Trainers, A New way of Team GO Rocket Invasion is coming in Pokemon GO and It is like the original Pokemon TV Series where Jessie and James used to invade.

A new version of Pokemon GO 0.179.0 is rolling out slowly and Data Miners have found the presence of Team GO Rocket Air Ballon and Invasion Grunts – Credits to PokeMiners for Data Mine Report!

Update: Recently in 2 of the Pokemon GO posts, the presence of Team GO Rocket Hot Air Ballon has been found. We have attached the posts at the end of this post.

Note: Currently the feature is not live.

A Large Logo

A Large Team GO Rocket Logo has been found, presumably to go on the rocket balloon.

Grunts

With the release of a new version of Pokemon GO, Rocket Invasions were split into two separate categories, one for PokeStops and one for Balloons.

A new type of Rocket Invasion (GRUNTB) was made for the Balloon, separating it from the Pokéstop invasions.

Two new grunts were also added CHARACTER_GRUNTB_FEMALE and a CHARACTER_GRUNTB_MALE

This implies that you would not battle Giovanni or the Leaders as they have their own Type.
