What you need to know As the Season of Legends kick off, Giovanni is back with the Legendary bird of Kanto. The Forces of Nature will return with their Shiny variants and their Therian formes. There will also be several events throughout March and some great quality of life updates. As Niantic prepares for the Season of Legends, the Pokémon Go events for March 2021 have been announced. As previously announced, Team GO Rocket will be back to cause more trouble beginning on February 28, 2021. There will be new Special Research to track down and challenge Giovanni and his Shadow Legendary Pokémon. Beginning in March, Giovanni will be fighting with Shadow Articuno. In April, he'll have Shadow Zapdos, and in May, Shadow Moltres will be back. These are some of the most powerful Pokémon in the game, so whether you missed out on your first chance or just want a second, you won't want to skip them. Additionally, players will have opportunities at the beginning of every month in the Season of Legends to earn a Super Rocket Radar to challenge Giovanni.
