Parasect, despite being one of the original 151 Pokemon, is quite forgettable. Though it has a solid ability in Dry Skin and access to moves such as spore, Parasect has always been hurt by its lackluster stats. The only use Parasect ever really sees in the mainline games is when trainers are looking for a random encounter lead who can learn both spore and false swipe, with Parasect usually being one of the easiest to obtain but always one of the weakest....

As part of the original Gen 1 Pokedex, Gengar has been a part of the franchise from the beginning. It has a purple coloration and round body, along with a set of spikes on its back, giving it an ominous appearance. While Gengar might feature one of the spookier designs in the world of Pokemon, one fan decided to try and make it even creepier. RELATED: Pokemon Fan Designs Venom Version of Pikachu...

A cornerstone of the franchise since its inception over 25 years ago, Charizard is arguably the most recognizable Pokemon of all time behind Pikachu. The Fire/Flying-type was recently featured in Pokemon GO’s Lush Jungle event, where Mega Charizard Y was the Battle Raid boss. RELATED: Pokemon Fan Makes Pokeball Pendant With Gengar Inside Posted onto r/pokemon by a user named MeandSamBFFL, the purple Charizard is nothing short of impressive. Modeled after the Pokemon’s Gen 2 sprite, the hand-made creation hits all the details with precision....

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl will be the fourth set of Pokemon remakes, which generally involves Game Freak revisiting a past main series game and updating them with the gameplay and graphics of the contemporary games. However, these new remakes look nothing like Pokemon Sword and Shield, and that is one reason why some fans were disappointed and why this concept trailer is exciting.

RELATED: Pokemon Born With Unexplained Objects For a week, players encountered Bidoof at every turn. These Bidoof knew some attacks they would not normally know, and players got XP bonuses. That was only the tip of the iceberg though. Team Go Rocket Grunts had Shadow Bidoof, there was a Bidoof Cup in Go Battle League, and a research quest that required catching tons of Bidoof. The reward at the end?...

While Pokemon GO has remained a heavily played game after its release, it really does feel like the arrival of Gen 2 Pokemon has breathed new life into an app that was still generating millions of dollars every month at the end of 2016. Unfortunately, however, the new update, which also nerfed the competitive dominance of a few Pokemon like Lapras, has seen the introduction of a brand new monster that is slowly becoming ubiquitous with high-level gyms - and it is a pink and white blob of happiness with tiny little angel wings....

As seen below, Team Instinct players Th6EvilDead and BigSheesh managed to easily duo Deoxys without any type of glitch. These Pokemon GO players stacked teams of Bite Crunch Tyranitars, Scizors, Gengars, and Mewtwos. With the aforementioned counters, they managed to defeat Deoxys with 80 seconds to spare, making it seem like child’s play. Those who cannot manage to duo the legendary this way also have another option: the empty party trick....

One of the biggest parts of this event in Pokemon GO is the Collection Challenge. By catching all of the Pokemon required for it, players will get the special reward of 175,000 XP. Players however only have the event’s duration to complete the challenge.

The best chance Pokemon GO players will have at defeating Ninjask solo in raids is if their Pokemon are weather-boosted. However, it’s still possible to beat a Ninjask raid solo with no weather boost if players have powered-up the right Pokemon. The absolute best Pokemon for the job is Rampardos with Smack Down and Rock Slide, so ideally a Pokemon GO player who wants to beat a Ninjask raid solo will have a full team of properly-equipped Rampardos....

Catching the Mythical Pokemon Mew in Pokemon GO is the goal of the Special Research quest called A Mythical Discovery. This quest is divided into eight distinct steps, all of which have their own set of objectives and rewards. While some may not want spoilers for what lies ahead, others may want to be sure that they can properly prepare for some of the crazier objectives. Here are all the objectives players have to complete to catch Mew in Pokemon GO....

Here’s what Pokemon GO players need to know about Aggron… The Rock/Steel-type is weak against Fighting-, Ground-, and Water-types. Unfortunately, the big bad also is resistant to Bug-, Dragon-, Fairy-, and a long list of other types. That makes taking this one down a little more challenging than usual. Here is the squad we recommend taking into battle: The ideal counters for Aggron include Machamp, Hariyama, and Groudon. With the correct move sets, a handful of trainers with these Pokemon should be able to power right through Aggron....

There is obviously a lot of math going on behind the scenes in Pokemon GO to help determine the catch rate for each Legendary and some players have been analyzing that to figure out how to maximize the chance of catching. Connecting with a Premier Ball is only the first step towards making sure that you successfully catch a level five raid boss. In order to have the best chance at catching a Legendary, players need to maximize the number of Premier Balls earned during the battle....

Pokemon Trainers hoping to take Pokemon from Pokemon GO to Sword, Shield, or any game aside from Let’s GO Eevee/Pikachu, will first have to download the Pokemon Home mobile app. Using the app’s mobile version, players can receive Pokemon from Pokemon GO and thereafter decide which other game to send them to.

In Pokemon GO and other Pokemon games, Wurmple evolves into either Cascoon or Silcoon. Cascoon then evolves into Dustox, and Silcoon evolves into Beautifly. Pokemon GO players that don’t want to catch a ton of Wurmple will want to control its evolution so they can obtain all the Pokemon in its evolutionary line, but so far none of the theories on how to do this have been proven. Since Eeevee’s evolution can be controlled by giving it a certain nickname, some fans assumed that controlling Wurmple’s evolution would be similar....

Latios and Latias initially appeared in Pokemon GO raids a few years ago now, during a late winter/early spring rotation. That means that there are a lot of new Pokemon, evolutions, and movesets available now and the strategy for the Raids have changed quite a bit. For players who still have an older roster saved, we thought it would be a good idea to post an update with the current best counters available....

Pokemon GO’s September Community Day has already been confirmed and details, but there is a lot more action on the way. Pokemon GO players who work on weekends or have other commitments that require lots of planning ahead can now start mapping out their fall schedule, because Niantic has confirmed the Community Day dates for the rest of 2019. RELATED: Pokemon GO Just Increased The Speed Cap At this point, we do not know which Pokemon or bonuses will be featured during the October, November, and December events; but those details are very likely to arrive month by month as the events approach....

In addition to the bug-themed Research Breakthrough, Pokemon GO players are also going to have a chance to catch a shiny version of Caterpie for the first time. Caterpie’s whole three-step evolution family should have shiny version available starting on November 1. Here’s a look at all three new shiny creatures… The Caterpie family is not particularly exciting or relevant to the meta-game, but the Gen-1 Bug-type is popular amongst fans for nostalgia’s sake....
