To succeed in a Pokemon GO Battle Raid, especially a more difficult one like Legendary and Mega battles, trainers need to be familiar with the boss’ weaknesses and potential counters. When it comes to a boss like Mega Aggron, that means carefully planning a roster of counter Pokemon that take advantage of its weakness to Fire-, Fighting-, and Ground-type move sets.

Hawaii house bill 2686 has not yet passed, but if it does, it could have some serious impact on gamers, including Pokemon GO players. The consumer protection bill aims to look out for younger gamers by making it unlawful for retailers to sell a game to anyone under 21 if the title contains a purchasable item which allows for direct or indirect randomized reward… Sound like Raid Passes and Incubators to anyone else?...
Although Tier 3 Pokemon GO bosses are possible to solo, that is only the case if players understand the boss’ weaknesses and assemble a strategic counter roster. Each Pokemon has its own strengths and weaknesses and part of preparing for an effective Battle Raid means studying those weaknesses and forming a respectable counter roster. The lower tier Battle Raids can often be solo’d and offer an easier path to completing raid-relates Field Tasks in addition to providing some powerful item and encounter rewards....

According to Serebii, the boxes confirm that both games will have DSi-exclusive features — similar to the original Pokemon Black and White games. It’s then easy to assume that the video chat feature will return, but that’s just our speculation at this point. If you remember, players could video chat with one others using WiFi, and up to four people with the game could video chat for local play. Why anyone would video chat with someone they’re sitting next to we never really understood, it’s a feature that’s there…...
However, players need to remember that not all Hidden Abilities are better than a Pokemon’s regular Abilities. For example, Primarina (not available in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl) has the Hidden Ability “Liquid Voice,” which changes the typing of any sound-based moves into Water-type. This means Primarina’s Fairy-type move, Disarming Voice, is no longer super effective against Dragon, Dark, or Fighting-type because “Liquid Voice” has now changed that move’s typing into a Water-type move....
RELATED: Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl: The Best Fire-Type Pokemon (& Where To Catch Them) Given the somewhat lackluster lineup of fire-types native to the Sinnoh region, Heatran provides a solid option for those who chose Turtwig or Piplup as their starter Pokemon. Of course, with players now able to get their hands on the likes of Charizard and Typhlosion via Briliant Diamond & Shining Pearl’s Grand Underground area, this is nowhere near as useful as it once was in the original releases....

Reddit user Oliblue55 recently shared a clip from their YouTube livestream showing their chain hunting, which they admitted went wrong. The clip begins with a simple battle start animation as Oliblue55 encountered a wild Hoothoot. Showing off a Shiny Pokemon that he had already captured earlier in the game, Oliblue55 chose his yellow Luxray to face the wild Hoothoot. Just as soon as the Pokemon battle began, Oliblue55 threw a ball at the wild Hoothoot in order to capture it, but it was the only Master Ball available through Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl’s main story....
Pokemon cards are of varying rarity, with some simply being uncommon but theoretically acquirable, like those who have been lucky enough to find holo Charizards while opening Pokemon TCG packs have experienced. However, others are so rare that only a few were ever produced, and the Pokemon Illustrator card is one of them.

The five new Pokemon receiving plush toys will be Gossifleur, Eldegoss, Corviknight, Drednaw, and perhaps the most-wanted Pokemon of Pokemon Sword and Shield, Wooloo. Yes, everyone’s favorite sheep Pokemon is getting an official plush from The Pokemon Company, though it’s unclear whether it will be able to properly Rollout.

Beedrill and Magnemite were both originally introduced in Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue in the mid-1990s. While not the most popular of Pokemon, both have become mainstays in the franchise, having appeared in nearly every installment of the series. Magnemite made its latest appearance in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and can be a bit tricky to catch and evolve. However, it appears that some fans want to see both Magnemite and Beedrill evolve in an unexpected direction....
Pokemon has been inspiring artists ever since the first game was released in 1996. However, Bug-type Pokemon are not the most popular pocket monsters, with artists favoring artwork depicting Eevee and their evolutions or even creating an engagement ring featuring male and female Pikachu. While they are not often at the center of attention, Bug-type monsters remain well-known by players who regularly come across these creatures in the forests of Pokemon games....
One of the more popular types of artwork based on the franchise are drawings of Pokemon, which have been used to capture many different pocket monsters in various forms.

One of the most iconic aspects of the franchise is the tool that helps Pokemon Trainers all over the world, the Pokedex. It’s a database that provides players with information on their favorite creatures and how they act in the Pokemon world. It also gives other basic information such as the Pokemon’s height, weight, cry, location, and other facts. One fan decided to make an extensive real-world equivalent, which can be used by Android users....
Speaking of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, they feature an interesting Pokemon that was added to the games back in Generation 2, Girafarig. Girafarig has an intriguing design, with its body seemingly split into a normal giraffe-like Pokemon and a dark side with an animated tail. The Pokemon was introduced as a Normal/Psychic-Type that doesn’t evolve from or into any other creature in the series.

A screenshot of Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl has been making the rounds online, showing a painting hanging on the wall in one of the games’ buildings. Speculation points to the painting being representative of Van Goh’s “Starry Night Over The Rhone” or Venice, Italy. If it’s the former, it seems unlikely to be a hint since we’ve already had a Pokemon region based in France (Starry Night Over The Rhone depicts Arles, France), but if it’s the latter, it could be a hint that the Gen 9 Pokemon region will be based on Italy....
