Team GO Rocket is taking to the skies in Pokémon GO! You can now meet Grunts and Leaders in Balloons and defeat them. This new feature is available since July 7th and allow you to fight from your home. You’ll be battling for rewards and a Shadow Pokémon encounter.
You can encounter 4 Team Go Rocket Hot Air Balloons every day, but each possible hot air balloon has its own dedicated period of the day when it could appear.

- Second hot air balloon - 6am to 11:59am
- Third hot air balloon - 12:00pm to 5:59pm
- Fourth hot air balloon - 6pm to 11:59pm
To defeat Leader, you still have to collect Mysterious Components and active a Rocket Radar.
