Shadow Zekrom Debuts as Harvest Festival Takes Over Pokémon GO

Pokémon GO's Harvest Festival: Taken Over runs Oct 2–5, 2026, introducing Shadow Zekrom through the GO Pass/Giovanni pursuit, plus the debut of Shiny Shroodle and updated Shadow Pokémon lines (including Wimpod, Sandygast, and Fomantis). Team GO Rocket spawns increase at PokéStops and balloons with more Shiny Slugma encounters; GO Pass Harvest Festival and its Deluxe version unlock rewards such as the Super Rocket Radar, Apples, Mossy Lure Modules, and more. Field Research tasks provide Fast/Charged TMs and Mysterious Components, and 12 km eggs bring Shroodle into the mix.
