Start collecting Rocket Radar before the GO Fest 2020, New text dialogue have been found saying Team GO Rocket leaders have captured some Flying-type Legendary Poke on and turned them in Shadow Pokemon!
We can expect the 3 Legendary birds Articuno, Zapos and Moltres from the Team GO Rocket Leaders!
RESOURCE ID: gofest2020_quest_rocket_dialogue_2_1 TEXT: The team leaders and I have been scoping out the Team GO Rocket members traveling via balloon and have discovered that the Team GO Rocket leaders are using Flying-type Pokémon. RESOURCE ID: gofest2020_quest_rocket_dialogue_2_2 TEXT: Sources are telling me that they might have captured some Legendary Pokémon and turned them into Shadow Pokémon! RESOURCE ID: gofest2020_quest_rocket_dialogue_3_1 TEXT: Candela, Blanche, and Spark can handle the Team GO Rocket leaders from here while you prepare to face the boss. It's extremely interesting to see the Team GO Rocket Leaders commanding these Shadow Legendary Pokémon which are usually reserved for the boss himself.
It appears that Giovanni have captured Mewtwo and turned it into Shadow Mewtwo and you will get the chance to rescue the Pokemon at GO Fest 2020.
