What is the Power Plant event in Pokémon Go?

The Power Plant event is the latest event in the Season of Heritage storyline for Pokémon Go. Spark, the leader of Team Instinct has determined that the final lock on the Mysterious Door will require Electric type Pokémon to unlock. He is calling on trainers to catch and battle Pokémon from the Power Plants of Kanto and Kalos, including a Pokémon Go newcomer: Helioptile!

However, Spark isn't the only one trying to get through that door. After months of near silence, it would seem Team GO Rocket is invading once again!
