During this event, players could earn vouchers and Mewtwo Crystals from battles against Team Rocket that could be redeemed in the shop for rewards, including a power boost for Giovanni & Mewtwo that would allow them to Mega Evolve after using their sync move. Obtaining 2,000 vouchers would reward players with a medal. All battles could be challenged an unlimited number of times except Daily Extreme Battle 1, which could only be challenged once per day.
This event featured the Battle Challenge, where players were challenged to defeat a team of strong opponents. Players could complete event missions by clearing these areas with teams using various theme skills, earning medals and other rewards.
All sync pairs with the Kanto theme skill received a bonus to their Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk and Sp. Def stats when used for this event, with the amount of the bonus varying between areas.
The event first ran from September 30 to October 16, 2021. The "Sygna Suit Misty Spotlight Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Sygna Suit Misty & Vaporeon for the duration of the event, and the "Sygna Suit Erika Spotlight Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Sygna Suit Erika & Leafeon beginning on October 1 and lasting until the end of the event.
In this run, players could earn Event Vouchers V from battles. Event missions rewarded players with Gems and Battle Points for completing any of these battles a certain number of times, and the Battle Challenge mission rewards included a Strike and a Tech Move Candy Coin.
Additionally, the music and artwork on the title screen were different than usual. From September 14 to October 16, 2021, the title screen artwork depicted Giovanni, Mega Mewtwo Y, Red, GigantamaxSnorlax, Blue, and Mega Aerodactyl. The background music wasBattle! (Giovanni) (Pokémon Masters EX Version). In addition, the set of Trainers that could be scrolled through on the download screen were changed to feature sync pairs from Kanto for the duration of the event.
Second run
The event reran from February 21 to March 7, 2022. The "Double Feature Spotlight Scout" gave players an increased chance of recruiting Sygna Suit Misty & Vaporeon and Sygna Suit Erika & Leafeon for the duration of the event.
In this run, players could earn Event Vouchers K from battles.
If the player had already received Giovanni & Mewtwo's power boost, exchanging for it in the shop again would reward the player with a 3★ Power-Up.
Third run
The event reran again from March 9 to 27, 2023. In this run, players could earn Event Vouchers A from battles, and the amount of vouchers and Mewtwo Crystals received as completion rewards was increased drastically. In addition, the mission rewards were changed to only award Gems and medals. Everything else was the same as the previous run.

Trivia
Spreading Shadows was the only villain event to feature non-limited sync pairs.
Spreading Shadows and Looming Shadow of Kanto were the only villain events to have a title screen consisting of several distinct parts, rather than a single image. This allowed the title screen to play a simple animation on start-up similar to the standard title screen.
