Those wondering which legendary character would be added next no longer need to speculate. The next Pokemon GO legendary is Mewtwo, with Mewtwo raids now available in Japan. The thousands of Pokemon GO players who attended the Pokemon GO Stadium event that is taking place as part of the larger Pikachu Outbreak in Yokohama, Japan, were able to work together to successfully complete the raid. According to reports, the event did not suffer from the same technical issues as Pokemon GO Fest which struggled due to the amount of people trying to use their mobile data to play the game....

Gifts can be sent to in-game friends to increase friend status and reward your buddies with some items. The new system gives Pokemon GO players even more reasons to visit Pokestops, so that they can collect enough gifts to send to all of their friends daily. Despite the popularity of the system, Niantic seems to have already decided that too many items were being handed out with each gift....

Cliff is one of the Team GO Rocket leaders in Pokemon GO to gain a brand new party of Pokemon for this event.

Like all the Team GO Rocket Leaders, Sierra often changes her lineup. In September, however, she maintains a theme of mostly Water, Poison, and Dark-types.

Each Mega Pokemon has its own unique strengths and weaknesses based on its type, so it’s important for Pokemon GO trainers to study up before entering any fights. With a Pokemon like Mega Banette, that is going to mean building a solid counter roster of high IV pokemon that exploit its weaknesses to Dark and Ghost move sets.

Shadow Ball Mewtwo is a serious weapon in the Pokemon GO metagame, so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that trainers are eager to get their hands on as many copies of the Legendary with the powerful move set as possible. A 6% base capture rate would certainly help with that, especially when the Legendary is only available through Pokemon GO’s EX Raids which are limited to begin with, but the latest changes to the master code suggest the 6% BCR isn’t sticking around and players should get ready for the return of the dreaded 2% rate....

With limited-time-only legendary creatures available all over the world, players everywhere have returned to the game, and major cities are seeing Pokemon GO trainers coming together as a community once more. But while the excitement of an exclusive and powerful Pokemon is enough to draw in the fans, there are a few issues that Niantic is yet to address. One noteworthy example is the impact that bringing legendary Pokemon to the game has had on the game-changing raid system that was introduced shortly before the mythical birds arrived....

Pokemon the Movie: Coco marks the 23rd Pokemon movie, and it exists within an alternate timeline established by Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You! The film follows Ash and Pikachu as they encounter the jungle-dwelling Coco, who shares a special connection with Pokemon Sword and Shield’s new Mythical Pokemon Zarude. While the latest installment has not seen an English release, a translated excerpt from the film’s novelization has revealed Ash may know a lot more about his dad than previously thought....

Once players obtain the Protector, they can give it to a Rhydon to hang on to, and then Rhydon will need to be traded for it to evolve into Rhyperior....

The Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl Switch remakes don’t stray far from this successful formula, keeping the same roster of characters and core gameplay of the originals. This includes the correct route to take when tasked with finding Eterna City. RELATED: Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl: How Are They Different From The Original Games?

Shortly following the wide dissemination of Emily Rogers’ assertions, the company known as CSC Corporate Domains registered websites for Pokemon Let’s Go: Pikachu and Pokemon Let’s Go: Eevee – the potential titles for the two separate versions of the upcoming RPG game for the Switch. Obviously, this doesn’t necessarily mean that a major statement is coming from Nintendo any time soon, but it does suggest that the video game manufacturer could be pouncing on those Web addresses before anyone else does....

Fusing Pokemon together is something that fans have been doing for a while now. Sometimes it can result in some pretty cool creations, and other times what comes out is just silly. Pokemon gives fans no shortage of mons to try this with, as there are just under 900 to choose between. Surprisingly, this Wurmple and Arceus mixup actually looks pretty cool. RELATED: Pokemon Fusions Would Make an Incredible Spin-off Game...

While this is certainly an interesting way to learn about how the beloved Pokemon universe came to be and now operates, it is something that has been seen in the world-building of video game universes time and time again. However, 2019’s Pokemon Sword and Shield on the Nintendo Switch made one important change to how it presented lore and the overall story to players. While the story, places, and legendary Pokemon in most mainline games have been used to describe general aspects of the Pokemon universe as a whole, Pokemon Sword and Shield were more region-focused, tying its most defining attributes to the Galar region itself....

Pokemon GO Community Day is a few hours long, but that’s not a ton of hours when it comes to hunting down a perfect Pokemon worthy of evolution. Players are quickly catching dozens of Pokemon and trying to keep track of which to keep, which to trash, and which to evolve throughout the course of the event. Using the Appraisal feature and IV calculator apps only takes a few seconds, but in the limited time event, every moment is precious....
