It has been a long time since Psychic type legendary Pokemon Mewtwo was first introduced to the fanbase. However, it has made significant appearances across a variety of Pokemon media, like in spin-off titles, the Pokemon animated series and films, and more. Being one of the first legendary Pokemon in the franchise, Mewtwo seems to have a profound influence and is likely considered by the fans as one of the more memorable Pokemon in the Pokemon universe....

After weeks of teasers and hints, Pokemon GO players now finally have the opportunity to earn an encounter with Genesect through a special ticketed research storyline. Much like the Colossal Discovery Special Research, players need to purchase a ticket in order to work through this storyline and earn the culminating encounter reward.

Players however can only complete these tasks while the event is active. RELATED: Pokemon GO Player Holds Gym for 3+ Years, Loses It to Cheater...

To note, the Anniversary Event 2022 celebrates six years of PoGO. This is made quite clear by the Field Research tasks, which all instruct players to do a certain activity six times. Fortunately, that is a very manageable number, though some fans may have concerns about what the Anniversary Event Field Research will be like 10 years down the road if developer Niantic chooses to stick with this gimmick....

RELATED: Pokemon GO Dedenne Counter Guide Dedenne has decent stats and is viable in some gym battles, though it falls short in PvP battles and raid battles. In Pokemon GO, Dedenne’s dual Fairy and Electric-typing gives it a weakness to Poison and Ground-type moves. It makes up for this by having resistance to Fighting, Flying, Bug, Electric, Dark, and Dragon-type moves, however. For those seeking to use Dedenne, here are its best moves....

RELATED: How Damage Is Calculated In Pokemon GO In battle, the Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) is arguably the most crucial additional factor for determining the effectiveness of a move in Pokemon GO aside from the main factors (Damage and DPS).

Heatmor, like many Fire-types, has a lot of matchups that are in its favor. Fire-type attacks being strong against Bug, Steel, Grass, and Ice types leave Heatmor having more strengths than weaknesses. It’s only weakness is towards Water, Ground, and Rock type attacks. Heatmor’s best moveset in Pokemon GO While Heatmor deals great damage with its strong fire-type attacks and an average attack stat of 209, it tends to lack in its defenses having only a stat average of 129 and a stamina stat of 198....

Evidently, Pokemon Trainers still love Pokemon GO; and although its fun addictive gameplay is certainly responsible for its success, the numerous free promotional gifts from Niantic have definitely helped too. As with many other expansive mobile games, players have learned to anticipate generous apology packages whenever something goes awry in Pokemon GO, and a recent case of missing Shiny Pokemon has resulted in yet another great present.

To note, Pokemon GO’s Galarian Ponyta Limited Research will only be available for one week, and it will disappear on June 8 at 10am local time. While that should be plenty of time to complete the tasks, as they are all quite simple, fans that have been trying to secure a Shiny Galarian Ponyta should not put the Research off for too long. Even if a player does not care about that Pokemon in particular, it may still be worth tackling the tasks, as there are other rewards available....

Many players hunt for shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO, but they don’t have any mechanical advantage in battle over normal Pokemon. Shiny Pokemon just have different colorations compared to their normal counterparts, with the same possible stats as well.

A tweet featuring a photo of Snorlax was posted by Pokemon GO earlier this week and hinted that the July Research tasks and Breakthrough would be Kanto-focused. Some players are disappointed to hear of yet another Kanto-themed month, but at least the Research Breakthrough seems to have something special to offer. An in-game announcement confirms that Snorlax will be the July Research Breakthrough, but this time around he’s featuring the legacy move ‘Body Slam....

The event sounds like a complete success and the players who toughed it out through the whole day managed to meet their goal of completing over 40 Legendary Raid Battles, including one Mewtwo EX Raid. Considering how much of a number cruncher community Pokemon GO is, it should come as no surprise that one of the participants put together some interesting stats about his account’s XP and rewards for the day....

The latest iteration of the anime, Pokemon Journeys, sees Ash and his friend Goh traveling across many of the franchise’s most iconic regions in search of new challenges to conquer and trainers to face.

Updated on February 17, 2022 by Renri Seong: With Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl taking place in Generation 8, Pokemon like the Togepi-line retain their Fairy-typing from Pokemon X/Y. In the original Diamond/Pearl, Fairy-type didn’t exist, and players couldn’t get Togepi until the postgame. While players still can’t catch Togepi or its evolution Togetic in the Wild in BDSP, they can find it roaming in the Grand Underground instead....

To make things even more difficult, once either Legendary Pokemon is encountered in the tall grass, they can run away at the start of the encounter, which is where the move Mean Look comes into play. Mean Look is a Normal-type move that makes it so the opposing Pokemon is unable to run away from the battle, making it super useful for encounters with Pokemon like Cresselia and Mesprit and other Pokemon that tend to flee immediately, like Abra....
