February is moving along, which means Pokemon GO players should be racing towards their next encounter with the evil Team GO Rocket leader and a new shadow legendary encounter. Trainers can currently work through their A Professor’s Work is Never Done special research and start earning rewards.

Pokemon GO players should have access to A Professor’s Work is Never Done, as long as they've finished A Troubling Situation and any other Team Rocket intro quests. Trainers can start battling grunts and completing other tasks on their way towards the monthly repeatable battle with Giovanni.
