in Pokemon GO A new event is coming up where Team GO Rocket will make some changes – including Giovanni. This displaces the best striker in the game at the moment.
What is this event? There will be a new Rocket acquisition in Pokémon GO of the high voltage event.
However, Rocket’s takeover does not start at the same time as the event, but only in the middle: it starts on February 1, 2023.
Here some important things will come into play. For example, during the event you can get rid of the frustration of an attack, to upgrade your crypto attackers. I will too Team GO Rocket new Shadow Pokémon sent into battle against you.
The same goes for Giovanni. But it also means: If you still want to have your Crypto-Mewtwo, you need to hurry.

Crypto Mewtwo will be available in Pokémon GO in just a few days
Why is Crypto Mewtwo important? The crypto variant of the powerful Psychic Pokémon is the strongest attacker in Pokémon GO on paper. Crypto Mewtwo not only has extremely strong stats, but also access to multiple attacks of different types, making him very versatile.
But there’s only one way to get Crypto-Mewtwo: by fighting Giovanni. However, Rocket Boss Pokemon change from time to time.
So it is with Rocket’s new acquisition. As Shadow Registeel will become the new boss Pokémon, replacing Shadow Mewtwo.
Registeel is a strong monster in PvP league, it doesn’t matter much in raids. Trainers are currently debating that the Crypto status for Registeel in Battle League may even be a drawback due to the reduced defense (via reddit).
So if you still want to get your hands on Crypto Mewtu, you need to do it fast – because the deadline is February 1st. However, this is not so easy.
How do you get Crypto Mewtwo now? In theory, you just have to beat the Rocket Boss Defeat Giovanni, you can find the correct counters here. Then you need to go in search of the boss.
However, certain prerequisites are required to be able to meet the boss at all.
- Or you still have the Super Rocket Radar in the item bag that you can use to track him.
- Or you still have a special research left that gives Super Rocket Radar as a reward.
However, if you’ve already completed all of Rocket’s relevant special research and no longer have the Super Rocket Radar in your item bag, there’s no way to find Giovanni in time anymore.
The next radar survey should come on February 1st.
But if you still meet one of the requirements, then you have just under a week to secure your Crypto Mewtwo.
Otherwise, the Hoenn Tour is getting closer and closer. All information about A world tour of Hoenn in Pokémon GO can be found here.
