As both a legendary Pokemon and a tier five raid boss, Tornadus can be quite the challenge to overcome for Pokemon GO players. Luckily, players can take it down with the help of good counters and other players fighting by their side. RELATED: Pokemon GO: All The Bravest Bird Special Research Tasks and Rewards Like with most other raid bosses, players are recommended to play toward Tornadus’s weaknesses and invite any available friends to help increase the damage output toward the Pokemon....

In preface of providing that list, it is important to note that Pokemon GO players will need an Event Ticket if they hope to take on the Bulbasaur Community Day Classic Special Research. Fans that have participated in Community Days in the past will be quite familiar with this requirement, as it is standard for accessing event-exclusive Special Research stories, and the ticket can be purchased from the in-game Shop for $0....

Pokemon GO raids are currently plagued by a long list bugs that don’t quite make the feature unplayable, but definitely add a level of unnecessary frustration for many users. Niantic has acknowledged many of the bugs and fixes are apparently on the way. Until then, here is every bug players need to watch out for when they team up with other PoGO players and attempt to take down a Battle Raid....

In order to encourage players to make some new friends and start trading creatures, Pokemon GO is offering some big discounts on the Stardust associated with special trades. There is a bit of math associated with the discounts, but luckily the Pokemon GO community has already done all the serious thinking for us. Here’s a look at a simple infographic that breaks down the discounts and bonuses, courtesy of The Silph Road…...

In the gaming industry alone, events are being postponed or canceled altogether left and right; first the Game Developers’ Conference, and now E3 along with many esports events and smaller conventions. Even some workplaces have been instituting a work from home policy for the foreseeable future until the coronavirus danger has passed, so it’s unsurprising that Niantic is adjusting its games to be played in more individual settings.

With Ditto’s return, trainers are no doubt frantic about completing this task as well as the entire Special Research quest, since spawn rates are currently increased. However, the quest ends soon, so those still stuck on this Pokemon GO task need to catch Ditto as soon as possible. Luckily, there is an easy method that snuck in under the noses of several players. The on-going Let’s Go event saw a number of new but temporary Field Research quests added to the game, one of which is to make an excellent throw....

To aid trainers in their quest to catch ‘em all for the Fifth-Anniversary Collection, Niantic has increased the spawn rate of the 19 Pokemon. There are also other ways to boost the spawn rate and find Cyndaquil, so trainers can have more time to catch the other 18 Pokemon.

Despite how common they were near Violet City of the Johto region, a Shiny Wooper is not exempted from the low Shiny Appearance rate. Until last year, Wooper was Shiny Locked in Pokemon GO.

It has low attack, weak defense, and even worse speed....

Perhaps one of the most iconic Pokémon that many have found themselves striving for in Pokémon Go is Eevee. This cute and cuddly Pokémon isn’t just fantastic on its own, it can also evolve into some of the best evolutions available in the Pokémon franchise. And one of those evolutions is Sylveon, a fairy-type Pokémon. Like most of Eevee’s evolutions, getting your hands on Sylveon isn’t exactly difficult. It’s just a matter of completing the required steps to get things where they need to be....

The Pokemon GO presentation started off about as expected, with the developers showing some screenshots of Pokemon that had been collected at E3 2016. Fans following the project since its announcement have already seen plenty of screenshots like this in the past, so the real excited came when Miyomoto (possibly accidentally) started dropping some dates and prices. Midway through the Q&A, Miyomoto began fielding a question about the GO+ wearable device....

James Turner, the art director for Pokemon, has shared his take on what a dark side version of the franchise’s mascot would look like. This Star Wars Pikachu, dubbed Darth Pika, has a truly menacing aura, and his evil intentions are laid bare by just one look at his frightening visage.

In Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the Grand Underground is a massive network of underground caves that players can explore. Each cave is themed or is a combination of two themes. Most Pokemon found in each cave will fit the overall theme of the cave, but there are always a few odd ones out. RELATED: Pokemon Who Could Beat Mewtwo In A Battle Updated by Kirkland Fortner, March 6, 2022: As seen in the lists below, there are tons of Pokemon to be found and captured in the Grand Underground....

Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl remain faithful to their predecessors, while also adding some quality-of-life improvements. One of the classic Pokemon systems to return is the unusual method of evolving Rock/Ground-type Onix into Steel/Ground-type Steelix. Unlike most Pokemon, this evolution won’t occur naturally and requires players to acquire a special item called a Metal Coat.

Milotic, known as the Tender Pokemon, is a Water-type Pokemon that was introduced as the evolution of Feebas in the Gen 3 Pokemon games. Both Feebas and Milotic can be found in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, where they can be set to follow the player around using the Walk Together option. RELATED: Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Player Shows Off Full Team of Shiny Eeveelutions In the Pokemon anime, Milotic is shown to be an aquatic Pokemon with a long, serpentine body and a very streamlined swimming style that allows it to breach like a whale....

This is important because Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl use Sinnoh as their setting, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus takes place long before the events of both games, so any changes and additions that the title decides to make to Sinnoh should affect the two remakes. After all, nothing suggests that Pokemon Legends: Arceus isn’t canon to Pokemon lore. In fact, the degree of some of the additions that the Pokemon Presents showcase revealed about Legends: Arceus affect the Pokemon franchise as a whole, not just Sinnoh....

The franchise has seen a huge number of fan-made Pokefusions over the years, but this version of Primal Mega Latias and Latios is definitely one of the most interesting. Drawing inspiration from Primal Groudon, Primal Mega Latias is depicted standing on its hind limbs, a first for the Dragon/Psychic-type Pokemon, using a thick, scaly tail to help it balance. Its arms have transformed into enormous claws, and most of its body is covered in hard red armor plates with a black underside and molten gold filling in the cracks....

However, while many fans continue to look toward the future of Pokemon as a franchise, especially with potential Pokemon Scarlet and Violet leaks revealing total Pokemon, other fans continue to appreciate the present games as well as past ones. This appreciation ranges from fresh playthroughs of older titles as well as art and other tributes to older Pokemon.

Pokemon has brought players together through more than just the games. The Pokemon series has been used to help celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and more, becoming a major part of many lives. One couple even used pocket monsters to mark a very special day in their relationship.

Pokemon with dual-types had more strengths and weakness than those who had a single type. However, it never mattered much which type was the primary and which was the secondary. Pokemon would get the STAB attribute for both regardless.

Known as the Disguise Pokemon, Mimikyu is a dual-type Ghost/Fairy Pokemon. While there are many iconic designs seen throughout the series, Mimikyu has one of the more unique. Introduced in Gen 7, this pocket monster is relatively small and hides underneath an old rag that looks similar to Pikachu. Interestingly, one fan discovered that its design translated well to a real-world object. RELATED: Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Fan Designs Middle Evolution for Fuecoco Based on Leaks...
