I guess it’s too late here. Team Rocket appears only during the day like raids. Europe will have to wait again.

A friend here reported an encounter at 23:40. Last raid ended at 23:20 so they are atleast late still active

I already battled one of the GO Rocket Grunts this morning, and another one of the stops around is wiggling, but I can’t get out, since I’m at work now.  
I’m not too excited about this after trying though. It’s a nice twist and all that, and it gives those who only have a stop and no gyms around more to do. For free. You need rivives/potions afterwards, FYI.

Let’s see if more battles can get me more excited. It’s still a welcome change and I hope it doesn’t interfere with the Go Plus…

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…

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.

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