Since March, trainers have been able to get their hands on Shadow versions of the three legendary birds originally from the Pokemon Red and Blue Gameboy titles. Starting this week, the final bird of the trio, Zapdos, can be rescued from Giovanni for a limited time. With June now arriving this week, Niantic has a whole slew of updates and content coming, including a major refresh of Pokemon that can be found in the wild or hatched from eggs....

Select tasks are going to be easier at certain points of the day, depending on which Pokemon are spawning in the wild and appearing with Incense. Much like the GO Fest 2020 event, there will be rotating biomes every hour that change the current increased spawns and help Pokemon GO trainers complete different goals.

RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus - How to Increase Inventory Space Space-time distortions are a great way to capture rare Pokemon as well as getting one’s hands on some of Pokemon Legends: Arceus’ most valuable and hard-to-find items. They’ll need a fairly well-leveled team at their disposal, however, as all of the Pokemon that they’ll encounter inside these distortions will be very high level, particularly for those who are just starting out their adventure....

Once all but one of the plates have been collected, players will then need to return to the top of Mt Coronet, where their former-friend Volo will finally reveal his true colors....

Request 73 is a sidequest that unlocks between the end of Mission 11 and Mission 12, though only if players have caught a Burmy. If these requirements are met, then they can take Request 73 from the blackboard in Laventon’s office. Leif, the quest giver, can be found to the south of Jubilife Village’s Farm. There, he can be seen arguing with two other villagers about Burmy’s “true form.” If players speak with him, the trio will ask to see all three forms of Burmy as well as Burmy’s completed Pokedex entry....

In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, trainers can find Pokemon’s very own mascot, Pikachu, fairly early on. Players will have to complete a few of the starting Missions before they can cross the bridge to the other side of the Obsidian Fieldlands where Pikachu lives. However, it’s a good Electric-type to have at the start of the journey.

A good example is asking what will happens if players catch more than six Pokemon, considering technology isn’t there to automatically transfer them to PC boxes. In this same vein, it’s easy to see how the first-ever Pokedex of Sinnoh can suddenly become an issue because it would be hard to catalog critters and gather information on their habits with pen and paper. There is no official information about what the Pokedex in Pokemon Legends: Arceus will look like, but a trailer for the game does show a Poke Ball near a notebook illustrated with daily life in Sinnoh....

To do this helpful trick, players will need to first need to track down one of three Pokemon: Charizard, Dragonite, or Aerodactyl. Charizard is the easiest to come across, as players can get a Charmander for free as a gift. Once players have one of those Pokemon, they can take it out of its Poke Ball and ride on its back. This will allow players to fly across routes to avoid trainers, skip past ledges, and even find more wild flying Pokemon....

While this feature has been live for a few days, the latest Pokemon Presents formally announced its inclusion in the game, alongside a bunch of other announcements for the franchise. During the 14-minute presentation, it revealed the next mainline entry Pokemon games coming to the Switch, as well as free content updates coming to games like Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, as well as Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Pokemon Masters EX’s Victory Road feature was also given a small spotlight during this presentation, telling players a variety of rewards that will be coming to the game....

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are releasing in just a few more months, and much of the remade Sinnoh region has yet to be seen. In addition, the gameplay loop teased in the first trailer for Pokemon Legends: Arceus has brought a couple of burning questions to the table. As this is a prequel to the Diamond and Pearl games, there’s a lot of mystery surrounding it. However, that is all about top hopefully change, as the Pokemon Company has announced that it has some new info to share about both titles very soon....

In Pokemon Quest, the key to Eevee’s evolution is all about its stats and level. Eevee won’t evolve until it reaches level 36, and its stats at level 36 will determine if it evolves into the fire-type Pokemon Flareon, the electric-type Jolteon, or the water-type Vaporeon. If Pokemon Quest players want their Eevee to evolve into Flareon, then its attack stat needs to be higher than its HP. To get Jolteon, Eevee’s attack and HP stats must be about the same, roughly within 50 to 100 points of each other....

For anyone who hasn’t visited the official Pokemon Kids TV YouTube channel, it’s a Teletubbies-esque place and doesn’t have the high traffic that might be expected from an official Pokemon channel. While it has uploaded a few videos with several million views, at the time of this writing only five people were watching the channel’s live stream. Maybe fans are feeling a sense of Pikachu overload with all the Pokemon 25th anniversary celebrations, though it’s possible these fans simply need to burn off some steam with Machamp....

As the winter approaches and the weather gets colder, gamers look to celebrate the holidays and Pokemon are out celebrating in the snow. The most recent upload for the Pokemon Kids TV channel is a sing-along to Winter Wonderland, a classic carol written in 1934 by Richard Bernhard Smith. Smith was inspired to write the song by his hometown of Honesdale PA in the snow, and the Pokemon in the video emulate the fun of the winter marvelously....

Seasons in Pokemon GO are not to be confused with either events or weather - this is a brand new system that won’t replace either of those existing features. Seasons are long periods of time, usually three months (though that could change from season to season) that feature a recurring theme, special spawns, and potentially other unique features. Ideally, each individual event that takes place within a given season will fit the season’s overarching themes and play into a larger narrative and theme that carries players throughout the year in the mobile AR game as seasons come and go....

Although the AR feature is totally optional in Pokemon GO, with the rare exception for certain event tasks or catching particular photo-bombing Pokemon; Niantic is still very much interested in developing and improving the AR features of all of its core games (Ingress, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, and Pokemon GO). With that in mind, the company is starting to roll out new features that will recruit players to help gather additional data about the points of interest on the game’s map....

As of September 30th, the fire-type Pokemon Entei is now appearing in legendary raids in North and South America. Raikou, the electric-type legendary beast that had previously been prowling around the western hemisphere, is now available to catch in Asian territories. Pokemon GO fans in Africa and Europe, meanwhile, will start finding the water-type Pokemon Suicune in their legendary raids. Pokemon GO fans will have the opportunity to catch the current legendary beast appearing in their region until October 31st, at which point they will likely be rotated again....

Players who want to make sure they are ready to take down Zamazenta with ease can prepare for that tier 5 fight by reviewing the hero of many battles’ weaknesses and assembling a roster that is ready for the big fight. Unlike its counterpart, Zacian, Zamazenta’s type actually leaves it weak to a handful of move types that many Pokemon GO trainers likely have in their collection and ready for battle from previous raiding experiences....

The Pokedex entry for Unown originally contained the 26 alphabet versions of the Pokémon, but the latest update for Pokemon GO expands that number to 28. This makes it seem highly likely that the question mark and exclamation point versions of the Pokemon will be added to the game. Adding these versions now mimics the core games, in which the original 26 released in Pokemon Gold and Silver, and the latter two punctuation-based Unown were added in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire....

Last week, Pokemon GO announced a massive update to the game that would bring new Legendary Pokemon, new 6th generation Pokemon, and brand-new features to the game in the Luminous Legends X event. The event is jam-packed with event-exclusive Timed Research tasks, new monsters in both Eggs and Raids, and new AR Mapping tasks, as well as new moves for certain Dragon-type Pokemon.

Pokemon GO has confirmed that the August 2022 Community Day Pokemon is Galarian Zigzagoon, the Gen 8 interpretation of the raccoon Gen 3 Pokemon. Pokemon Sword and Shield first introduced Galarian Zigzagoon alongside other regional variants for Pokemon like Corsola, Koffing, Meowth, Slowpoke, and Mr. Mime. Unlike the various shades of brown reflected in the Hoenn regional version of Zigzagoon, Galarian Zigzagoon has thick black and white stripes that transfer over to the evolution of this regional variant, Linoone....
