One of the best changes was to revamp the Underground system in a way that allows players to catch lots of rare Pokemon, increasing the variety the more badges and HMs players unlock. Still, one of the most popular Pokemon in both Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and the respective original titles has always been Garchomp, which many players end up using in their playthrough regardless of the other available Pokemon....

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl were flawed in many ways, with issues like sluggishness in movement and battles, as well as a severe lack of Fire-type Pokemon in the Sinnoh region prior to beating the game. Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are quite faithful remakes of Generation 4 games, but they still bring a fair share of innovation and improvements to beloved features the originals had, like the Grand Underground and the Poketch....

These fans won’t be able to visit their favorite retail locations anytime soon, as The Pokemon Company doesn’t have a date in mind for when the Pokemon Centers will open again. A total of 14 Pokemon Center locations across Japan, as well as seven smaller Pokemon Stores, will be closed....

The final evolution for popular starter Chikorita, Meganium evolves from Bayleef beginning at level 32.

Thankfully, not every kid has to go through this problem. On the contrary; some parents are extremely supportive of their kids’ favorites, and in this case, two parents went above and beyond to craft a tastefully themed room for the Pokemon fan in their lives.

Latios and Latias initially appeared in Pokemon GO raids a few years ago, but now they’re back and in Mega form. Obviously the fight is going to be even tougher now that the Pokemon are in their Mega forms, but there are also a lot of new Pokemon, evolutions, and move sets available to assemble a powerful counter roster. For players who still have an older, non-mega counter roster saved for Latios and Latias, now would be an ideal time to do some updating before the fight....

The weekend of January 22 will mark the first ever Community Day Classic in the mobile AR game and bring the spotlight back to the Gen 1 starter Bulbasaur. This special Pokemon GO event is a lot like a regular Community Day and offers players a second opportunity to rack up a ton of Bulbasaur Candy and shiny spawn encounters. For players who are willing to spend some real world dollars, there is also a Special Research available....

November 2021’s calendar of events is available now, so trainers can review all of the confirmed Legendary and Mega Raid bosses that are coming to the mobile AR game throughout the coming month. Some players may be disappointed that there aren’t any brand new Legendary or Mega debuts for Pokemon GO players to get excited about, but that doesn’t mean these Battle Raids aren’t going to be popular.

First off, Pokemon GO trainers will find some event tasks that involve battling grunts, earning hearts, and a number of other activities. This short list of tasks offers some powerful encounter rewards and a chance at some shiny spawns, so it is well worth the time it will take to achieve. Once those objectives are out of the way, players will be left with a more familiar list of tasks, but there are still some strong Pokemon available as encounter rewards for anyone who needs some extra motivation to early those daily stamps and inch closer to a Research Breakthrough reward....

Before getting into the specifics of the Fashion Week Timed Research tasks, players should know that they must all be completed before Monday, October 3 at 8pm local time. Indeed, it is at that time that the event will come to a close, and fans will lose their chance to earn the rewards that are listed below.

The Gengar/Nidorino theme for the Pokemon GO Raid Day may seem a little strange since neither Pokemon is particularly relevant to the metagame in Pokemon GO, but it’s actually a throwback reference to the opening screen of Pokemon Red, Firered/Leafgreen. It can also be considered a nod to the opening of the original anime series, as well.

Trainers who missed the opportunity to catch Giratina Altered Forme last time around will definitely want to take advantage of the special Legendary Raids now that the Ghost/Dragon-type has secured its spot as one of the best Pokemon in the PoGO metagame. Giratina Altered Forme initially appeared in Pokemon GO raids quite a while ago, but is finally back thanks to the month of Legendary Weekend events. That means that there are a lot of new Pokemon, evolutions, and move sets available now and the strategy for the Raid has changed quite a bit....

Players that make it to the seventh page of the Celebi Special Research quest in Pokemon GO will come upon a quest that asks them to catch 40 psychic- or grass-type Pokemon. Players that made it to that page before the recent Chikorita Community Day event were likely able to complete it without too much trouble, but others may have missed the opportunity. With psychic Pokemon everywhere because of the current event in Pokemon GO, fans should have no trouble completing this objective right now....

Taking on Team GO Rocket’s Cliff in Pokemon GO this month will require players to counter his lineup, which can be difficult as they’re somewhat randomised. Overall, the best picks to take on Cliff this month include Ground, Grass, and Fighting-types. RELATED: Pokemon GO - Best Mega Latias and Mega Latios Counters Cliff’s Lineup Cliff’s starter Pokemon will always be Cubone, but his second and third picks each draw from a pool of three choices:...

In addition to taking down Arlo and Sierra, trainers also need to face off against Cliff during this series of leader battles. Each boss has their own tactics and strategies, so it’s pretty essential for Pokemon GO players to take a bit of time and study this month’s lineup and think about which counters can be used against a handful of the various Pokemon Cliff might toss into the fight....

To that end, the popular mobile title has its own branch of the enemy faction known as Team GO Rocket who appear randomly at PokeStops as well as flying in hot air balloons. While the grunts may not be much of a challenge, creating a Rocket Radar gives players the opportunity to go up against stronger opponents in the form of leaders Cliff, Arlo, and Sierra. For a limited time during specific events, players can also equip a Super Rocket Radar and face off against Giovanni himself....

As to be expected with the boss and head of Team GO Rocket, Giovanni will pull no punches against Pokemon GO players no matter their level. In addition to his strong team, Giovanni will also use a powerful legendary Pokemon in his battle with players being able to rescue it if they succeed in the fight.
