After battles outside the GO Battle League in Pokemon GO, players can find their Pokemon either damaged or fainted. In the case of fainting, the only things that can wake them up are either Revives or Max Revives. RELATED: Pokemon GO: Best Machamp Moveset Despite both items being able to wake up fainted Pokemon, there is a key difference between Revives and Max Revives other than their appearances. If players use a Revive on their Pokemon, they will wake up, but only half of its health will be restored in the process....

Among the Pokemon getting increased spawn rates for this event are the Sinnoh starter Pokemon.

Updated March 10th, 2022 by Russ Boswell: Many players are still making their way through Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, or are starting new playthroughs or challenge runs in order to increase the title’s replayability.

Those that are looking to catch Drifloon in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl can use the following guide to snag one....

Kingdra’s typing is similar to Shining Pearl’s mascot, Palkia. Instead of being Dragon/Water, it’s Water/Dragon-type, making Water its “priority” type with Dragon as its “secondary” type. Despite this, it can be a frustrating Pokemon to defeat and a rude awakening for unprepared trainers. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, gamers can get their own Kingdra by evolving Horsea.

Starting from the simultaneously incompetent and violent, mafia-like Team Rocket, the evil teams became gimmickier and developed more ambitious plans as time went on. Sinnoh’s own antagonistic posse, Team Galactic, has a lot going for it. In some ways, the team’s members stand out as a strong collective of antagonists. They combine the best of what their predecessors and successors have to offer, and provide a unique experience for characters in mainline Pokemon games....

The inclusion of affection rates has been controversial, with many fans deriding its addition to the Pokemon remakes while others praise it as a way to help overcome notoriously difficult trainer battles spread throughout the games. This has led to some players calling for ILCA to release a patch that adds the option to opt out. However, many players who aren’t as familiar with the series may not know what affection rates do in the game, how to raise them, or why some are unhappy about its inclusion....

Pokemon Legends: Arceus shows how ancient Pokemon may have evolved differently than contemporary Pokemon, thanks to the changes of the Era. Voltorb being a Grass-type and Scyther’s evolution of Kleavor all show how convoluted evolution could be, while theories that all the Pikachu clones can trace their ancestry back to an original, perhaps legendary Electric Mouse Pokemon were supported by in-game dialogue.

While Nintendo and Game Freak have introduced countless new creatures, and even new Pokemon types, to the franchise since it debuted in 1996 with Pocket Monsters: Red and Green, the iconic Gen 1 Pokemon still hold a special place in the hearts of many fans.

For those unaware, a ‘shiny’ Pokemon is a monster that has a different color pattern than a particular beast would traditionally have. Players likely first encountered these shiny types in Pokemon Gold and Silver (where the feature made its original debut) in the form of a red Gyrados. While that Poke was particularly easy to capture, the chances in current games of seeing one in the wild are 1 in 4,096 – with older games being even more challenging to lure one out of hiding at about 1 in 8,192 odds....

Players pursuing the Poni Island Path in the Alola to Alola Research this month will need to defeat a Team GO Rocket leader, and who better to face than the big boss himself, Giovanni.

In Pokemon GO, Zorua was intended to be a surprise encounter. Thanks to a bug during the Shuppet Spotlight Hour (October 2022), Zorua snuck its way onto the roster a bit earlier than intended.
