Pokémon Go: How to catch a shadow Latios

For a brief period of time, you can catch shadow Latios in Pokémon Go. This Pokémon can only be caught in a certain way, so be sure you can catch it before it vanishes. Even though legendary shadow Pokémon are incredibly uncommon, you could have to wait for another special event before this Pokémon shows up again if you miss it. We'll go through how to catch a shadow Latios in Pokémon Go in this article.

Where to find a shadow Latios

In order to locate and capture a shadow Latios, Giovanni, the commander of Team Rocket, must be defeated. He frequently catches legendary Pokémon, transforming them into shadows forms that are more powerful than their original forms. But in order to locate Giovanni, you will want a Super Rocket Radar, which you can get as a bonus for doing every Field Notes: Team Go Rocket Special Research mission. At the conclusion of the fourth job, you will get it.

Field Notes During the Battle Weekend of the sixth Anniversary event for Pokémon Go, Special Research is a momentary event. It will be delivered to you starting on July 9 at 12 AM local time. You have till midnight on July 10 to finish it. The tasks in the Special Research center on you engaging in combat with Team Rocket members and pursuing the various organization leaders. You will eventually face Giovanni, and to catch shadow Latios, you must prevail over him.

After you've caught shadow Latios, we do not advise purifying it. Even more so than the routinely occurring legendary Pokémon seen in five-star raids, the legendary shadow Pokémon is incredibly rare. After this Battle Weekend, players won't have access to Special Research, and the Super Rocket Radar won't show up until the following Team Rocket event.
