Pokemon GO Fans Disappointed by New Team Rocket Event
Niantic has announced the next Team GO Rocket Takeover event in Pokemon GO, featuring Shadow Cresselia and Lugia. However, the absence of Shadow Rayquaza has left many fans disappointed. Despite the exciting elements planned for the event, the community's reaction has been far from positive.

Recent Pokemon GO Events

Pokemon GO has recently hosted several significant events, including Ultra Unlocks and global celebrations for this year's Pokemon GO Fest. While events like the Pokemon GO Mega Lucario Raid Day stirred some controversy, they still provided players with opportunities to catch various Pokemon and earn rewards. The upcoming event, however, has not met the community's expectations.

Details of the New Team GO Rocket Takeover Event

In a tweet, Niantic announced the new Team GO Rocket Takeover event, titled Adventure Week: Taken Over. The event will run from August 8 at midnight to August 12 at 11:59 p.m. local time. Key features include:

- Shadow Lugia: Available in 5-star Shadow raids.

- Shadow Cresselia: Part of Giovanni's Special Research.

- Shadow Variants: Timburr, Tirtouga, and Archen can be obtained by battling Team GO Rocket Grunts.

- Other Shadow Raids: Featuring Mareep, Wooper, Cranidos, Shieldon, Nuzleaf, Manectric, and Vibrava.

Despite the event being packed with features, the inclusion of Cresselia instead of Rayquaza has not impressed the community. Many players were anticipating the debut of Shadow Rayquaza, especially given the recent focus on Rayquaza in the Shared Skies season.

Community's Disappointment

The Shared Skies season heavily featured Rayquaza, with players having the chance to catch Mega Rayquaza in Elite Raids. This led to the expectation that Shadow Rayquaza would be included in the upcoming event. However, Niantic's decision to feature Cresselia has left fans feeling let down. While Cresselia has its own fanbase, Rayquaza is a favorite among many Pokemon enthusiasts.

Adding to the disappointment is the appearance of Apex Shadow Lugia in the Shared Skies trailer. The trailer showcased a version of Shadow Lugia with white lightning, a trait exclusive to the Apex variant. However, Niantic has only announced the regular Shadow variant for the event. Apex Shadow Lugia, known for its powerful move Aeroblast+, would have been a thrilling addition, and fans hope Niantic will address this oversight in the future.

Final Thoughts

Niantic's announcement of the new Team GO Rocket Takeover event has stirred mixed feelings among the Pokemon GO community. While the event offers exciting features and opportunities to catch rare Shadow Pokemon, the absence of Shadow Rayquaza and the regular Shadow variant of Lugia have overshadowed the excitement. As the event unfolds from August 8 to August 12, players remain hopeful that future updates will bring the much-anticipated Shadow Rayquaza and possibly the Apex Shadow Lugia. For now, the community waits to see how Niantic responds to their feedback and whether the upcoming events will meet their expectations.
