In a new post on the game’s subreddit, user GregoryFlame highlights the new Pokemon that will be featured in Team GO Rocket’s lineups, noting that Arlo has Shadow Beldum, Sierra has Shadow Ralts, and Cliff has Galarian Zigzagoon.

Additionally, several Pokemon such as Caterpie, Mankey, Roggenrola, Venipede, Karrablast, and Shelmet will also be making their Shadow debut in the game.

New lineup features Shadow Beldum and Ralts

Fans are particularly excited about Shadow Beldum and Ralts being featured in the lineup, as they are consistently two of the most popular Pokemon in the game. Shadow Metagross is the strongest Steel-type attacker in the title, so this marks the perfect opportunity for players to add it to their lineup. Likewise, Shadow Gardevoir might not be thestrongest Fairy-type Pokemon, but it’s still an excellent addition to any team. Additionally, many fans are also looking forward to catching a shiny Shadow Ralts for the first time inPokemon GO.

With players hyped up for the arrival of Shadow Beldum and Ralts, it seems like the debut of Shadow Galarian Zigzagoon inPokemon GOhas slipped under the radar. As many noted, Obstagoon, the third evolution of Galarian Zigzagoon, is a powerful Normal and Dark-type Pokemon for the Great League. In fact, the creature can outshine Umbreon if players utilize the right moves. Considering thatfans have been unhappy with the past fewPokemon GOevents, it seems like Niantic is aiming to mend things with an extra exciting lineup in the game’s next event.
