A recent datamine for Pokémon GO has accurately predicted new Shadow Pokémon from the upcoming All-Hands Rocket Retreat, including Legendary Latias. Shadow Pokémon, which can be caught after defeating Team GO Rocket members, offer players a chance to rescue and purify companions for boosts. The mechanic has been used as part of standard gameplay, and as reward encounters during events, with Legendary Pokémon particularly sought after for high stats and powerful move sets.
Currently, Pokémon GO has offered numerous events both in the past months and in the upcoming weeks. The content push comes alongside the Seasons of Alola long-term Pokémon GO event that has introduced a large number of Generation Seven Pokémon from Sun and Moon. For many, these opportunities have been a great incentive to get back outside and play, especially with the weather warming up.

While there haven't been any confirmations from Niantic regarding any events after the All-Hands Rocket Retreat, it is possible players will learn more as information for the upcoming Pokémon GO Fest 2022 planned for June, July, and August begins to release.
