When used in raids, Mega Evolution forms can be a massive asset for trainers hoping to defeat a boss as quickly as possible. The significant increase in their stats allows them to deal a massive amount of damage. This allows trainers to keep their battle party in the gym raid and avoid having to heal their team or throw together a new one while the raid is ongoing. Note: This article reflects the opinions of the writer...
Mega Pidgeot will be the first to unlock with raids, starting September 1st through 7th. Mega Houndoom follows shortly on September 11-17, and the Halloween Research Event for Mega Gengar starts a week later on September 22. As with all raids, players will want to gather together with friends to complete them due to the difficulty and participating players will have to check the game map and radar to pinpoint exact locations the special raids in their area....
Pokemon GO players have been trying to find Mew since the game launched and many rumors have already been debunked about ways to catch the super rare monster. Finally, it sounds like Niantic is ready to officially add Mew in the game’s next big update. Unlike previous Legendary monsters though, this one will be hidden behind a new questing mechanic, rather than a Legendary or EX Battle Raid. Niantic dances around actually saying Mew encounters will exist, but the company strongly suggests it....
Bulbasaur is known as the Seed Pokemon, and it’s one of the three Kanto starter Pokemon. This little Grass/Poison-type Pokemon looks a bit like a cross between a frog, a lizard, a cat, and a plant. As it evolves, the bud on its back slowly blooms into a flower. RELATED: Pokemon Fan Makes Christmas Bulbasaur Cross-Stitch Fans of Bulbasaur may be aware that Bulbasaur starred in the third Pokemon GO Community Day event, which appears to have been so well received that Niantic has decided to bring it back for an encore....
As seen below in the tweet from the official Pokemon GO Twitter account, the game’s annual Valentine’s Day event for 2018 will run from today through February 15, with Luvdisc popping up en masse all over the globe. According to Niantic, all of the players who take part in this year’s V-Day event for PoGO will be able to net three times as much Stardust for every single Luvdisc they catch....
Details about Pokemon GO’s August Community Day arrived within the last day and players who had their money on the Fairy/Psychic-type turned out to be correct. The August 3 event will feature increased Ralts spawns, an exclusive move, shiny spawns, and extra bonuses to make the three hours well worth it. RELATED: Pokemon GO: These Gen 4 Pokemon Are Still Missing from the Game On August 3, the event will kick off at 4pm local time around the world and players will have three full hours to catch as many Ralts as possible....
Right out of the gate Pokemon GO players will dive into the November calendar of events on the first of the month. To kick things off, players around the world are going to have a chance to help celebrate Dia De Muertos. In the past this event has been region locked (and there are still some features that are), but most of the bonuses and spawns will be available around the globe this time around....
Trainers who have been following Egg rotations in the past are likely aware that this breaks the usual pattern of 7km Eggs. The 7km slot was originally reserved for Alolan Pokemon, but that has changed quite a bit since the Gifting feature originally rolled out. This latest change to Pokemon GO’s Egg rotation definitely brings some interesting hatches into the metagame. RELATED: Pokemon GO Tells Player to Play Outside During Tornado Warning...
The changes to the Pokemon-collecting title involved many of the extra bonuses Niantic implemented as incentives for gamers to play the game even while stuck within their homes. Naturally, some Pokemon GO players were not happy about the upcoming revisions, given that the bonuses helped keep them socially distant from others, and also allowed players located in rural areas to be able to enjoy many features of Pokemon GO. However, harassing an official employee does not seem like the proper way for fans to go through in order to make their concerns heard....
Emolga, along with Sewaddle, Cottonee, Bouffalant, and Elgyem, will be making a debut during Pokemon GO Fest 2020, provided that participating Pokemon Trainers around the world can work together to complete Global Challenges. Players hoping to encounter the lovable Emolga should set their sights on Unova Week, which will be unlocked if GO Fest 2020 Trainers worldwide can complete a total of at least 24 of the 32 Global Challenges....
According to Niantic, Pokemon GO has been downloaded over 500 million times in over 100 different countries across both iOS and Android mobile devices. This number puts Pokemon GO on track to outpace many of the most popular mobile games ever, and in fact, it is already the biggest mobile gaming in many regions. If that weren’t impressive enough, Niantic has also revealed that the walking distance of every Pokemon GO player combined is 4....
The tweet went out yesterday from the Gucci account and included a photo of a campsite in the woods with a flag waving the Pokemon GO logo. There weren’t any other details, aside from the hashtag for The North Face x Gucci campaign, which seems to be a clothing and outdoor equipment line featuring some designs inspired by 70s throwback fashion.

That doesn’t mean Pokemon GO is free from flaws. Just like any good game, there are still some areas where Niantic could step up and make some improvements. One of those areas involves Pokemon GO’s eggs. Eggs are one of many great ways that the game encourages fans to enjoy the outdoors, rewarding fans with free Pokemon after walking a certain distance. Unfortunately, the longest distance eggs in the game, 12-kilometer eggs, aren’t really worth the investment, requiring a ton of investment from players, but frankly, they don’t pay off the way that they ought to after all the effort....
In recent months, Niantic seems to have moved away from fully rotating in new Pokemon GO quests and encounter rewards on the first of every month. This is a little disappointing for players who liked a frequent change of pace, but it does make it a little easier to remember which quests are the most rewarding. This month is changing things up and it seems like we’ll have a fresh rotation of Tasks, which will probably stick around until at least early January....
The tweet poses a question about a Water-type Pokemon from Sinnoh and uses a screenshot from the part of the Gen 4 trailer that shows Piplup swimming underwater. This tweet has caused players around the world to check their radar, Discord, and Facebook groups for word of a sighting, but so far nothing has turned up. Here’s a look at the tweet… The use of the word ‘reports’ in the tweet made many players believe that Piplup may have actually already been released, but so far it seems like that isn’t the case....
The real-life Team Rocket hot air balloon is just the latest tease that the infamous Pokemon-stealing group will be making its way to Pokemon GO. Previously, Team Rocket members were photobombing snapshots players were taking at Pokemon GO Fest Chicago - a phenomenon that repeated in Dortmund. Besides official teases by Niantic, there’s even more evidence that Team Rocket is coming to Pokemon GO. Dataminers have dug through Pokemon GO’s files, finding evidence that players will soon be able to encounter Team Rocket members while exploring the game world, with the ability to battle them....
The upcoming Pokemon GO Global Ticketed event will try to bring the spirit of dueling versions into the mobile AR experience by offering a Red and Green experience. Depending on which version ticket buyers select they will experience some different chances of encountering select shiny Pokemon. This is a pretty fun twist and will offer even more motivation for players to take advantage of the limited time extended trade distance feature that will be available once again during the event....
As has become tradition for GO Tour events, ticket holders will have even more reason to log in during the celebration thanks to some additional special features. To help build hype for the event, there are going to be some in-person celebrations taking place across Europe to give Pokemon GO fans a chance to bundle up and get together to celebrate the end of the in-game season.

Trading Pokemon with other players is a staple of the franchise, and something that was advertised in the original Pokemon GO trailer, but so far the feature hasn’t been added to the mobile game. Fans were starting to get their hopes up after some code in the APK was found that made explicit mentions of trading… The fragments of trading code were leftovers from the Pokemon GO beta and have now been removed as of patch 0....
The APK teardown for update 0.175.0 includes a lot. There are bug fixes, updates to Friend functionality, and even the bones for what will likely become a Remote Raid invite system so that Pokemon GO friends can raid alongside each other. All that said, the part of the code that touches on the Galar region creatures is probably the most exciting.
