Pokemon Go All-Hands Rocket Retreat event adds the Slithery Salandit and Salazzle

Team Go Rocket will soon be living island life in a new limited-time event: the Pokemon Go All-Hands Rocket Retreat.

The event kicks off on April 3 at noon local time and runs through April 7 at 11:59 pm local time, and the fiendish Team Go Rocket will attempt to steal some of Alola’s rarest Pokemon. Players can complete event-themed research tasks that grant them special rewards, including the ability to capture Shadow Latias.

The event also adds two new Alolan Pokemon to the game: the Fire and Poison type Salandit and its evolution Salazzle. It takes 50 Salandit candies to evolve Salandit into Salazzle, but only a female Salandit can evolve, so make sure you get the right one.

The full list of events during the All-Hands Rocket Retreat is below:

• New Pokemon

• Special investigation

• New Shadow Pokemon

  • Shadow Alolan Rattata

  • Shadow Alolan Exeggutor

  • Shadow Alolan Sandshrew

  • Shadow Giraffe
