Who is the leader of Team Instinct in "Pokemon GO"?

The leader of Team Instinct in Pokémon GO is Spark.

Spark is one of the three team leaders introduced in Pokémon GO. Players who choose Team Instinct, represented by the color yellow and the Legendary Pokémon Zapdos, are associated with him. Spark’s approach emphasizes trusting intuition, acting decisively, and learning from Pokémon instincts rather than relying only on analysis.

The other two team leaders are Blanche of Team Mystic and Candela of Team Valor. Blanche is associated with blue and Articuno, while Candela is associated with red and Moltres. These leaders help define the game’s three-team structure, although players primarily encounter them through team-related guidance, research, and battle features.

Spark is sometimes confused with Professor Willow, the researcher who introduces players to the Pokémon GO world. Willow is not the leader of any team. Spark is also distinct from Team GO Rocket’s villains, including Giovanni and the Rocket leaders. The name “Spark” refers specifically to Team Instinct’s leader, not to a Pokémon species or a player character.
