All increased spawns, raids, and encounters for Pokémon Go Greedy Gluttons and Team Go Rocket Takeover

You can't take it easy with these gluttons around.

Players are going to have to deal with two very different types of greed over the next two weeks, with Pokémon Go introducing the Junkivore Pokémon Guzzlord and launching a Team Go Rocket Takeover during the same timeframe.

Emerging from Ultra Space with a hunger that is hard to satiate, players will be able to encounter Guzzlord for the first time during the Greedy Gluttons event, which runs from Nov. 9 to 17.

This will feature other Pokémon known for being greedy or gluttonous in various ways too, such as the first appearance of Shiny Munchlax in 7km Eggs. 

Towards the end of the event, Team Go Rocket will enter the fray, with a Takeover weekend set for Nov. 14 to 17 that will see Go Rocket Grunts appearing more frequently at PokéStops and in overworld balloons with an updated roster of Shadow Pokémon.

Rocket Boss Giovanni will also return in an extended Special Research story that once again features Shadow Mewtwo. 

With two distinct events running within each other, even if it is only for a brief time, there will be some differences in which Pokémon are available via specific methods and at which times. Here is a full list of all encounters, raids, Egg hatch pools, and Shadow Pokémon players will see during both events.
