Similar to the Special Research quest lines for Mew, Celebi and Jump-Start Research, A Troubling Situation is a series of story-driven Special Research tasks. Like how Jump-Start Research was created to introduce new players to the various features of Pokémon Go, the purpose of A Troubling Situation is to introduce you to the Team Go Rocket Invasion. Each step covers an important part of this new feature in Pokémon Go, such as purifying Shadow Pokémon.

Remember to stock up on Potions and Revives before tackling a Team Go Rocket Grunt. Shadow Pokémon are very strong compared to normal Pokémon - you don't want to be knocked out of a battle. You can tackle Team Go Rocket Grunts as both a solo player or as part of a team, so, if you're stuck on a particular Grunt, find some other Trainers to help you.
