A brand new Special Research story with a Super Rocket Radar will be available for players to claim and will remain so until the end of Season 10 Rising Heroes on June 1 at 10:00 am local time. Trainers can make use of this item to search for Giovanni and stand a chance to capture Shadow Regice.

The possible team combinations for Team GO Rocket leaders Arlo, Cliff, and Sierra that Pokemon GO trainers will have to prepare for are as follows:

Team for Arlo

• 1st Pokemon: Teddiursa (obtainable, shiny variant might be encountered)
• 2nd Pokemon: Hypno, Blaziken, or Golurk

Pokemon GO trainers will need to beat all three Team GO Rocket Leaders if they wish to assemble the Super Rocket Radar through the aforementioned Special Research and locate the Team GO Rocket Boss Giovanni. With proper strategies and effective type counters, trainers shouldn't have too much trouble defeating the three Team GO Rocket Leaders.

Once trainers have the Rocket Radar assembled and activated, the Team GO Rocket Leaders can be encountered in both GO Rocket hot air balloons and at PokeStops that have been taken over by Team GO Rocket.
