As always, a few Pokemon GO bosses from the previous rotation stuck around, but there are also some fresh faces appearing in the Battle Raids. Ttar didn’t go anywhere, and the new lineup seems to have a ground, fighting, and water theme. For players who want to use newly acquired Pokemon to help takedown Heatran, those types will be very useful.

The December Pokemon GO Community Day event actually kicks off on Friday, November 30, at 1 p.m. PST and runs through Sunday, December 2, at 11 p.m. PST. There will apparently be special bonuses that are only available on December 1, 2018, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. PST. Since every Community Day Pokemon from the last year is returning that means players will have another chance to stock up on meta relevant Pokemon like Dratini, Bedlum, and Larvitar....

When Pokemon Go was released in the first week of July this year, it was an instant hit. Many people started going out and tried catching different types of Pokemon to complete their Pokedex. One Pokemon which caught the eyes of many and looked interesting was - Eevee. As Bulbapedia defines the Pokemon, ‘Eevee is a mammalian, quadruped creature with primarily brown fur. The tip of its bushy tail and its large furry collar are cream-colored....

Onix doesn’t appear to have any special abilities or moves but is a useful Pokemon in battles. Onix is a rock and ground type Pokemon and evolves into the steel and ground type Pokemon Steelix. Many trainers utilize Steelix in high-ranking Pokemon battles because of its abilities and strong resistance. Onix also has a slightly increased shiny rate than most Pokemon, which will make it easier for trainers to catch a shiny Onix during the Spotlight Hour event....

Following the recent update to his potential disguises, Ditto pops up after catching these specific Pokemon: Bidoof, Weedle, Numel, Seedot, Skitty, Ledyba, Remoraid, Hoothoot and Paras. While these changes might just be to keep players on their toes, it seems more likely that the Pokemon’s range of potential impersonations were altered to account for Ditto’s previous disguise, Yanma, gaining a rare shiny alternate skin in the recent Safari Zone event....

Sierra is one of Pokemon GO’s NPC trainers that serves as one of the leaders of Team GO Rocket. If players are working toward the Tricky Pokemon 2021 timed research tasks, she may be the one that players will need to defeat in order to earn a valuable Super Rocket Radar.

Here are all the steps and rewards for the Celebi Special Research in Pokemon GO and how to complete each one. Keep in mind that along with the rewards that players earn for completing an entire step, each individual objective will also grant players some bonus XP. Please note that this article is a work in progress and will be updated as more information becomes available. Step 1 Power up Pokemon 5 times Battle in a Gym 2 times Battle in a raid...

Unfortunately, this means that the majority of the Pokemon GO population simply won’t be able to “catch ’em all,” unless they dig out their passport and buy a plane ticket to another continent, of course. While this news may be disappointing for some that were hoping to fill out their Pokedex before new Pokemon are added to the game, at least they now won’t waste their time endlessly hatching eggs for Pokemon that are impossible for them to collect....

When it comes to squaring off against a Legendary dual-type like Reshiram, players are going to need to stick to a careful strategy to take advantage of every weakness and avoid a super long list of resistances. Its Dragon/Flying-type pairing makes it a very popular choice in the PoGO metagame time and time again, so many players are going to want to catch as many as possible while it’s available....

In order to get a better understanding of how impressive these sales numbers are, let’s run through some Japanese numbers for two entries in another popular franchise, Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy VIII sold 2.5 million units in its first week (an impressive number considering the time of its release), while Final Fantasy VII sold 2 million units in its first week. Nintendo and GameFreak did a lot right with these new games to make them more appealing to gamers....

RELATED: Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl: All of the In-Game Trades It’s perhaps understandable why Dusk Stones aren’t a bit more common in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, as there are only two Pokemon that are able to use them in the games. What’s more, both of these are version-specific Pokemon, meaning most players will only actually need to find one Dusk Stone during a standard playthrough. Where to Find a Dusk Stone in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Players will be able to find two Dusk Stones as they make their way through the games’ main story....

This traditional formula should be familiar to fans, but it’s been 15 years since the original DS versions of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl were released. So, old and new trainers alike could be stuck figuring out how to get the Works Key for the Valley Windworks building.

When Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are released, fans will not have imediate access to the new Ramanas Park, as they will have to complete the Elite Four challenge to enter the Hall of Fame first. Once players have completed this gauntlet of Pokemon battles, they’ll be able to search Ramans Park for Legendary Pokemon from other generations. Although some Pokemon fans are looking forward to the addition of more Legendaries to Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, others are celebrating the design of Ramanas Park’s Slates....

Several Pokemon have been featured at Build-a-Bear, allowing Pokemon players to decorate their favorites with various clothing and accessories. On top of the latest addition of Glaceon, Build-a-Bear’s lineup of Pokemon includes Alolan Vulpix, Charmander, Gengar, Mew, and Pikachu. Eevee is already part of the Build-a-Bear catalog alongside Eeveelutions Espeon, Flareon, Jolteon, and Umbreon, which gives Pokemon fans a wide variety of Pokemon types to choose from.

Nintendo’s faith in the way its engineers constantly push design space in consoles finally paid off, however, and the Switch can barely stay on shelves long enough for the ever-increasing number of gamers who want one to be sated. For those who feel foolish about doubting the Switch, however, a candid and telling interview with Pokemon CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara conducted recently revealed even some of the smartest minds in the industry had their reservations....

Ishihara gave four main reasons to Nikkei for the application’s success, and the first one he put forth was the obvious nostalgic and emotional connection that has remained with Pokemon fans since the series exploded onto the scene. Specifically, the Poke-President referred to the ‘Pokemon boom’ of 1998-2000 as being a key time period for securing this connection, when Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue were released outside of Japan, with Pokemon Yellow following shortly thereafter....

Totodile was introduced in Pokemon’s second generation and was the Water-Type starter for the Johto region. Machamp, meanwhile, was introduced in Pokemon’s first generation and is the final evolution for Machop. Pokemon fusions are fan-made combinations of multiple Pokemon, resulting in a new design that shares traits from the originals.

As a Legendary Pokemon, Mewtwo is rather rare in both the Pokemon video games and the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Some Mewtwo trading cards can go to collectors for incredibly high prices, with at least one being valued at over $400. However, some Pokemon fans would rather turn Pokemon trading cards into art pieces than keep them in a binder or glass case.

The leader, known as Giovanni, is an imposing, intimidating individual that may speak in a calm tone but has a burning desire to control the Pokemon world. With a trusted Persian by his side, Giovanni also happens to be the eighth gym leader of Pokemon’s Kanto region, setting up for the ultimate showdown to end a player’s quest to obtain all eight gym badges.

The Dratini evolution line is an interesting one from a design perspective. Dratini and Dragonair both share similar visual elements. However, the final evolution of this Pokemon, known as Dragonite, looks quite different from the other Pokemon in its line. For example, it has an orange coloration compared to the blue shades seen in Dratini and Dragonair. While many nostalgic fans love Dragonite just the way it is, one fan decided to change up the appearance of the Dragon/Flying-type Pokemon....
