Fans began to worry yesterday when the Pokemon GO twitter account released a tweet stating that the regionals are still going to be very rare, even though they are currently appearing in 7km eggs. As trainers began hatching eggs, it became clear that this was definitely the case. In an effort to figure out exactly how rare each spawn was, some members of the community began compiling data and crunching the numbers....
Starting later this afternoon, Heatran is returning to 5-star Battle Raids. The popular Gen 4 Fire- and Steel-type is a very strong counter for a lot of important Raid battles, so players will likely be excited about the chance to head out and battle against it once again. Heatran can be weather boosted by Sunny or Snowy weather, so it’s possible that Pokemon GO users can use that late summer Sunny boost to catch an extra strong version of the Legendary....
While Pokemon GO raids are relatively new, the vibrant end-game community that Niantic has cultivated is already expending a lot of energy on breaking down the ins and outs of those battles. With Pokemon GO testing legendary raids as we speak, it has become something of a sticking point for trainers to have all the current tiers figured out as scientifically as possible prior to that release. To that end, we’ve put together a little guide on the most difficult raid bosses currently - those at the Tier 4 level....
One of the later-generation Pokemon that took a few years to be added to Pokemon GO is Sirfetch’d, the unique evolution of Galarian Farfetch’d. The Wild Duck Pokemon is a pure Fighting-type with a knightly motif and some powerful Fighting, Flying, and Bug-type moves, but evolving one isn’t as easy as spending Candy. RELATED: Pokemon GO: Mega Slowbro Raid Guide | Counters and Weaknesses How to Evolve Galarian Farfetch’d into Sirfetch’d The first step to getting is a Sirfetch’d is to catch a Galarian Farfetch’d....
Part of the reason the last update is so huge for Pokemon GO is because it finally introduces a core mechanic from other Pokemon games - Technical Machines, better known to veteran players as TMs. In the classic Pokemon games, TMs teach Pokemon a specific move, giving trainers more control over their creatures and making specific kinds of Pokemon battles much easier with a little planning. In Pokemon GO, TMs function a little differently, but they’re still a vital and useful tool worth embracing for those looking to hone the perfect gym sweeper lineup....
The basic idea of Pokemon GO Community Day is pretty simple: Go out (or possibly stay-in and use incense…) and catch a ton of pokemon for three hours, but this time around things are different. For players who need a little more direction than that, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide full of all the intel you need for the big day. RELATED: Best Pokemon GO Reshiram Counters Be sure to keep in mind that this day would be a fantastic time to earn those Bug- or Poison-type badges if you haven’t already acquired them....
Pokemon GO players who participate in the Lapras Day raids can get five free raid passes, plus they have a chance to find a shiny Lapras, as well as one that knows the exclusive moves Ice Shard and Ice Beam. Unfortunately for Pokemon GO players who play the game solo, it is not possible to defeat Lapras alone, but it is possible to beat Lapras with at least two or more players....
RELATED: Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl: Which Starter Makes The Game Easier? For many players, having a legendary Pokemon on their team is a must. There are lots of legendary Pokemon in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and with so many options, it can be tough to decide which legendaries to go for. Many players have strong opinions on which legendary Pokemon is the best, but the stats don’t lie....
Like the original games, there is only one Eevee in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Furthermore, if players want both Leafeon and Glaceon, they’ll need to breed Eevee (or whoever they choose to evolve Eevee into) at the Pokemon Daycare.

A video shared by a Reddit user in the Pokemon community captures the glitch in action. The player is wandering around Amity Square, specifically going to pick up an item hidden away in a corner of the village. This specific reward is around the corner of a stone house down a single-tile path. After the player picks up the item, a Spooky Plate, they turn, only to find their Pokemon blocking the way back out....
As part of Wednesday’s Pokemon Presents event, Nintendo confirmed a Pokemon distribution opportunity for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl players. The Mythical Pokemon Manaphy will be given out as an egg via the two games’ Mystery Gift System. This distribution event will last from the two games’ launch through February 21, 2022, after which Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Pokemon Shining Pearl players will have to find a different means to acquire the rare Pokemon....
While Pokemon changes its region with every new pair of games released, it is well known that each one takes heavy inspiration from a real nation or landmass in the world, so the idea of smaller islands being used for the Pokemon Sword & Shield expansions is not very far fetched. Part of the fun of each new game is finding the similarities between the real world and the fantastic one created for the games, and knowing what real world location one’s comparing to the game certainly helps....
One of the most important mechanics of every Pokemon game (including Pokemon GO) is evolution and that’s no different in Pokemon Duel. In this mobile game players have two ways to bring evolved Pokemon onto the board to battle with the rest of the squad. The first option is to just assign an evolved version of a Pokemon to the starting lineup. This is possible once players have unlocked the evolution figure, but there are actually some downsides to the straightforward approach....
Pokemon fans might be aware that the two monsters, in particular, that have been featured in various media recently are Bidoof and Arceus. For whatever reason, The Pokemon Company recently declared July 1 to be Bidoof day, celebrating with merch, in-game events, and more. January 2022 also marks the release of the upcoming Pokemon Legends: Arceus game. Now, fans have fused Bidoof and Arceus together for a hilariously terrifying concept....
One type of art that fans love making are custom Pokemon trainers. Gamers not only produce these ideas of custom trainers, but also provide their take on what characters from other properties would look like if they raised Pokemon. One artist has produced a piece of artwork to show what they think a trainer who specializes in Ghost-type Pokemon would look like, as well as their version of a Ghost Eeveelution....
While Pokemon has been popular since its inception, the franchise had its most profitable year ever last year, and this year also happens to mark the franchise’s 25th anniversary. Due to its persistent popularity, new Pokemon are steadily being added to the roster as new games and updates are released. Even since starting their project at the end of last year, PatternsByJazz has already seen the number of total Pokemon increase by 6....
Limited to Pokemon Sword and Shield’s Max Raids and Stadium battles, most of the in-game monsters can take Dynamax forms. This is unlike the limited selection players have seen with Mega Evolutions. When activated, the pocket monsters become supersized and gain up to 100% stat boost. Some Pokemon took this upgrade one step further, changing into a Gigantamax form which alters the monster’s appearance. Players were unable to see the process as Sword and Shield only shows the trainer throwing an enlarged Pokeball into the arena, rather than a full evolution....
Gamers and the ACNH community seem to have really taken island customization to a whole new level. Since the life sim video game was launched in 2020, fans have populated online forums and threads with their own replications of highly-recognizable locations. These recreations are also often inspired by both real-life and in-game areas. With gamers likely intertwining their fandoms in Pokemon and ACNH, there are always reproductions of well-known Pokemon spots and settings such as the Pokemon Center, the Water type-centered Cerulean City Gym, and more....
Redditor miscellaneousmao has experimented in Eevee-themed desserts before, crafting adorable little chocolates and even a small lunchbox cake – to be served in a container modeled after a Poke Ball – but this project may take the cake. All three Gen 1 Eeveelutions and Eevee itself are captured in incredible game-accurate frosting designs. RELATED: Pokemon Fan Makes Adorable Life-Size Papercraft Eevee The result of miscellaneousmao’s work is not one, but four tiny lunchbox cakes served in Poke Ball or Great Ball-patterned containers....
Regional forms were first introduced to the world of Pokemon with the Generation 7 games, Pokemon Sun and Moon, which gave 18 different Pokemon their own unique looks in the gorgeous Alola region. Fans went on to see plenty more new Pokemon given their own regional variants and forms in future titles as well, including Galarian forms in Pokemon Sword and Shield, Hisuian forms in Pokemon Legends: Arceus and, of course, Paldean forms in the latest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games....
