After Team Rocket stole what was waiting for Professor Willow and his team behind the mysterious closed door in Pokémon Go, the villainous team now has possession of an Apex Shadow Lugia and Apex Shadow Ho-Oh.

We’ll need to wait and see if there are any stat changes to these two, as Shadow Ho-Oh is seen as a stronger combatant than the purified version.
