The police log is from a Melrose, MA newspaper and describes a scene that is all too familiar to any Pokemon GO player who frequently completes Battle Raids. Cars full of players flock to a park or public statue that is usually ignored by the community and the nearby locals get spooked and call the cops. It may sound silly to call the police just because people are showing up at a park, but we’ve seen it happen in person multiple times....
Trading is an integral part of the Pokemon experience in nearly every title in the franchise and that’s no different with the mobile Pokemon GO. Pokemon GO fans have been able to trade Pokemon with each other since last year, but Niantic has stated that a glitch associated with the feature has been causing issues that inspired the team to remove the ability for players to trade with each other while it investigates the problem....
All of the collection challenges for this event in Pokemon GO are themed around the habitat hours occurring throughout the first day. Players who have bought event tickets will have from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on July 17th in their local times to complete these challenges as they will not able available on the second day. RELATED: Pokemon GO Fest 2021 Field Research Tasks and Rewards Like all of these habitat collection challenges, the Jungle Collection Challenge requires players to find and catch ten specific Pokemon....
Fans may be most interested in learning the rarest second-generation Pokemon that can hatch from each type of egg. For 2km eggs, the rarest Pokemon is the ghost-type Misdreavus, which should come as no surprise as ghost-type Pokemon have always been relatively rare in Pokemon GO, except during the game’s Halloween event. 5km eggs, which players are more likely to earn at PokeStops than 10km or even 2km eggs, have quite a few second-generation Pokemon assigned to them....
Last week, Niantic announced that they were taking requests for new PokeStops and Gyms. This was good news, not only for players in rural areas where gyms and stops tend to be few and far between, but also for business owners who hoped to grab one of these coveted locations in Pokemon GO for their own business. Unfortunately, those businesses that procrastinated sending in their requests may be out of luck, because Niantic just announced that they have stopped taking requests for PokeStops and Gyms for the foreseeable future....
That complicated relationship is why it’s concerning to hear that Pokemon GO could get new in-game advertisements soon. According to the Pokemon GO datamining group PokeMiners, a new set of assets joining Pokemon GO includes several placeholders for Google Ads of various sizes. While Niantic hasn’t stated expressly that it wants to put traditional ads in Pokemon GO, the datamine certainly suggests that Niantic has that on its mind. The strong negative reaction to the ads makes it clear that putting advertisements in Pokemon GO could be a big mistake, driving away players who have been supporting the game for years....
The Pokemon GO community still has a bit of time before the first half of the Luminous Legends Y event starts on May 18, but it’s never too early to start preparing. Obviously the event the will include the debut of Yveltal in the mobile AR game, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There are tons of other special features including some limited time Battle Raid bosses and lots of opportunities to battle and catch some new Shadow Pokemon....
Throughout March 2021 there are going to be some very exciting opportunities to encounter new Legendary forms by completing Battle Raids. While February 2021 was really a throwback Legendary month that focused on the earliest generation of Legendaries, March is heading in the other direction and bringing Landorus and Thundurus into the Pokemon GO spotlight. RELATED: Pokemon GO: Best Lapras Counters (2021) That’s just the start of the excitement though....
Through online marketplaces like Craigslist, people have begun to offer chauffeuring services to Pokemon GO players who are unwilling to walk long distances. Over on the Vancouver Craigslist – where the game is only available as a bootleg since the Pokemon GO hasn’t been officially launched there yet – one driver has offered to pick up players at a requested location in the city and drive them around the city....
Typically, the fully-evolved version of the Pokemon caught during the Community Day event somehow influences the metagame. For example, a Dragonite with Draco Meteor is a powerful counter to other Dragon-types in Pokemon GO, and a Venusaur with Frenzy Plant makes it one of the best Grass-types in the game. However, Mareep has an underwhelming set of moves and stats, with Dragon Pulse doing little to improve this. Overshadowed by legendaries Raikou and Zapdos, Ampharos is pretty overlooked because it is neither a great attacker or defender....
Beyond the raid list shake-up, there are two other events tied to Raid Week 2019: Raid Hour and Lapras Raid Day. On May 22, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, the number of raids that spawn will be much higher than normal, giving players a better chance at getting some of the new Pokemon added for Pokemon GO Raid Week 2019. Lapras Raid Day, much like previous similar events, will see the Water-type Transport Pokemon will be joining the raid roster for a limited time....
However, Pokemon GO’s Fashion Week highlights a major flaw in the game. Although the Fashion Week event added some new clothing items for player avatars, it doesn’t go far enough to fix the significant pitfalls of Pokemon GO’s character customization. The event puts an emphasis on self-expression and the player’s sense of style, yet avatars in Pokemon GO can barely be edited beyond the clothes on their backs. Fashion Week would feel like a more appropriate celebration of each player’s identity if players had more tools to make their avatars look like themselves....
This Pokemon GO event will be running from June 19th to June 24th at 10 p.m. in players’ local times. Shiny hunters should note that there are no new shinies introduced in this event. RELATED: New Pokemon Snap: All Pokemon Confirmed So Far During this event, the amount of stardust received by catching Pokemon is doubled, so catching Pokemon in bulk is highly recommended. Using a star piece can increase the yields even more, as this will add to the existing stardust modifier and allow players to get 4x the usual stardust....
It’s no secret that Pokemon GO players love to help each other out. After witnessing a bit of a disastrous EX Raid battle event in San Francisco, one player has outlined a few tips for newcomers to the feature. The following list includes things for new EX Raid players to be aware of before trying to take on the boss: Keep an eye out for mentions of EX Raid invites on Discord, or whatever communication channel local Pokemon GO players generally use to coordinate meetups and raid attempts....
