On September 19, 2021, Reddit user DickieDarkside posted their finding on the unofficial Pokemon GO Subreddit. During what was meant to be a normal encounter with a Swablu, the Pokemon’s texture appeared to be bugged with no apparent cause behind the glitch.

To make remote raiding in Pokemon GO even more enticing, Niantic announced plans to allow players to invite Friends to Raids. This is a pretty exciting possibility and would make grouping up to take down Legendary Raid Bosses much easier. Although the original plans suggested that this feature might arrive before the end of June, that target date has apparently been shifted.

The end result of these actions is that it is now much harder to figure out just how close any given Pokemon is while playing the game, and it’s a change that some gamers are angry about. Kotaku reports that some Pokemon GO players are now requesting refunds for their in-app purchases, citing the tracking changes in their complaints. A Reddit thread started earlier today contains many people reporting the results of their attempts to get a refund through either Google Play or iTunes and quite a few gamers appear to have been successful....
The last few hours to catch Lugia are about to expire and then the spotlight will return to Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion once again. The trio have appeared in Pokemon GO Battle Raids in the past, but this is their first appearance in recent months. Each of these Legendary creatures is pretty powerful and has a respectable spot in the current Pokemon GO PvE and PvP metagame. The trio will only be around for a limited time, so interested trainers should get ready to do some raiding within the next week to ensure there is time to battle and capture them all....
As always, Ash is set on his goal of becoming the greatest Pokemon Master, and it appears as if his quest is nearly complete. Ash has a new friend in Goh, and together they travel across the regions with the goal of self-improvement (and growing their Pokemon collections of course!) Ash enters the World Coronation Series to test his skills as he battles his way up the ladder, intending to join the Masters’ Eight in Pokemon Journeys....
Ever since their first reveal, many Pokemon fans started to believe that there would be a third Legendary creature in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet that instead embodied the themes of the present. This theory was later partly dismissed by a leaker who allegedly got access to an early copy of the games, stating that there would be no third Legendary at all. Yet, the recent tweets from another leaker who has a proven track record for Pokemon games, called Riddler Khu, seem to say otherwise....
Players have also quickly discovered that Pokemon Legends: Arceus brings back a ton of Pokemon to collect as well as some new ones. Some even have special Pokemon variants of the Hisui region like a wooden-style Voltorb. Legendaries are also present in the game including the aforementioned Arceus, Palkia, Dialga, and a ton more.

None of these Pokemon are actually available in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, with Cyndaquil being the only one of them to be featured in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, instead. This always made players wonder what could have happened to these critters in between games, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus might explain that by introducing new lore and new Hisuian evolutions for them. In fact, there have been numerous clues and leaks regarding the trio’s possible evolutions in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and one of the biggest hints was provided by the game’s trailer themselves, which never show any of the starters evolved....
Furthermore, Pokemon Legends: Arceus is adding plenty of new features or reworking existing ones, both things that add to the experience more than what the game is actually missing - Pokemon abilities, held items, and breeding. One of the most interesting new additions comes from the new status conditions and weather effects, as well as some past ones being changed in a way that makes several Pokemon types and species more balanced and competitive than before....
Pokemon Legends: Arceus changes that in a big way. Rather than having the Pokedex as an optional, secondary objective, it’s woven into the core of the story and gameplay. Because Pokemon Legends: Arceus is set in the distant past, this makes a lot of sense. The Pokedex objective is usually overshadowed by a gym tournament, but the absence of gyms in Arceus puts collecting Pokemon at the top of the priority list....
Riddler_Khu on Twitter, a Pokemon leaker whose tweets are now protected, has claimed that Pokemon Legends: Arceus will be missing some fan favorite features that have been featured prominently in the main series Pokemon games. According to Riddler_Khu’s information, Pokemon Legends: Arceus will not let Pokemon hold items and will be taking away Pokemon abilities. Not only that, but the leak claims that Pokemon Legends: Arceus will not allow for Pokemon breeding, which is another popular feature that many fans will be disappointed to see go....
With a large open-world for players to explore though, and graphics that let players exist in an area filled with roaming Pokemon allowed out of their Poke Balls, meaning that Pokemon Legends: Arceus allows for some photo opportunities unlike any of the other mainline Pokemon games. While it might not be a great idea for players to take a selfie with some wild or Alpha Pokemon, as this can end up with the player being attacked and knocked out in-game, one player has managed to create an impressive series of photos using the game....
There are multiple factors in play when it comes to increasing a player’s chance of spawning a Shiny Pokémon in both Pokémon Let’s Go titles. According to Reddit user ddsuktuoft, one of those factors is caused internally by the system’s RAM, and not by factors in the player’s control, such as holding onto Lures or Shiny Charms, although having said items will greatly improve spawn rates for a Shiny regardless....
Wonder Mail codes in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX are similar to Pokemon Sword and Shield’s Mystery Gift codes in that they are a series of alphanumeric characters that can be redeemed for predetermined rewards.

How to Get to the Poison Crew Base Atticus’ Poison Crew base is in the northeast section of the Paldea region, in an area called Tagtree Thicket.

Pokemon GO’s gradual rollout of Gen-3 has been a great way to keep players coming back for more of the game every month. If all of the new Pokemon had arrived at once, the hardcore players likely would have hunted them all down within the first few weeks. This approach allows Niantic to pull players back into the game month after month, during a season when the game is usually losing players....
