Shadow Pokemon Lineup in Pokemon GO | The Silph Road

Pokemon Go Team Rocket Lineup

Update April 1st, 2023: The Rocket Takeover of Season 10: Rising Heroes is here and the new line-ups are currently being confirmed. With the start of the event you will be able to encounter shiny shadow Pokémon from Team Go Rocket grunts for the first time (intended) and this feature will stay after the takeover has ended! (Please note we may not be able to visually represent this on the website but we will try to get this changed asap!). Also don't forget to remove Frustration during the event! If an invasion type is able to reward you from the second slot, you have a 15% of encountering that species after defeating the grunt. Giovanni's current reward encounter is Regice.

Listed below are the current line-ups for Team GO Rocket's grunts and leaders. After defeating your opponent, you will have the opportunity to capture one of their Pokemon in its shadow form.

Totals in each column may not always match. There are a variety of reasons a researcher might have missed one Pokemon, including game crashes or not defeating their opponent.
