Team Go Rocket’s story has started unfolding as some interesting details regarding a mysterious component have been revealed. In an official blog post, it has been revealed that Professor Willow was researching on Team Go Rocket, and he has found some interesting things.

Professor Willow has also shared his report with the trainers. Under his investigation, he found strange objects that Team Go Rocket would drop upon being defeated in battle. He has currently named these strange items as Mysterious Components.

The outer part of these objects are made of some metal alloy and are very cold. The glass screen gives out a light purple color. He touched the glass screen to see if it would react, but nothing happened. Professor Willow thinks that when Team Go Rocket Grunts were using some sort of device to take over Pokestops and collect resources.

He also thinks that these mysterious components are serving the purpose of Pokestops takeover. But he thinks that Team Go Rocket is using this technology for other purposes too. He said he will use these components to track down Team Go Rocket hideouts, and he will update the trainers when he finds something more.

For a quick refresher, Team Go Rocket made entry to the game in July 2019. Team Go Rocket Grunts invaded Pokestops with Shadow Pokemon. Speaking of Shadow Pokemon, they are Pokemon with a dark and evil aura.
