Invasion is a complete new game mode which is coming to Pokemon GO and it’ll be little more similar to Raids in Pokemon GO.
.INVASION
Currently, according to the code, it seems like Invasion will take place on top of PokeStops all the world. Team Rocket will take over the PokeStop and a grunt of various type is assigned to it. Your task will be to battle with the grunt. If you win then you will get a chance to catch the Shadow Pokemon. It looks much similar to Raid Battles.
There are three main parts of every invasion:
POKESTOP_NORMAL
POKESTOP_ROCKET_INVASION
POKESTOP_ROCKET_VICTORY
After defeating the grunt you will have a certain number of Pokeball at your base to catch the Shadow Pokemon, and a number of bonus Pokeball will get added depending on the number of Grunts defeated and Pokemon Purified, much similar to Raid Battles
