An update to Pokémon Go adds hot air balloons: Team Go Rocket will come to you now, if you can’t reach a PokéStop.
Pokémon Go developer Niantic has been teasing a new addition to the mobile Pokémon game in July, which manifested Tuesday in the form of a hot air balloon invasion from the game’s bad guys: Team Go Rocket.
For Pokémon Go players stuck at home during quarantine and rural players who may not be able to get to a PokéStop regularly, it’s a nice perk inline with recent additions like free daily rewards, Remote Raid Passes, a daily guaranteed spawn nearby, and a reduced reliance on going outside to play the game.
