Pokémon Go is refreshing the Team Rocket encounters in the latest event, “Taken Treasure,” which runs from Jan. 27 until Feb. 1.
The event has the usual Team Go Rocket event bonuses that we’re used to seeing: Team Go Rocket balloons will appear once every three hours and you can use Charged TMs to remove the move Frustration from shadow Pokémon.
In addition to this, all the Team Go Rocket leaders and Giovanni have new Pokémon lineups.
For the non-shadow Pokémon lovers, this event also adds Varoom, which can be hatched out of 12 km eggs.
Below, we list all the event perks and Timed Research for Pokémon Go’s “Taken Treasures” event.
