Ghost/Dragon is a very powerful combo and Giratina should actually be a great Pokemon in the current metagame, which makes this boss’ arrival even more exciting. When Pokemon GO players are ready to head into battle against the creature, this is the team we recommend assembling: Strongest Rayquaza - Dragon Tail and Outrage Strong Dragonite - Dragon Tail and Outrage Salamence - Dragon Tail and Draco Meteor Latios - Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw...
Special Field Research tasks can be picked up by spinning Pokestops between September 21 and September 28. Players must have a free slot available to obtain the task, and the same task can’t be picked up from the same Pokestop more than once a day.

To note, while GO Battle Weekend will conclude on Sunday, July 10 at 11:59pm local time, this Special Research will be available until the end of PoGO’s Season of GO on September 1.

As such, it is recommended that players carve out some time during the weekend to work on the Field Notes: Team GO Rocket Special Research if they are able to do so....
Before getting into that list, though, it is worth mentioning that some players have reported that they are still receiving a task from the PoGO Halloween Mischief Part 1 Field Research. Specifically, it is the task that sends fans to catch 15 Ghost-type Pokemon, and the reward is an encounter with Halloween Mischief Drifblim. That said, it has not been possible to confirm the availability of this task definitively, and it must be exceedingly rare if it is actually in-game currently....
Chill Drive Genesect is taking over the Tier 5 Legendary Battle Raid spot during the bug-type themed event and Mega Scizor will be appearing, as well. The Mega raid boss offers an exciting chance to stock up on some valuable resources, so Pokemon GO trainers will likely want to prepare an appropriate counter roster before heading out into that fight.

To note, while the Team GO Rocket Takeover is set to conclude on Sunday, February 5, players have until the end of Pokemon GO’s Season of Mythical Wishes to initiate the Shadowy Skirmishes Special Research. For the uninitiated, Mythical Wishes will end on Wednesday, March 1, giving fans approximately one month to start this new Special Research story.

Hardcore fans of the mobile AR game know the ins and outs of every part of the game at this point. After the big update had been out for a few days, those players (and the PoGO Reddit community) started noticing a troublesome absence from the usual seven day spin bonus rewards graphic. For those unaware, players receive a special bonus if they spin at least one Pokestop for seven days in a row....
RELATED: Pokemon GO: The Best Gym Defenders Shadow Pokemon are among the strongest Pokemon in Pokemon GO (aside from Mega Pokemon) and are quite valuable for battles, especially Raids. But with so many Shadow Pokemon available to choose from in Pokemon GO, players may find it challenging to pick the ones that will help them beat Pokemon Raids easily. Updated December 13, 2022, by Daniel Dilena: Even though Shadow Pokemon remain limited to the Pokemon GO universe, they still prove to be effective in the competitive and Raid scene....
Pokemon GO is growing at a faster rate with more players more easily climbing up the levels. Although the tasks for levels 40 to 50 are very difficult, more and more strategies surrounding how to tackle them are appearing, as well as more players completing them.

Those who’ve played Pokemon Platinum could get Eevee as early as Hearthome City. In Diamond and Pearl, trainers needed the National Dex before they could add Eevee to their team. Unfortunately for some, this very method returns in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Meaning, Eevee will not be available until a good portion of BDSP’s main story is over. Updated February 9th, 2022 by Renri Seong: Eevee and its evolutions are some of the most beloved Pokemon in the Pokemon series....
One of the more comforting aspects about Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is that it will be treading familiar ground with its story and characters. While Pokemon Sword and Shield’s story leaves a lot to be desired, the formulaic evil team that appears is no better of a foe than any previous incarnation by a large margin. This makes the antagonist and ultimate villain have very little payoff in the grand story....
The ninth generation of Pokemon was first revealed in February of this year and will debut in November 2022. Alongside the Fire-type starter Fuecoco, fans have also seen Sprigatito, the Grass-type, as well as Quaxly, the Water-type. At the moment, their evolutions remain unclear as well as what their shiny versions.

Reddit user Healingmii recently shared a compiled image of various Pokemon sprites they created inspired by the Pokemon Gold and Silver design. Healingmii’s fan art includes seven popular Pokemon from Ruby and Sapphire covering a variety of typing and unhindered by the often replicated Hoenn starter Pokemon. Because Pokemon Gold and Silver were the original forays into improving Pokemon sprites with a broader color pallet, Healingmii’s Gen 2 sprites are fittingly less blended and brighter in tone....
Shiny Pokemon don’t feel quite as rare in Pokemon GO as they do in mainline Pokemon games, but that hasn’t made them any less popular. Collecting shiny spawns is one of the most popular activities in the mobile AR game and those chases help drive up event participation each month. GO Tour Johto is a particularly special event and ticket holders who are trying to complete their shiny dex are going to have a lot of motivation to spend the full weekend in the game....
Fighting in Raids is similar to the Max Lairs from Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield. Mega Raids allow trainers to capture Event-Exclusives, such as legendaries. With Mega Raids, trainers face off against Mega-Evolved Pokemon. These Pokemon have higher CP and are generally much more powerful. Meaning if trainers want Mega Energy for their own Pokemon, they’re going to be in for a fight. Here’s some advice and information on Mega Raids....
Although tier 5 Battle Raids are focused on Thundurus for at least the first few weeks of March, every weekend is going to offer an exciting opportunity to catch a different Legendary creature with the chance for a shiny. This month of Legendary Raids in Pokemon GO lines up perfectly with the start of warmer weather in many areas and should make for a busy month of raiding.

Luckily, a few dedicated Pokemon GO players have compiled all of the possible encounter rewards into an easy to read infographic....

There’s a lot going on in Pokemon GO at the moment, with week 2 of the Ultra Bonus event in full swing. The Legendary Pokemon Deoxys was once an EX exclusive, but is currently available through level 5 Raids. The difference is that now players won’t need an invite to participate. Also during this time, players are encouraged to hatch as many eggs as possible since Niantic is cutting the required egg distance to hatch in half....
The Litleo line has a unique typing. As a Normal/Fire Dual Type, they’re immune to Ghost Type attacks but gain a weakness to Fighting Type that single Fire Type Pokemon do not have. In Pokemon GO, Litleo’s IVs are higher in Attack and Stamina with a max CP of 1611. With Pyroar, its max CP is 3129 and it eventually gains access to the 11.96 DPS move, Overheat.
