Of all the rewards that can be earned through the Shadowy Skirmishes Special Research, the Super Rocket Radar is perhaps the most exciting. This item allows players to battle Giovanni, the Team GO Rocket Boss, and catch hisShadow Legendary Pokemon.
That said,Pokemon GOplayersmay not want to use their Super Rocket Radars to battle Giovanni during this Team GO Rocket Takeover event, as his Shadow Legendary Pokemon, Shadow Registeel, is a bit underwhelming. Indeed, a standard Registeel is simply better than its Shadow variant, and fans should thus consider saving their Super Rocket Radars for when Giovanni has a better Legendary Pokemon in his roster.
