Team Rocket is live!

Thanks to our resident videographer (@Arem1771) for posting one here:

Team Rocket Takeover

Awesome. Thx!

It also appears to offer something that isn’t dependent on how well you can rally other players to join for a team effort, the way the tier-5 raids often are. I’m not a big fan of PvP; but sometimes it would be preferable to begging on Discord for a team to join a raid that I want to do, when everybody around has either used that day’s free raid pass, has gone back to work after lunch, or has grown tired of the raid boss in question…

I haven’t seen a single invaded stop since noon here, either :thinking:

A post was merged into an existing topic: Share Pokémon GO Codes & Add Friends (Official Megathread)

Just spent 2 hours in a small town with around 15 pokestops visible from a central location. No Team Rocket! Not a sniff. Nada. Sweet FA. WTF!?! :face_with_symbols_over_mouth::triumph:🥺:frowning:️

Didn’t see a single Shadow Pokestop yesterday to and from work or including watching my screen set on the 2 I can see from my house for 6hrs last night.
I won’t go out of my way to chase these but will do them if I’m near one at the time and have the time.

2 hours of looking and no shadow stops. Also did a couple raids and everyone I talked to said same thing??

I play odd hours but quite a bit. I haven’t seen any either but I’m going back out later to look.

There’s been talk on my Discord that around 1 PM our time, they just stopped appearing.

EDIT: Oh, lordy, it was on purpose:

Disgraceful tactics by Niantic to release something new into the game that appears at random then pull it from the game and not let people know while they are out there wasting their time looking.
By the way I’m just being sarcastic ^ not serious. I find it amusing tbh.

It actually sounds just like something Team Rocket would do.

While I wasn’t exactly gung ho for the Team Rocket feature when it came out, I wasn’t exactly hot for it to go after just a day or so. But I won’t complain, either.

If they took it offline to fix some major problem with it, then I hope they wait to turn it back on until it’s actually fixed.

I wish there was a way to turn off Team Rocket Invasions. They are just annoying because I have no idea how to win them and they steal items.

I agree too I found it boring, if only we could turn them off.

Big Ttar with Bite/Crunch or Bite/Stone Edge will get you through most is what I’ve herd many say.
I use my L40 93% Giratina with Shadow Claw / Shadow Ball and that is enough to go through all 3 on most occasions. It’s not often I have needed the second one which just happens to be the same.

You may read their last sentence before entering the battle, it gives an idea what Pokémon they will be using so you can adjust your team to properly counter their team. When some sentences might be very vague, like “winning is for winning”, “prepare to be defeated”, “don’t bother I’ve already won”, you may use your strong team.
