What Are Yellow PokeStops in Pokemon GO?
Last updated
Ever wondered what those yellow PokeStops you sometimes stumble upon in Pokemon GO are? Let’s dive into what makes these spots shine brighter than the rest!
So, you’re out and about, catching Pokemon, and boom! A yellow PokeStop appears. What’s up with that? We’re here to tell you all about it.
Yellow PokeStops Explained
Yellow PokeStops are not your average spots to grab goodies in Pokemon GO. These are actually Team GO Rocket PokeStops. Think of them as mini-bases for the bad guys of the Pokemon world. They’re temporarily taken over by Team GO Rocket, and they offer unique challenges and rewards.
When you spin a yellow PokeStop, you’ll encounter Team GO Rocket Grunts. Battle them with your Pokemon, and if you win, you’ll get a chance to rescue a Shadow Pokemon. Shadow Pokemon are special because you can purify them, making them stronger and changing their appearance.
