On October 24, 2019, a new edition of the Willow Report was released on Pokemon GO's live blog featuring some new information on the upcoming event. The new note alludes to finding the Team GO Rocket hideouts, Tem GO Rocket Leaders, and even Giovanni.
A new image shows what the early Rocket Radar will look like, seen above. This update comes just two days after the first Willow Report which revealed that Professor Willow was using "mysterious components" to put together a radar to track down Team GO Rocket.
No new information was provided in this announcement, but players are eagerly anticipating the next story chapter in the Team GO Rocket legacy. Check out the links below for our Team GO Rocket guide and info on the latest datamine, 0.159.0.

Subject: [Willow Report] Early Rocket Radar Prototype
We’re getting closer to finding another use for these Mysterious Components. I’ve been developing a prototype for something I call the Rocket Radar by combining several of the components together, but it’s still not functioning as intended.
I believe that if I can create a functioning prototype of this Rocket Radar, we might be able to use Team GO Rocket’s own technology to find out where their hideouts are. While it’s relatively easy to find Team GO Rocket Grunts (the PokéStops they hack become noticeably discolored and have a glitch-like appearance), we’ve had a difficult time finding where the Team GO Rocket Leaders—or even Giovanni—are hiding.
These Mysterious Components hold the key to making this Rocket Radar work. I know we can uncover where the Team GO Rocket higher-ups are hiding. I need to rally our team leaders to dig further into this.
