On July 25th, 2019, Team Go Rocket was unleashed, occupying Poké Stops with the goal of draining their resources dry and challenging Trainers to battles with corrupted Shadow Pokémon. On November 2nd, 2019 the Team GO Rocket Leaders (Arlo, Cliff and Sierra) as well as [[Characters/PokemonVillainTeamRocket Giovanni, their boss]], made their way to the game in the form of Rocket Radars and a dedicated mission chain. On June 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, special balloons began appearing in the map, allowing players to fight Rockets, and later on, [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Jessie and James]] made their way into the game.

In March of 2018 a Field Research system was added, which allows players to undertake daily quests for rewards. Quest chains called Special Research are also available, with the first two giving the mythical Pokémon Mew and Celebi respectively as rewards for their completion.

In late May 2018 it was announced that ''VideoGame/PokemonLetsGoPikachuAndLetsGoEevee'', a Platform/NintendoSwitch title that combines the catching elements of ''Pokémon GO'' with the mechanics of the main series ''Pokémon'' titles, would be released November 2018. The game is compatible with ''Pokémon GO'', allowing players to upload Pokémon they've caught in ''GO'' into ''Let's Go!'', although limited to Generation I Pokémon and their Alolan forms, and the eventually revealed Meltan and Melmetal. In May 2019, compatibility with Pokémon HOME, an early 2020 storage cloud service succesor to Pokémon Bank was announced. It would allow ''GO'' players to transfer (one-way only) Pokémon caught in ''GO'' to the service where they can be stored and later brought to the mainline games starting with ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield''. This functionality was enabled in mid-November 2020.
