow-reshiram-event-details.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pokemon GO Shadow Reshiram event details\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Pok\u00e9mon GO \/ The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>New Shadow Pok\u00e9mon and Charged TM Window<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond Giovanni, Team GO Rocket Grunts and Leaders are running an updated Shadow lineup for the event. New Shadow Pok\u00e9mon appearing for the first time include <strong>Shadow Rookidee, Shadow Noibat, Shadow Seel, and Shadow Hoothoot<\/strong>. If any of those are on your want list, this is the window to grind encounters.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, <strong>Charged TMs can remove Frustration<\/strong> from Shadow Pok\u00e9mon during the event period\u2014a mechanic that only opens during specific Team GO Rocket events. If you have legacy Shadow Pok\u00e9mon sitting on Frustration that you\u2019ve been unable to retrain, now is the time. Stock up on Charged TMs and work through your collection before 29 June.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pokemon-go-flying-taxi-event-bonuses.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pokemon GO Flying Taxi event bonuses\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Pok\u00e9mon GO \/ The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Event Bonuses and GO Pass Perks<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pokemon-go-team-rocket-lineup.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pokemon GO Team GO Rocket new Shadow lineup\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Pok\u00e9mon GO \/ The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Team GO Rocket appears more frequently at Pok\u00e9Stops and balloons throughout the event window.
