>Greetings, Trainers! You may have noticed that we've added some new lines of code to Pokémon GO suggesting that we will be introducing "shadow raids" to the game in an upcoming update. Unfortunately, this was intended to be an April Fool's joke that we pushed a bit too early. We would like to clarify that there will be no "shadow raids" either in relation to our commitment to real-world play or in general. While there will be some sort of "shadow raid" feature added during April 1st that may or may not meet your expectations, we encourage you to continue to enjoy the increased stardust granted from Team GO Rocket grunt and Team GO Rocket leader battles in the meantime!
