The Team Rocket gang lit a fire in April in Pokémon Go, but it looks like things are calming down for May 2022. If you haven’t already had your chance to encounter Giovanni for the month, we recommend you go after him to try and catch his elusive legendary shadow Pokémon, and you’ll have to face off against Cliff to make it to him.
