March is a busy month for Pokemon Go, with a variety of different events on the way over the next few weeks, including the kickoff of the Go Battle League’s inaugural season. Two of this month’s events are now live, both of which will run through Monday, March 9.
Team Rocket Takeover
First is the Team Rocket takeover. From now until 10 PM local time on March 9, Dark, Poison, and other Pokemon typically associated with Team Rocket will appear more often in the wild. The rare Dark type Absol is one of the Pokemon you’ll be able to encounter, and you’ll also have a chance to find a Shiny Skorupi for the first time in Pokemon Go.
During the event, there will be a surge in Team Rocket activity on Saturday, March 7, from 2-5 PM local time. During that window, more Poke Stops will be under the control of Team Rocket grunts. Team Rocket leaders Sierra, Arlo, Cliff, and even Giovanni will also be more active during this time. Not only will you earn twice the usual amount of Stardust for defeating the leaders, there’s a chance the Shadow Pokemon you rescue from them could be Shiny.
