In-game antagonist faction. Grunts at PokéStops, Leaders (Cliff, Sierra, Arlo), and the boss Giovanni.
Team GO Rocket grunts take over PokéStops (visible as dark/purple stops). Defeat them to earn a Shadow encounter. Leaders Cliff, Sierra, and Arlo require Rocket Radars to track, and drop higher-tier shadows.
Giovanni — the top boss — drops a guaranteed Shadow Legendary each month. Defeating him requires a Super Rocket Radar from a Special Research questline.
Rocket teams follow a predictable formula: lineup is announced via grunt phrase (e.g. "Wherever there is light, there is also shadow!" = Ghost-type). Hundo Hunter's Rocket page decodes every phrase + recommends the counter.
