Orthworm debuts in Pokémon GO! Steel-type Pokémon spawn in large numbers in the wild, and the Mystery Box features Shiny Meltan. From 4/30 to 5/4, a Team GO Rocket Takeover runs simultaneously — take on Giovanni for Incarnate Shadow Landorus, and clear Frustration from your Shadow Pokémon during the Takeover.

LAMY's comment
- −Daily Mystery Box opens — your shot at Shiny Meltan!
- −Pre-evolve a Steel-type Mega ahead of time — boosts wild, research, and raid encounters alike.
- −Once the Takeover starts on 4/30, claim the Super Raid Pass via the GO Pass, not Special Research. New Shadow worth getting hyped for? …Dewpider, I guess…?

Tips
Orthworm is guaranteed from 3-Star Raids — rerun raids aggressively if you're after Shiny Orthworm.
Shiny Meltan only appears in the Mystery Box during this event. If you're low on Meltan candy, activate the Mystery Box as much as possible during this window.
Starting 4/30, you can use a Charged TM to remove Frustration from Shadow Pokémon. Retune the movesets on Shadow Pokémon you've been saving up.
Incarnate Shadow Landorus is the strongest Ground-type attacker. If you've been saving a Super Rocket Radar, now is the time to use it.
Shiny Varoom debuts from 12 km Eggs. Challenge Team GO Rocket leaders aggressively to secure 12 km Eggs.
