Pokemon Go guide "A professor's work is never finished"

  • Make sure you are at least a level 8 Pokemon Trainer
  • Search for Team GO Rocket Grunts and defeat them to collect "Mystery Components"
  • Collect 6 mysterious components and combine them to create a "missile radar"
    • If you have previously made a Rocket Radar, you will be able to purchase one from the in-game store using PokeCoins
  • Equip the rocket radar from your bag
  • Tap the rocket radar button below the compass in the map view to locate "leader hiding places"
  • Leader hideouts look like normal PokeStops until you get close enough to see a Team GO Rocket Leader standing next to them
  • Tap the leader to launch a Pokemon battle, but be aware that they are challenging opponents
  • After defeating a Leader, the Rocket Radar is consumed and you are left with a couple of options:
    • Collect six Mysterious Components by defeating Team GO Rocket Grunts to create another Rocket Radar
    • Purchase a missile radar from the in-game store using PokeCoins
  • After repeating the process to defeat all the necessary Team GO Rocket Leaders, you should receive a "Super Rocket Radar"
  • Equip the Super Rocket radar from your bag
  • Make your way through Team GO Rocket's hideouts, many of which are decoy, until you find Giovanni's true location
  • Fight and defeat Giovanni to encounter Shadow Raikou
