However, there won’t be just one day of battles this month, but rather a full weekend of them! Until recently, no one knew exactly what was going on, but things have shifted since then. Last night, Niantic revealed the following:

The event will take place all day on July 9 and 10

A Team GO Rocket balloon appears every three hours

You get four times more Stardust as Team GO Rocket reward

You can unlearn Frustration from a Pokémon with a Charged TM

You can do twenty GO Battle League sets per day

Shadow Latios comes into play for the first time and is Giovanni’s new Pokémon

Shadow Geodude, Shadow Shinx and Shadow Purloin come into the game for the first time

There is a new Special Research for Giovanni and it will remain until September 1st

This weekend’s Pokémon GO Battle Weekend is primarily about Team GO Rocket and the GO Battle League just tangentially.
