Silent Schemes is the latest instalment in the Team Go Rocket invasion storyline in Pokémon Go which began way back in July 2019 with A Troubling Situation.
There has been a break in this quest series – the last we’ve seen was back in 2021 – but you can expect the familar gauntlet of grunt trainer battles and catching Shadow Pokémon before taking on the leaders and, eventually, Giovanni himself.
You’ll also be rewarded with experience and a range of items for every quest steps you complete.

How Silent Schemes works in Pokémon Go
Silenct Schemes, which appeared in March 2022 at the start of the All-Hands Rocket Retreat event and the debut of Salandit and Salazzle, is the latest in the line of Team Go Rocket quests.
To access this research quest, you must first complete the ‘tutorial’ quest, A Troubling Situation, and complete any previous Team Go Rocket quest you might have already started, such as An Inter-egg-sting Development and The Shadowy Threat Grows.
Don’t worry if you’re far behind in the Team Go Rocket lineup, because, once you’ve completed your current Rocket quest, you’ll automatically jump to Silent Schemes.
Each Team Go Rocket quest is based around defeating the crime organisation grunts and purifying Shadow Pokémon, which can be found at invaded PokéStops around the world.
You’ll also need to battle the Leaders Arlo, Cliff and Sierra and, eventually, Giovanni.
Aside from these specific tasks, Silent schemes works exactly the same as the other research quests, which challenge you to complete a number of objectives in a specific order.
There is no time limit for Silent Schemes – and, after completing it, you’ll automatically start the next Team Go Rocket research quest upon its release.
New is the April Fools Day event, which tasks you with finding Transform Pokémon Ditto disguises!
Elsewhere, the Season of Alola is here! The latest event is Lush Jungle, which has introduced the An Akala Adventure and more Gen 7 Pokémon including Fomantis and Tapu Lele.
Elsewhere, off the back of the Go Tour Johto event is Masterwork Research Apex to complete.
