Pokémon Go A Shadowy Disturbance: all Special Research Tasks
A Shadowy Disturbance is the newest Rocket Special Research in Pokémon Go and will be available to anyone logging into the game until the next quest of this type comes around. That means you won’t get this mission if you’re still working on any of the previous Rocket Special Research stories, since you can only have one of these at a time.
This Special Research is an interesting departure from the usual formula of these quests: It doesn’t require you to purify any Shadow Pokémon you caught – a task that has always been regarded as too costly and annoying by players – and you get less Rocket Radar items from mission rewards, which means you’ll have to battle more Rocket Grunts to complete the story. However, the rewards have been peppered with tons of Stardust drops, which is a pretty good bonus for anyone looking to power up their Pokémon.
Here are all Pokémon Go A Shadowy Disturbance tasks and their rewards.
