Pokémon GO Fest 2020 Full Day Two Details Revealed

The second day of GO Fest 2020 has started for trainers in certain regions of the world, and news of what the Pokémon GO event entails is pouring in. Bleeding Cool is here to let you know what to expect on Day Two in another simple, comprehensive list. The biomes of Day One are gone along with the Global Challenges, replaced with a six-part Special Victini Research and a Team GO Rocket Takeover.

Team GO Rocket Takeover GO Fest 2020

  • Almost every stop will become a Team GO Rocket stop
  • Team GO Rocket grunts will be significantly easier to defeat
  • Sierra, Arlo, and Cliff battles reward encounters with Shadow Beldum, Shadow Pinsir, and Shadow Mawhile, who can all be shiny
  • Giovanni battles reward encounters with Shadow Persian, who cannot be shiny

These will remain the same, although, with no biomes to divide them up, a free-for-all is expected.

Shadow Legendary Birds

  • Shadow Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are obtainable
  • The Team GO Rocket leaders, as we broke, will have the Legendary Birds
  • You can catch them through defeating the Leaders in the research, so don't panic when your encounter leads to one of their other Shadow Pokémon

Shadow Mewtwo

  • Giovanni will fight with Shadow Mewtwo but, as with the team leaders, it will be available through the Special Research rather than directly following the encounter
