The campaign has already begun and runs until March 29, coinciding with the World of Wonders: Taken Over event. During this Pokemon GO event, players can complete a new Special Research to encounter Pokemon like Shadow Groudon and Shadow Mewtwo.
On March 1, a new season began in Pokemon GO called The World of Wonders. This season adds new Pokemon to be captured, brand new Special Research, the return of the GO Battle League, and the introduction of new Shadow Pokemon during Shadow Raids. Shadow Raids are special battles that occur when Team GO Rocket takes over a gym. During the World of Wonders: Taken Over event, the game will add a new Special Research to face Shadow Groudon and also a special weekend to fight Shadow Mewtwo during Shadow Raids.
To have more success in facing these legendary Shadow Pokemon, Pokemon GO has launched a giveaway that could give players free Purified Gems. The giveaway is valid for TikTok participants, so users interested may have to create an account there. If the Pokemon GO TikTok post reaches 150k interactions, the company has promised to distribute codes for Purified Gems to all players by March 29, when the Team GO Rocket Shadow Raids event will be underway.
Purified Gems are rare items in Pokemon GO andextremely useful when a player is facing Shadow Raid Battles. During these unique raid battles, players will face a Shadow Raid Boss, which is much stronger than traditional Pokemon Go Raid Bosses. Players can use a Purified Gem to subdue the Shadow Pokemon Raid Boss when enraged, making the battle much easier. If more players use Purified Gems, the effect will stack.
This Pokemon GO giveaway is appealing for all players participating in the World of Wonders: Taken Over event and aiming to add Shadow Groudon or Shadow Mewtwo to their roster. Purified Gems will make the battle much more manageable, consequently increasing the chances of capturing these legendary Pokemon. Shadow Groudon will be available until the end of the season on June 1, while Shadow Mewtwo will only be available on March 30 and 31, when Pokemon GO's event calendar for March concludes.
