Spinoff/Mobile Team Rocket with Shadow Pokémon launched unannounced in Pokémon GO

I did not expect this to be launched without an announcement...

I am glad about Shadow Pokemon getting a new lease of life. Hope it's available to more than level 40 players soon.

oooh yes, give me my shadow mons, I'm excited for when I can go for a longer walk and (hopefully) encounter these if they're out for me

I'll have to save up for Team Rocket clothes. Gotta go undercover.

Just battled a Rocket Grunt! 😃 It was at my mom's office building, which happens to be a Pokestop - I'd better tell her to stay safe, LOL.
I did pretty well, considering it was basically my first battle in GO; I mainly used an over-1000 CP Tauros. Failed at catching the Shadow Rattata, though :(

Managed to win every battle so far. Do recommend using Pokemon that resist attacks, as that can help a lot and you get more balls for catching the Shadow Pokemon based on how many survive in your side. Throw a ball after they attack as well (a second or so after) to minimise the chance of missing your throw due to it attacking mid-throw.

Only have bulbasaur and rattata so far... I want more variety!

I've been trying to get to them, but my app has been acting up. Hopefully I don't miss anything.
