It's time once again! The Greedy Gluttons event has been announced, and Guzzlord is crossing over to devour everything in its way. This Dark/Dragon Type Ultra Beast has a lot to offer, so be sure to check out our Exclusive Guide to this monster, but don't think that it's coming alone! We've long waited for a new Rocket Takeover, and it's finally here... and with an unexpected bonus! Not only do we get the normal fare of TMing away Frustration while Rockets hound Pokestops more often, we also get another chance at none other than Shadow Mewtwo! This is definitely an event that shouldn't be missed!
