One of the biggest parts of this event is the Sinnoh Collection Challenge, in which Pokemon GO players can test their hunting skills. Within the event’s duration, players will need to find and catch nine specific Pokemon from the Sinnoh region in order to obtain the challenge’s reward. RELATED: Pokemon GO: How to Get Frillish (And Evolve Into Jellicent) While some of the Pokemon required will be common spawns during the event, others will require players to work in order to find them....

The Pokemon GO Snapshot Challenge is a chance for players to “put those photography skills to the test,” offering three unique “adventures,” each of which is focused on creating a specific type of photo. With each adventure, a grand-prize winner and two runners-up will be selected, and these winning contestants, who will be picked based on “originality, creativity, and visual fun,” will have some exciting prizes to look forward to....

Sadly, an exact time frame wasn’t revealed, but many have postulated that it could be as early as today, December 11, 2018, because an iOS update for Pokemon GO is set to roll out sometime today. Others think it could be referring to the forthcoming winter event, but until Niantic rolls out this new wave, there’s no way to know. Check out the official teaser below: Here’s a rough translation:...

One of the options when creating a Pokemon GO account is to login with a Google email address. These kind of email addresses are permanent for the vast majority of Google users, but that’s not the case for everyone. Many people receive their Google email account through school or work and lose access to it when they graduate or leave that job. As you can imagine, that’s a pretty major problem for gamers who have spent hundreds of hours playing Pokemon GO on those accounts....

The new update for Pokemon GO brings with it a host of changes to the game. It fixes some audio issues, squashes a few lingering bugs, and decreases the time it takes to watch the Pokemon evolution animation. Besides these minor tweaks, the new update also makes three bigger changes to Pokemon GO that will hopefully change the game for the better. First of all, catch bonuses are being introduced....

However, increasing one’s item storage capacity in Pokemon GO to 2,000 won’t come cheap. It costs 200 coins to upgrade bag storage by 50, so players will have to spend at least 2,000 coins to upgrade it from being able to hold 1,500 items to 2,000. Players can earn these coins in-game by controlling gyms, but with gym payouts capped at 50 coins per day, it won’t be easy. Meanwhile, those who are willing to spend real money on the game will need to spend at least $20 to have enough coins to fully upgrade their bag (assuming they already have hit the previous 1,500 limit)....

The update offers a range of new feature additions for Pokemon Home. But the biggest and most exciting is the new Battle Data feature. This addition displays an array of new statistics for players to pore through. Statistics like overall competitive ranking, individual battle information, and also Ranked Battle options. Subscribers to Pokemon Home will be able to access this information directly from the app, rather than having to rely on websites....

Another thing that separates Legends: Arceus from other Pokemon games is its proximity to the mainline series before this, aside from its gameplay. This adventure is not only about revisiting older characters and their history, it is also about integrating mainline mechanics into a kind of spin-off setting, tying both aspects of the franchise together. While Pokemon Legends: Arceus remains a spin-off at its very core, when compared to most mainline entries, it aims to familiarize itself for people used to the traditional Pokemon format....

Request 69: Gone Astray…in the Highlands is the third part of a series of five Requests in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. As players make their way through the campaign, they’ll learn the ability to call Ride Pokemon that can carry them across water or allow them to climb mountains. A little ways past the midway point of Legends: Arceus, players will be able to start Request 69 as long as they’ve met the requirements....

The trend of creating giant Pokemon plush toys is quite prominent within The Pokemon Company. Over the years, the Japanese company has released many official giant, life-sized plushies that fans can purchase and display in their own homes. Some of the featured Pokemon that have turned into massive plush toys are Snorlax, Piplup, Lucario, Psyduck, and most recently, Spheal. With the addition of Garchomp in the roster of giant-sized Pokemon plushies, it seems The Pokemon Company has all the intention of producing more in the same product range....

Along with changes that allow players to battle more times per day, there are increased standard rewards and a bevy of new Pokemon to earn in encounters. Additionally, inspiration from the Galar region continues, as players can equip their Pokemon GO avatars with items inspired by the region’s Pokemon League champion Leon. Lasting from August 30 to November 29, 2021, Season 9 presents plenty of opportunities for trainers to test their strength and earn some goodies along the way....

The group in question is called Global++ and is known for distributing apps like PokeGo++ and Ingress++. According to Niantic, these apps both giving players access to special tools to allow them to cheat in the game and they infringe on Niantic’s IPs. There are apparently over 20 individuals that either help develop these apps or promote them via YouTube channels, like Alen “iOS nOOb” Hundur. As of this writing, it seems like Niantic is getting its wish, as the websites related to these modded apps have been taken offline indefinitely....

As far as Special Research quests go, many Pokemon GO players have found themselves stuck on the Season of Legends Special Research, as it’s one of the only Special Research quests that have required players to obtain legendary Pokemon. Getting legendary Pokemon in Pokemon GO is no easy task, as it requires players to win 5-star raid battles, which require multiple high-level players to participate if one hopes to be successful....

Pokemon GO Slakoth Community Day is set to take place on Saturday, June 8, from 3 PM to 6 PM local time. During this time period, Slakoth will appear at a higher rate, lure modules will last for the whole 3-hour time period, shiny Slakoths are confirmed, and evolving its second form, Vigoroth, into Slaking up to one hour after the event will reward the latter with a special move....

In January 2023, Pokemon GO players have already seen the debut of Mega Salamence in Niantic’s popular AR title, along with events such as January Community Day, the Twinkling Fantasy event, and GO Battle Weekend. In addition to the Lunar New Year 2023 celebrations, players will also get to participate in the January Community Day Classic this week. This article details all of the tasks and the rewards they offer in the event-exclusive Timed Research that will be available alongside the Lunar New Year 2023 event in the AR title....

A petition has gone live demanding major changes to the raid feature. Over 7,000 Pokemon GO players have now signed the petition which calls for developer Niantic to allow more free passes to accumulate in a player’s inventory each day. Or, Niantic should change premium passes so that they offer more than one use. Premium raid passes currently cost $1 each and the petition’s creator explains that trainers could find themselves spending $20 a week on raid passes or avoiding raids altogether due to the “hefty” price tag....

Originally a collaboration between The Pokemon Company, Game Freak, and Google, those who participated in an April Fool’s Day Pokemon Challenge on Google Maps could capture Pokemon while exploring the world on the app. This experiment would eventually lead to the release of Pokemon GO, developed by Niantic. Pokemon GO sees players exploring every area possible to locate rare Pokemon. One avid fan of the game, however, managed to play Pokemon GO somewhere fairly unexpected....

A new post made by EraticObserver on Reddit highlights the fact that the upcoming Pokemon GO Raid Battles will feature five tiers of difficulty for users to team up in order to complete. A screenshot displayed on the official Niantic Labs support page displays a Tyranitar silhouette at tier four, which is making fans wonder what the fifth tier could feature. The powerful Dragon/Rock-Type is one of the game’s strongest creatures alongside the similarly tier four Dragonite....

Although the Remote Raid Passes may be perfect for Pokemon GO players who are stuck inside thanks to current stay-at-home orders and social distancing best practices, Niantic has already confirmed that this is not a temporary feature like the increased spawns and discounted weekly bundles. Remote Raiding is now a part of PoGO for the foreseeable future, so it’s time for trainers to start getting used to the new feature....

Ever since Pokemon GO released back in July 2016, the steel-type move Bullet Punch has appeared within the application and remained unchanged until the latest update. When a Pokemon uses this move, a series of bullet holes animate over the rival Pokemon, accompanied by a series of flashes to imply gunshots. While some fans voiced concerns that the move was too distracting (here’s hoping they weren’t driving while playing), it’s obvious that others may have been concerned about the implications of bullets in a game that many young children were fanatically playing....
