Battling leadersДЄfter locating a Team GO Rocket Leader's hideout, the Trainer can engage in battle with them, just like with Team GO Rocket Grunts and Giovanni. The Trainer can also find leaders and engage in battle with them by tapping a Rocket Balloon that may spawn above the Trainer in the Map View, but only if a standard Rocket Radar is equipped.ДЇor more information on Rocket Balloons, see: Team GO Rocket в†’ Balloons. However, defeating a leader does not change the location of the PokГ©Stops they occupy, even if you craft another radar. If the Radar interface is opened without any Team GO Rocket Leaders nearby, your Team Leader will prompt you to travel to a different location to find them, or wait until tomorrow as the hideouts change over time. A Radar may reveal multiple locations, but it is consumed after winning a battle against one leader. Without the Rocket Radar equipped, those PokГ©Stops will only function as normal ones.
