The first week of the themed weekly challenges of Pokemon GO for the GO Fest 2020 is done, and we have now entered the second week, which runs from July 10 to July 15 and will be featuring the battle with Team Rocket.
New Weekly Themed Challenge
According to Polygon, several dark and psychic-type Pokemon will be spawning more during the event, especially Meowth, Alolan Rattata, and Grimer.
Players will also see more of the Team Rocket balloons floating around your area more and Team Go Rocket Grunts that you can defeat to have a chance at capturing Shadow Pokemon and purifying them.
Remember, if one million Pokemon GO players from each team (Instinct, Mystic, and Valor) complete this week's themed challenges, more Pokemon will spawn during the Pokemon GO Fest 2020, which will happen later this month.
Here are the Pokemon each team can expect:
- Mystic - Alolan Grimer
- Valor - Alolan Marowak
- Instinct - Ferroseed
