The Power Plant event is a longer one, which means it is actually going to include a rotation midway through that features different Battle Raid bosses. Week 1 is already underway and features an exciting lineup of challengers (including Genesect at the top tier), but when January 24 rolls around the Pokemon GO Raid Boss list will rotate once again (for Tier 3 and Tier 5).

The Special Research challenge is titled “A Mega Discovery,” and is split up into four stages. Players may be tempted to think that this “discovery” somehow leads to Victini, the next Mythical Pokemon, but that is unfortunately not the case. Completing this set of research tasks will simply equip a player with the tools necessary to Mega Evolve a Beedrill in Pokemon GO.

To note, there are also a number of Bug Out Field Research tasks in PoGO for players to complete, and indeed some of them overlap with the event-exclusive Timed Research. As such, it is recommended that players spin PokeStops while they are working on the Bug Out Catch Challenge in order to maximize their rewards.

Dubbed the Bug Out! event, it is set to last one week and come with a variety of bonuses. Among these, we are expecting to perhaps see a new shiny bug Pokemon join the fore, but because of the increased spawns of the event, Pokemon GO players can be on the lookout for shiny bug Pokemon that are already in the game, namely Caterpie, Pinsir, and Pineco. At the time of writing, any new shiny Pokemon are currently unconfirmed....

Flareon is the Fire-type among the eight evolutions of Eevee. With 206 Attack and access to Overheat, this Raid boss can certainly pack a punch. Thankfully, though, there are plenty of counters to this evolution, some of which are very accessible and most trainers should have. How can trainers beat this Fire-type Pokemon in quick time? Flareon is a pure Fire-type, which means that trainers should be looking for these weaknesses to exploit: Water, Rock and Ground....

To start the challenge against Sierra in Pokemon GO, trainers must first collect 6 Mysterious Components by defeating Rocket Grunts at select PokeStops. She can then appear in floating Rocket Balloons, or at PokeStops.

Lucky Trades are incredibly valuable, because they make the Stardust cost to power up the lucky Pokemon much lower. This allows players to build up a powerful PvP or PvE roster without running out of the game’s most precious resource. Taking advantage of the Lucky Friend feature is pretty straightforward. The most important thing to keep in mind is that players can only become Lucky Friends with someone who they are already Best Friends with (check out this guide to increasing Friendship levels)....

Since Kyogre is a water-type Pokemon, players are best off using electric- and grass-type Pokemon against it. Other types are also viable against Kyogre, but even more important is that Pokemon GO players make sure that each Pokemon they select for their raid party has the best moves possible as well. Here are the best Pokemon to counter Kyogre in Pokemon GO, and the moves players will want them to have when taking them into the raids:...

To note, while the first part of PoGO’s Halloween Event 2022 is set to conclude on October 27, players have until Tuesday, November 1 at 10am local time to claim Mysterious Masks. Players are advised to initiate and work on this Special Research sooner rather than later, though, as its tasks will be much easier to complete while the event is underway. This is primarily due to the fact that Ghost-type Pokemon will be appearing more frequently for Halloween, and those play a big role in Mysterious Masks....

The Pokemon GO New Years 2022 event runs from December 21, 2021, until January 4, 2022. While the Field and Timed Research tasks listed below aren’t difficult, that’s still not a lot of time to complete them. So trainers looking to make the most of the event will want to jump in right away.

There are technically representatives from every current generation of Pokemon in Pokemon GO. This is, of course, due to the addition of the Alolan variants of certain Kanto Pokemon as well as the Galarian variants alongside their Galar evolutions. Meltan and Melmetal are also technically part of Pokemon’s seventh generation despite premiering in Pokemon GO.

On the surface, the remakes seem to be business as usual for casual fans of the franchise, but one thing sticks out as an interesting choice made by the games’ studio: the lack of mega evolutions or other similarly supercharged moments in battle. The omission of those sorts of supercharged moves and abilities from Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl has been a topic of hot debate among fans of the franchise....

RELATED: Pokemon Fans Voice Concerns About Pokemon Legends: Arceus Additionally, no pre-order bonuses for these Pokemon titles have been revealed yet either, so some players may want to hold off on pre-ordering until any bonuses are made apparent. Often times, games will have specific pre-order bonuses that differ between each retailer, so depending on what gets revealed players may want to choose one retailer over another. Of course, it’s also important to mention that these pre-orders are only available for the physical editions of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl....

When it comes to Pokemon GO Battle Raids this week, there’s a ton going on thanks to Pokemon Day. Some popular Gen 1 Raid bosses are back with a special twist, so raiders are going to be out in full force over the next few days to make sure they don’t miss a chance to catch these clone and armored bosses.

Much like the artist’s prior creations, Scorpeon stands out for its clever use of the evolutionary line’s -eon suffix, as well as a fitting design. The Poison-type Pokemon is loosely based off the Manticore from Greek mythology, a creature with the body of a lion and a scorpion’s tail. It evolves by leveling up Eevee while afflicted by the poison status effect, as PTickles said they like the idea of evolutions taking effort “without being too complex or convoluted....

Among those Pokemon with a more foreboding design is Haunter. First introduced in Gen 1, it is a Ghost/Poison-type Pokemon that has been in numerous games over the years. As its name implies, this Pokemon has a spooky appearance. In addition, it has dismembered hands that levitate in front of its body, adding to the spectral design. Recently, one dedicated fan of the Pokemon series decided to make unique artwork in honor of this spooky yet popular Pokemon....

YouTube content creator Below Average Gaming recently shared a video in which he showed off the two classic Game Boy Color Pokemon games working on N64. In the video, Below Average Gaming showed off the colorful N64 cartridge shells used to hold the working copies of both games and how to make them.

Suicune, known as the Aurora Pokemon, is a Legendary Pokemon introduced in the Gen 2 Pokemon games. It resembles a large canine with blur fur, a long mane, a ribbon-like tail, and a distinctive bony crest on its head. Suicune’s iconic silhouette was featured prominently in Pokemon Crystal, the game that Suicune was the mascot of.

Those who have been following the artist on Reddit know that they have already finished Route 1 and Route 2 of their Kanto region LEGO project. Naturally, the next phase of the recreation will be Route 3. Most Pokemon video game players will recall that Route 3 connects Kanto Region’s Pewter City to two different areas, Route 4 and Mt. Moon. Now that the artist has completed Route 3, fans will likely expect them to share updates on their LEGO recreation of Route 4 or Mt....
