While investigating [[Team GO Rocket]] take-overs, Professor Willow recovered some corrupted files from his computer, uncovering data about Team GO Rocket Leaders {{OBP|Cliff|GO}}, {{OBP|Sierra|GO}}, and [[Arlo]]. He later found out that {{tc|Team GO Rocket Grunt}}s were dropping [[Mysterious Component]]s behind them when defeated at invaded [[PokéStop]]s. With the help of his assistants, the three team leaders, he was able to build an early [[Rocket Radar]] prototype to locate the {{tc|Team GO Rocket Leader}}s and later the [[Super Rocket Radar]] to locate [[Giovanni]] himself.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/willowreport-loomingshadow/ Willow Report: Looming in the Shadows]</ref>
