One of Pokemon Go\u2019s most exciting features just got an update, as the Team Rocket leaders and grunts have all been given a shake-up, and this means a new batch of Pocket Monsters to battle and catch, and even some brand new Shadow Shiny Pokemon waiting to be found (if you\u2019re lucky). However, despite huge changes to Giovanni, Arlo, Sierra, Cliff, and the Team Rocket Grunts, many fans are unhappy with the new changes, calling the new selection of catchable Pokemon \u201cunderwhelming\u201d in a recent Reddit post. Pokemon Go player u\/Entire_Pineapple4732 shared the original post, alongside the comment, \u201cThey\u2019ve gotta be kidding\u2026 Not a single Pseudo legendary?\u201d They\u2019re referring to the new rewards for beating Team Rocket bosses Cliff, Sierra, and Arlo, which are now Machop, Cacnea, and Trapinch. Other Pokemon Go players are sharing their disappointment in the comments, with one person adding, \u201cCacnea is the worst lol Arlo got trolled\u201d. Meanwhile, another user replies, \u201cfinally arlo gets something random again\u201d. Not everyone is down on the new picks, though, with plenty of fans happy for the chance to catch a Shadow Trapinch, and of course, the elusive Shiny Shadow Trapinch is a possibility as well. One person says, \u201cI am pretty excited for the opportunity for shiny Shadow Trapinch\u201d. Finally, another person asks, \u201cWhat gave you the idea that at least one of them must have a pseudo legendary? That\u2019s never been established as a rule. In fact the first shiny shadow trio were Meowth, Sneseal and Scyther.\u201d While it\u2019s clear that beating the Team Rocket leaders is hard work, the increased Shiny odds and fun Pokemon to catch \u2013 even if not as powerful as some \u2013 are still a bonus that the community seems to enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pokemon Go Team Rocket rewards have fans convinced Niantic is \u201ckidding\u201d Niantic\/The Pokemon CompanyA recent shuffle to Pokemon Go\u2019s Team Rocket line-ups and rewards has fans divided, as the new pool of Pocket Monsters is underwhelming to some, with others happy with the changes.
