Pokemon GOtrainers have had a very busy late spring and early summer, despite many members of the community still being stuck at home or practicing safe social distancing. The mobile AR experience has had a ton of exciting events and activities to help keep everyone engaged whether they are out in the world or justplaying from home with the help of Incense. So far, the only thing that has been missing from the warm weather months has been a takeover from Team Go Rocket…
The latestPokemon GOdatamine seems to reveal new plans to bring the bad squad back to the game and offer players more frequent chances to encounter the grunts (likely for a limited time). Unlike prior Team Go Rocket events, this one looks like it’ll include some new features, like a Team Go Rocket hot air balloon that carries grunts around the game’s map.

As always, keep in mind that datamined information has not been confirmed and could entirely change before it ever goes live in the game. Niantic hasn’t mentioned this event yet, so nothing is official. With that in mind, let’s dive into what the code includes.

The bulk of the new code relates to the addition of a Team Go Rocket balloon. From what the dataminers have found so far, it appears that the Balloon will have the ability to spawn certain places on the map, move from location to location, and change height. Only one balloon will be able to appear on the map at a time and, obviously, the balloon is equipped to hold Team Go Rocket grunts.
That’s about all we know so far, but it seems likely that more official details will be revealed in the very near future.
