The latest refresh actually has a few interesting new pieces of text that hint some things to come, but the Giovanni chain is likely the most interesting to the average player. It seems the big bad boss is on his way back and there is going to be a new Shadow Pokemon to encounter if players manage to make it to the end and complete the challenge. Team GO Rocket is back with their eyes set on capturing Hoopa if players don’t intervene and stop them…

I’m glad to see you, %PLAYERNAME%. I wish I had better news, but it looks like Team GO Rocket is stirring up trouble once again! While out on patrol, Spark and Candela overheard some Team GO Rocket Grunts discussing the organization’s next move. They want to capture Hoopa! It seems their orders came straight from Giovanni himself.

I shudder to think that all this time Giovanni may have been lurking in the shadows just behind us, reaping the benefits of our research. Scheming as we studied Hoopa… There’s no time to lose—we have to stop them! Hoopa Unbound is incredibly powerful, and I have no doubt that Giovanni intends to use it for some sinister purpose.

We’ve also gotten word that Giovanni has turned another Legendary Pokémon into a Shadow Pokémon! The team leaders and I will do what we can, but we’ll need your help if we’re to defeat Giovanni, save the Legendary Shadow Pokémon, and keep Hoopa safe.

Incredible work, %PLAYERNAME%! You’ve successfully defeated Team GO Rocket yet again and saved another Legendary Shadow Pokémon—and Hoopa, too! Speaking of Hoopa, I have a sneaking suspicion that because of your kindness, we might just be lucky enough to witness it as Hoopa Unbound someday soon. What a sight that will be, eh?

We’ve come a long way in our research, and unlocking Hoopa’s true power may be the final trial in this mysterious saga. Are you ready, Trainer? Let’s GO!

At this point, that is everything we know about the upcoming challenges. No release date or name for the upcoming challenge have been announced. Keep in mind that none of that dialogue is live in the game yet and it could all change before it goes live. Either way, players should certainly learn a lot more details about upcoming events throughout the final days of the Season of Mischief.

Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
