From The Shadows, released during the Let’s Go event in March 2023, is the latest instalment in the long-running Team Go Rocket invasion storyline in Pokémon Go.
Like the other Team Go Rocket special research quests in Pokémon Go, the From The Shadows quest steps focus on grunt battles, catching Shadow Pokémon, defeating the Team Go Rocket Leaders and, finally, battling Giovanni himself.
Along the way you’ll earn a host of rewards, including experience, and may even catch a new Shadow Pokémon.

Below you’ll find all of the quest steps for the From The Shadows special research quest in Pokémon Go.
Remember – to access this quest you must have completed your previous Team Go Rocket research quest, which began with A Troubling Situation back in the year of 2019. Unlike past Team Go Rocket quest, From The Shadows is stackable which means you can access it if you haven’t completed Shadowy Skirmishes yet.

From The Shadows, which was released in March 2023 during the Let’s Go event, is the latest in the line of Team Go Rocket quests in Pokémon Go.
To access this research quest, you must first complete the ‘tutorial’ quest, A Troubling Situation. Since From The Shadows is stackable, unlike past Team Go Rocket quest, you can access it without having to complete your previous Team Rocket quest, such as Shadowy Skirmishes, first.
Each Team Go Rocket quest is based around defeating the crime organisation grunts and purifying Shadow Pokémon, which can be found at invaded PokéStops around the world.
You’ll also need to battle the Leaders Arlo, Cliff and Sierra and, eventually, Giovanni.
It’s also important to remember that the highlighted Shadow Legendary released alongside this quest’s debut – Shadow Regice in From The Shadows’s case – is technically not part of the quest itself, but, rather is simply an extra reward for battling Giovanni. Due to this, you can catch the current Shadow Legendary at least twice if you haven’t finished the previous Team Go Rocket quest yet.
Aside from this, the Team Go Rocket quests work exactly the same as the other research quests, which challenge you to complete a number of objectives in a specific order.
Since the Team Go Rocket quests don’t expire, you’ll have a good amount of time to complete From The Shadows. We do recommend ensuring you complete it though, because you won’t be able to access the new quest in the series – which are usually released every three months – until you do.
The Season of Rising Heroes is here! The Let’s Go event is currently running and it has brought the Let’s GO! quest with it, along with a new list of Ditto disguises.
As you continue your Pokémon Go adventure, make sure to battle Giovanni, the Team Go Rocket Leaders or in the new Go Battle League season. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for Kecleon or, if you purchased it, work on the Masterwork Research: Wish Granted quest.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres. This incense may also give you encounters with other rare Pokémon in Pokémon Go.
