Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> is full of activities for players beyond just catching Pok\u00e9mon. One of those activities is encountering Team Go Rocket Grunts, who since 2019 have been taking over Pok\u00e9Stops and trying to steal items. Nowadays, they even appear in hot air balloons in the game\u2019s overworld.<\/p>
It’s not just the drive to battle criminals in the Pok\u00e9mon world that might lead a player to face a Grunt. Battling them grants players rewards, including the possibility to capture a Shadow Pok\u00e9mon, which can be a powerful ally in battle. They also drop special items called the Mysterious Component, which, when combined with five others, allows the player to find one of the Team Go Rocket Leaders.<\/p>
Some of these Grunts can be really tough to deal with if you’re not prepared. The best approach is not to rely on luck and know exactly what you’re going to face to choose an appropriate team. After all, the fewer Pokemon you lose in battle, the more Premier Balls you’ll have to rescue the Shadow Pokemon.<\/p>
