In order to assist players in defeating, and hopefully capturing, the popular Rainbow Pokemon, fan group PokeWreck has put together an infographic that will help players choose the optimal Pokemon GO team to take on the challenging raid. As a Fire/Flying-Type Pokemon, Ho-Oh has a weakness to Rock, Electric, and Water-Type attacks which trainers should take full advantage of when picking their opening line-ups. As shown in the image above, Ho-Oh’s best counter is Omastar due to its Water/Rock typing and its powerful super-effective attacks....

Eevee is a fairly basic Normal-type Pokemon, but what makes this adorable monster so special is the fact that it can evolve into eight different Pokemon, all of which have different elemental typings. It’s also become a mascot Pokemon for the long-running franchise, even having its own video game right beside Pikachu. One of the Pokemon that Eevee can evolve into is a Water-type Pokemon called Vaporeon. In the mainline Pokemon games, Eevee can only evolve into this creature via a Water stone....

When it comes to squaring off against a Legendary dual-type like Kyurem, players are going to need to stick to a careful strategy to take advantage of every weakness and avoid a super long list of resistances. Kyurem’s particular weaknesses have popped up in the PoGO metagame quite a few times recently, so some players should have at least a few of the optimal counters already equipped with the right move sets and powered up for the fight....

Players who chose Turtwig as their Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl starter may not have a need for the Grass/Poison-type Roselia. Unlike Turtwig and its evolutions, Roselia’s line excels in Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. However, getting Budew or Roselia and then evolving it to Roserade can be quite a process. Of course, it’s worth it in the end. RELATED: Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl: Where to Get Surf...

Snorunt and its evolved form, Glalie, are pure Ice-types that first appeared in Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire. However, it wasn’t until the original Diamond/Pearl that it was given another evolution: Froslass. This Pokemon could only be evolved from a female Snorunt and had the unique Ice/Ghost-typing. RELATED: Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl: How to Beat Candice in the Snowpoint City Gym Finding Snorunt Snorunt was originally unavailable in the wild in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl until after players received the National Dex....

Different NPCs reward different amounts of money upon being defeated. Trainer classes such as Youngsters will give fewer Pokemon Dollars than Ace Trainers. Additionally, there are certain items that can be held by a lead Pokemon to increase the amount of money earned.

If ever players needed a little extra motivation to stick around though, the prospect of catching Mewtwo should more than suffice for most....

Updated on February 17, 2022 by Renri Seong: It’s very easy for a Pokemon’s moves to be overwritten and forgotten through a mis-click. While getting Pokemon to remember Moves has grown easier over time, the original Pokemon games weren’t so simple. As loyal remakes to Diamond and Pearl, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl returns to its roots by making players work a bit more if they want their Pokemon to remember a specific Move....

Those who may want more than one Pokemon of a certain species should use the Nursery. Some Pokemon in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl are extremely rare and tedious to catch. So, it’s easier to catch the Pokemon and breed it with another Pokemon of the same Egg Group, or a Ditto.

Even some issues are similar, considering that some Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are encountering invisible NPCs, like Riley, who happened to rarely be invisible in the original games as well. Other examples include the elusive Feebas and how it can be caught, and the fact that players can once again try and catch Pokemon from Honey Trees, both of which are directly taken from the original Pokemon Diamond and Pearl....

I’m 30 years old, which means I no longer pay attention to Pokemon. But I have no shame in admitting that I was addicted to the GameBoy game during my middle school years some 17 years ago.

Now, granted, I never once sprinted to the top of a mountain to training for the “Elite Four,” or rallied with a group of teammates in advance of the final battle with the Team Rocket boss, but I certainly spent hours sitting in my bed, dominating Geodudes like they were a No....

Pokemon fans are looking for answers about Nintendo’s plan with Diamond and Pearl, especially following the slew of insider confirmation and rumors that have surfaced over the past several months. Though Nintendo has warned that 2021 might be on the lighter side due to the Covid-19 pandemic, 4th-generation Pokemon remakes are almost certainly on the way. Keep in mind, Nintendo didn’t announce Super Mario 3D All-Stars for the franchise’s 35th anniversary until September 2020....

Anyone who has played Pokemon HeartGold or SoulSilver, or the original Gold and Silver games, will remember choosing between three adorable starter Pokemon in Professor Elm’s lab. These include the mouse-like Cyndaquil, crocodile-like Totodile, and often-maligned plant-like quadruped Chikorita. Shortly after the player chooses one of the three Pokemon, their rival steals the remaining starter with a type advantage against the player’s, providing a challenge for the player to overcome throughout the game....

The Looming in the Shadows Special Research in Pokemon GO culminates with players fighting Giovanni and catching a Shadow Articuno. However, A Challenging Development will let players catch a Shadow Zapdos after they’ve managed to defeat Giovanni. After capturing Shadow Zapdos, Pokemon GO players need to purify it using Stardust. Dataminers have found evidence that Shadow Moltres data has been added to the game as well, so it seems a third Team Rocket-themed Special Research will be on the way sooner rather than later....
