Pokemon Go All-Hands Rocket Retreat Event Adds The Slithery Salandit And Salazzle

Team Go Rocket will soon be living the island life in a new limited-time event: the Pokemon Go All-Hands Rocket Retreat.

The even kicks off April 3 at 12 AM local time and will run until April 7 at 11:59 PM local time, and it will see the fiendish Team Go Rocket try to steal some of Alola’s rarest Pokemon. Players will be able to complete event-themed research tasks that will net them special rewards, including the ability to catch Shadow Latias.

The Alolan forms of Rattata, Exeggutor, and Sandshrew will join the Shadow ranks in this new event.
