We review the purification method of all dark Pokémon, where they come from and which ones are currently available for capture.
The arrival of the dark Pokémon was one of the great novelties and joys playable for the Pokémon GO community in 2019. The title of Niantic, which lives its best moment and faces in February its tightest month we remember in these four years , has received precisely in February a new wave of dark Pokémon. Not surprisingly, in this article we are going to review all the Pokémon of this type, infected by Team GO Rocket, wave by wave.
Find Team GO Rocket
For those who have doubts about how to catch and purify Dark Pokémon, in this article we explain how to do it in detail. In turn, we review how to find and fight Team Go Rocket. Once the fight starts there is a trick to know which team will have the Team GO Rocket before fighting, so we explain that trick below.

Pokémon GO – All Dark Pokémon
When we face a dark Pokémon we only have 5 Honor Ball to capture them. If we are lucky, to purify them we will have to invest several Candies of the budding species along with a cost of about 3,000 Dust (or more). In addition, a characteristic of the dark Pokémon is that once they are purified they learn Return and raise their IV in 2 (calculator of IVs here). Finally, purified Pokémon increase their level limit to 25 and the cost of candy to boost or evolve them is reduced by 10%.
