Pokémon Go now lets you fight Team Rocket hot air balloons

Hot air balloons carrying the villainous Team Rocket have appeared in Pokémon Go.

The first of these floating vehicles appeared in the game last night, following a week of teases suggesting Team Rocket was up to no good once again.

Balloons offer a new way to battle Team Rocket members remotely, rather than visiting a hacked PokéStop.

If you have a Rocket Radar equipped you’ll be able to battle the group’s tough Team Leaders. Or, if you have a Super Radar equipped, you’ll be able to battle the group’s big boss Giovanni (and without the worry of finding one of his numerous decoys).
