Pokemon GO has now revealed that move to be Frenzy Plant. Rumors suggest this move to be a two-bar charge that deals 100 damage, which could make this the strongest Grass-type move in the game. This powerful move will definitely elevate Venusaur’s standing in the metagame, as it would turn the fully-evolved creature into a Grass-type powerhouse. However, this new move isn’t likely to be the only special circumstance about the forthcoming Community Day....

The shiny form of Misdreavus forgoes its usual blueish-gray form for olive-colored green tones. While this shiny Pocket Monster may blend in more with the likes of Grass-types, their moves are a constant reminder that Misdreavus remains a Ghost-type Pokemon through-and-through. Interested gamers can take a look at the shiny Misdreavus below: Misdreavus isn’t the only shiny up for grabs this month. December’s Research Breakthrough rewards also allow for legendary Pokemon like Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno to be caught....

The Spotlight Hour events can be thought of sort of like a very mini Community Day. One Pokemon features greatly increased spawns for the short event window and there is usually some additional bonus or feature in place during the event to offer some extra motivation to get out and put in some work for 60 minutes. These short Pokemon GO events are usually fairly popular, but each week’s buzz is greatly impacted by which Pokemon is getting the spotlight treatment....

Earlier this month, Pokemon GO announced Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto, a special ticketed event focusing on the first 150 Pokemon from the Kanto region, meant to celebrate the franchise’s 25th anniversary in 2021. And as the new year and Pokemon’s momentous anniversary rapidly approach, Pokemon GO has just announced a Unova Celebration event as the next stop as part of a countdown to Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto in February....

Dragon Week is scheduled to conclude this afternoon and make room for the start of Enigma Week. That said, some players feel like they need more time with the current event thanks to a frustrating bug with the Today View and the Timed Research. The bug makes the current Timed Research disappear from the menu and become inaccessible. This means that players can’t see what they need to be doing and they can’t interact with the Timed Research to claim rewards or move on to the next level....

However, it remains unknown whether or not every Pokémon that can hatch from the higher-tier eggs has a place in the event. While players have been diligently compiling an extensive list of hatched Pokémon, it may not yet be complete, especially considering any new additions. With the dedication of Pokémon GO players, though, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a solid list confirmed soon. With some old and some new, here’s a confirmed list of Pokémon currently hatching 2KM eggs: baby Pokémon (such as Pichu, Tyrogue, Smoochum, Elekid, Magby, Azurill, Wynaut, and Ralts), Abra, Shellder, Onix, Eevee, Wailmer, Mareep, Slakoth, Poochyena, Scyther, Girafarig, Spheal, Chansey, Barboach, Trapinch, Dratini, Swinub, Corphish, Kabuto, Nosepass, Luvdisc, Snorlax, Togepi, Pineco, Mantine, Larvitar, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Taillow, Wingull, Makuhita, Carvanha, Baltoy, Lileep, Anorith, Feebas, Chimecho, Spheal, Bagon, and Beldum....

One of the Team GO Rocket admins to have an updated party for Pokemon GO Fest 2020 is Arlo, a trainer specializing in steel-type Pokemon. Defeating him allows players to attempt to catch a shadow Mawile, which has the chance to be shiny.

This issue has been brought up by fans online, and while it doesn’t seem to be all that widespread, we encountered it in our own testing. What’s strange about the problem is that the friend players are interacting with may still get credit and increase their friendship level, but not vice versa. This essentially throws the friendship levels out of sync with each other. While this issue may be frustrating to players who are trying to utilize the new friend system, and who hope to one day trade legendary Pokemon without spending 1 million stardust, Niantic is at least aware of the issue....

At this time, the friend limit in Pokemon GO is 200 friends. For those who only play alongside local groups or friends, this limit isn’t a problem. Those who take advantage of social media however often reach this limit quickly in order to have many gift sources and places to send gifts for various research tasks. RELATED: Pokemon GO All-in-One 151: Step 3 Tasks and Rewards The upcoming update to Pokemon GO will increase the friend limit to 400 friends, doubling the original amount....

This much was revealed to TechCrunch by Niantic’s Global Product Marketing Lead, Archit Bhargava, who explained that the developer aims to start the event on or around December 21. However, Bhargava failed to share specific details regarding the forthcoming feature, leaving many Pokemon GO trainers to speculate as to what kind of content will be offered up to celebrate both the game and the season. For 2016’s holiday event, Niantic decided to make the season special by giving Pokemon GO trainers a brief window to nab a limited edition Santa Pikachu....

Players of Pokemon GO will be pleased to learn that Niantic is tweaking the way that players are able to earn training rewards at gyms. An update last month added a multitude of changes, including a change to the game’s gyms that not all players were happy about. The most egregious amendment for many of Pokemon GO’s users was the lowering of the amount of Prestige gained by players training at a friendly gym, but it seems as though Niantic has learned the error of its ways and switched back accordingly....

The Pokemon GO Hatchathon event is putting some special Pokemon in 2km Eggs to help the community stockpile candy needed for Gen 4 evolutions. This means that creatures like Rhyhorn, Porygon, and Magby are all showing up in 2km Eggs between now and November 27. Here’s a look at the official announcement… In addition to the special appearances in 2km Eggs, this event also apparently marks the release of a new shiny: Elekid!...

For instance, Pokemon GO players frequently voice concerns about the game’s challenges, some of which are either impossible to complete or too difficult to be practical. Certain Pokemon GO medals are hard to max out, and some Special Research quests have sat uncompleted for months or years. Pokemon GO’s ongoing new content and bug fixes are great, but Niantic seems to have unintentionally left certain aspects of the game behind....

Although it doesn’t get as much attention as Tyranitar or Raikou, Metagross is definitely a top tier Pokemon when it comes to the Pokemon GO metagame. The creature isn’t as popular because it’s a little harder to come by Beldum Candy in excess, but that may all be changing soon. The latest datamine has uncovered the addition of Meteor Mash, an exclusive move that is the signature attack for Metagross....

Pokemon GO players have had all kinds of run-in with the police and criminals at this point. In fact, some have even committed criminal activity themselves, with Pokemon GO players being arrested for driving while distracted, assault, and other bad behavior. RELATED: Pokemon GO Player Assaulted by Teenagers In this particular case, the Pokemon GO player wasn’t doing anything to intentionally draw attention, but ended up with it anyway. Reddit user p4755166 shared their story with other Pokemon GO players, detailing how they were trying to use the Pokemon GO Pokestop scanning feature to scan local area features to get an increased amount of drops....

When Pokemon GO added Meltan, players were given multiple ways to catch the elusive Steel-type Pokemon. One way was to complete the Let’s Go Meltan Special Research, while another method involved connecting Pokemon GO and the Let’s Go games to get a special Mystery Box. Now it seems that something similar is going to be done with the newly-revealed Gimmighoul Pokemon, though so far the only way to catch it will be by connecting Pokemon GO with Pokemon Scarlet and Violet....

It’s unclear when the issue first arose, but it has been public knowledge since just over three hours ago, when the team manning the Pokemon GO Twitter went public with an announcement that indicated they were aware of the problem and were working to fix it. Whatever the issue may be, it’s clearly not a simple fix, as hours later the most popular mobile app in recent memory is still without a solution....

The problem withe the GO Plus on iOS 11 is that the device buzzes three to five times before registering that the user pressed the button. This may sound like a minor inconvenience, but it seriously slows down players are trying to load up on items or catch a lot of Pokemon without reducing their usual pace of walking, hiking, or jogging. When functioning properly, the GO Plus stops vibrating and registers the spin or catch attempt as soon as the user presses the device’s button....

In The Walking Dead: Our World, players have access to flares that allow players to reach content in areas where they may not physically be for the duration that the flare is active. So for example, there could be an epic loot crate somewhere in The Walking Dead: Our World, and someone can shoot a flare near its location, which would in turn allow everyone in that person’s group to snag the loot if they do so before the flare expires....

Niantic has confirmed that thanks to the success of Pokemon GO’s Kanto Tour, another GO Tour is coming in February and it will focus on the Johto region. Pokemon GO fans will have to purchase GO Johto Tour tickets in order to participate which are available now and cost $11.99. Just like the previous Pokemon GO Tour, fans will have to choose between two versions of the event with one focusing on Pokemon Gold and the other centering on Pokemon Silver....
