Article by Brian Tein

It's almost time for another Team Rocket Takeover! This recurring event is among the most important in the game, as it's our only opportunity to remove Frustration from the Shadow Pokemon that we've collected from Rocket Stops and Balloons over the past few months. However, this one is particularly important as it features a Special Research line that will result in an encounter with none other than Shadow Mewtwo!

And since we only have until December 1 at 10:00 a.m. to finish this line, we're here to give a heads-up as to what this research line will require so that everyone can get ready a little early!
