Pokemon GOplayers are in for a surprise challenge over the next few weeks now that theTeam GO Rocket leadersseem to have once again rotated to a new lineup of fighters. Players around the globe have started reporting the changes, so it is time to prepare for a new lineup of challengers.

Encountering Team GO Rocket leaders inPokemon GOis a great way for trainers to get some practice in against very challenging lineups. All of the leaders are very beatable for players who are using the right -type match ups, but the fights can be devastating for players who go in blind. This new rotation means that challengers will need to rethink their rosters for a few of the big fights.

Pokemon GOhasn’t confirmed theTeam GO Rocket leader shadow roster rotationsyet, but there are enough reports pouring in to confirm that they are definitely happening. It will be interesting to see if this change is followed up by another Team Rocket event in the near future or if it is a standalone change.

The new lineups look pretty tough and players will want to make sure to carefully plan their rosters before heading into the big fights. Don’t forget to use some Stardust to power up the correct Pokemon and don’t be afraid to burn a few TMs to get the right move sets in place for the challenge.
