Trainers will first need to make sure they have access to March’s Team Rocket Special Research called The Shadowy Threat Grows. Players can gain access to this Special Research by making sure their most recent set of Team Rocket Special Research is completed. 

The Shadowy Threat Grows will task players with defeating Team Rocket, its leaders, and Giovanni to earn a chance of saving and encountering Shadow Entei. However, players interested in saving this particular creature and adding the legendary character to their team will have to do so by the end of March, as the opportunity to get this character will no longer be available following the end of March.
