Team GO Rocket is just as nefarious as all the other manifestations of Team Rocket in the vast Pokemon franchise. At the very top of the sprawling criminal network is Giovanni, the big boss of Team GO Rocket. Suiting his position, Giovanni is one of the toughest Team GO Rocket trainers for players to beat in Pokemon GO, and it’s important to bring the right team.

While not all of the Pokemon from the Kalos region have been added to Pokemon GO yet, a few notable Pokemon did arrive with the recent update. This includes the Kalos region’s starter Pokemon: Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie. RELATED: How to Catch Klefki in Pokemon GO Many trainers will want to catch these iconic Pokemon, but there’s currently an even bigger incentive for catching Chespin especially due to the Kalos Celebration Event....
Like with many of Pokemon GO’s events, A Very Slow Discovery has its own research tasks to complete as well as a Collection Challenge. Luckily, this Collection Challenge is easier than most other ones, letting more players earn its rewards.

Heracross, who once had a prominent role in the Pokemon anime series, is arguably one of the most popular second generation Pokemon, making it a desirable catch for Pokemon GO players. Unfortunately for players that live outside of the Americas, though, there’s some evidence that suggests Heracross is region-exclusive to North and South America. Reddit user Wolfssoul has compiled data that show Heracross being captured in areas like southern Florida and parts of South America....
Registeel initially appeared in Pokemon GO raids quite a while ago, but is finally back thanks to the Battle League prep raiding event. That means that there are a lot of new Pokemon, evolutions, and move sets available now and the strategy for the Raid has 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....
It was recently announced that the Pokemon anime is wrapping up the adventures of Ash and Pikachu to focus on a new cast of characters. More information on these characters is not available at the time of this writing beyond that the new Pokemon anime heroes will be a boy and a girl living in the Paldea region, and that they will be joined by the region’s starter Pokemon. Rumors have swirled that the new female protagonist in the Pokemon anime is Ash’s daughter, but that theory has yet to be confirmed....
RELATED: 10 Pokémon Who Can Heal Themselves In Battle There are a lot of unfortunate RNG-based things that can happen during combat, but there are also different strategies to employ.

Here are some of the strongest attacks in the game, all of which impose stat penalties on the user....
In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the Grand Underground takes inspiration from Sword/Shield’s Wild Area, in which players will be able to visibly see Pokemon wandering around. While it’s not possible to physically see Pokemon in the grass using the Poke Radar, it’s easier for trainers to shiny hunt. Some Pokemon are exclusive to the Poke Radar and can’t be found anywhere else in Sinnoh. RELATED: Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl: How to Get Shiny Starters...
RELATED: Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl: Every Pokemon in the Grand Underground Ever since the Gen 1 games, Master Balls have provided players with a sure-fire way of catching Pokemon. Unlike regular Pokeballs, which often require players to weaken Pokemon in order to be effective, a Master Ball has a 100% catch rate regardless of a Pokemon’s health or status. There is something of a catch, however, as Master Balls are traditionally incredibly rare, and this is once again the case in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl....

The Kanto starter Pokemon are some of the most well-known Pokemon in the history of the franchise, especially if series mascot Pikachu is counted among them. Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle are all popular in their own right, but Pikachu is on another level. This isn’t the first time a Pokemon fan has created a tribute to the Kanto starters, but it may be one of the most impressive. RELATED: Pokemon Fan Makes Christmas Bulbasaur Cross-Stitch...
Halloween events in the Pokemon games often put Pokemon in cute little Halloween costumes, but Togepi isn’t often on the official Halloween roster. This doesn’t seem to have kept Reddit user kmglasscreations from using fan-made Halloween Togepi designs as inspiration for a gorgeous piece of stained-glass fanart made just in time for the holiday. RELATED: Valheim Player Adds Game Boy Emulator That Lets You Play Pokemon Yellow Togepi is a small round Pokemon mostly concealed within a white eggshell covered in red and blue markings....
The act of releasing Pokemon has remained unchanged since the franchise’s inception, with Pokemon simply vanishing into thin air when released by their trainer. There has never been an official way to recover released Pokemon, and this has led to many instances of players losing their cherished companions upon accidentally hitting the wrong button or giving their device to a sibling. While the more seasoned players know that one can simply restart their console in order to recover their Pokemon, so long as they have not saved since releasing it, the Pokemon franchise is yet to make any accommodations, with the latest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet trailers not hinting at a related mechanic....

One Pokemon fan on Reddit noticed a trend when it comes to some of the new Pokemon forms that have been added to the franchise over the years. Chriscftb97 on Reddit has pointed out that many of the new Pokemon forms have a beard for some reason. Examples include Alolan Golem, Mega Alakazam, Gigantamax Kingler, Galarian Weezing. Other times, beards or beard-equivalents are added to brand new Pokemon evolutions as well....
Instead, the Pokemon anime’s famous Orange Islands arc can stake a claim to that accolade. However, as Game Freak has continued to develop its concept of biodiversity, it’s also actively chosen to ignore the franchise’s original regional form variations. For a number of compelling reasons, though, a future Pokemon title should finally canonize the Orange Islands’ variants within the franchise’s in-game universe.
