As with many events such as Earth Day or Community Days, Niantic has added new shiny Pokemon to the game’s roster. It fits that the new shiny Pokemon are Makuhita, Hariyama, Meditite, and Medicham, all of which are Gen 3 Fighting-types. Typically, shiny Pokemon are extremely rare in Pokemon GO, but with the ongoing Fighting-type event, it seems likelier to catch the shiny forms of these Pokemon. For players on the lookout for these additions, Meditite will be red and pink instead of grey and blue....

The collaboration between the two companies was announced through the official Pokemon GO Twitter account. The tweet stated that select t-shirts from the collection, each featuring an iconic Pokemon, will soon be available for download in the Style Shop and can be physically purchased as well. This isn’t the first time that a major clothing brand has collaborated with a video game company. Earlier this year, Levi’s announced it was coming out with a line of branded Mario clothing....

The return of Lugia in legendary raids for Pokemon GO comes as a surprise, as legendary raids typically star one Pokemon at a time. In fact, Niantic just region-swapped Latios and Latias last Tuesday, and prior to their introduction to the game, Lugia was the sole star of legendary raids. It’s possible Lugia’s return to legendary raids in Pokemon GO was an accident that will be corrected whenever Niantic gets around to it....

Mincinno will be featured in Limited Research tasks and 5 km eggs, joining Darumaka (who will be a likely hatch from 7 km eggs alongside Shuckle and Foongus) as a new addition to Pokemon GO. The overall Lunar New Year Event will also make red Pokemon like Charmeleon, Corphish, and Kricketot as well as rodent Pokemon like Rattata, Marill, and Bidoof more likely to appear in the wild.

Hatching eggs in Pokemon GO is accomplished by obtaining the eggs at Pokestops and through other various means, by placing the egg inside of an Egg Incubator, and by walking with the egg for the required kilometers. Now that it is June, a new batch of Pokemon has arrived inside of the eggs. RELATED: Pokemon GO: All Pokemon Types Affected by Weather Boost Along with trying to catch them all, there is a chance that trainers will find shiny Pokemon, which Pokemon GO helped popularize inside of the eggs....

As Pokemon GO trainers spend the day heading out with friends to battle a long list of exciting Battle Raid bosses, there will still be a handful of tasks to keep in mind if they want to get the most value out of the event. In addition to the ticketed event Special Research, there will also be an eight part timed research chain available that makes the day’s activities much more affordable for players who don’t have a stockpile of Remote or Premium Raid Passes stocked up…...

The Pokemon GO Field Research Breakthrough reward for January 2022 is Onix, a rock-/ground-type Pokemon from the first generation of Pokemon games. Anyone that’s been playing Pokemon GO since launch likely already has an Onix, though they do have a chance of getting their hands on a shiny Onix through the Field Research Breakthrough. A shiny Onix is by no means guaranteed, but Pokemon GO players can improve their odds if they get as many Field Research breakthrough rewards in January 2022 as possible....

The built-in tutorial offers enough info to get players started and out into the world, but not much more. The new silver fox Professor shows up and teaches players how to throw a Pokeball and catch their starter buddy. After that, the professor mostly disappears and tells players to get out into the world and start exploring. This is where things can get a confusing… Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll see in the world, what the basic locations and items are, and how to reach level 5 so you can start capturing gyms…...

Presumably, this special Moltres legendary raid day will see every single gym in Pokemon GO converted to a Moltres raid. As previously stated, Niantic will be giving players five free raid passes, so even if they don’t plan on participating in the raids themselves, they may still want to go out of their way to collect the free raid passes. Since Moltres has already been featured as a Field Research breakthrough reward, some Pokemon GO players may not be all that excited to add even more of them to their collection....

DraconianMole provided a list of changes compared to other past spreadsheets, though he redid this spreadsheet entirely by scratch beyond importing pure data. Here’s the list of changes and additions: Imported Prof’ Kukui’s species ranking for attacking and defending on the left Included tankiness and my original tankiness% (comparing it to the best non-legendary bar blissey) Changed the Duel and Defense %’s to use the highest score bar blissey, due to it’s overpowered stats Included types into the rankings page for easier understanding Included a way of sorting all Pokemon to either include or not include unevolved Pokemon Included a way of sorting all Pokemon to either include or not include legendary Pokemon Lapras base stats...

This time around Giratina is back to help celebrate the introduction to the spooky scary Halloween season in Pokemon GO and it will be featured in Battle Raids now through October 23. That gives players a few weeks to battle against the iconic Battle Raid boss with their friends either in person or using Remote Raid Passes. RELATED: Pokemon GO Meowth Research Day - All Tasks and Rewards Giratina is a powerful Pokemon, but luckily it has a lot of weaknesses, as well....

For those unaware, Community Day sees a massive increase in spawn for the featured Pokemon typically during a three-hour period on one day (though certain featured Pokemon like Eevee received two days). This increased spawn kept players engaged and on the hunt for the featured Pokemon’s shiny sprite, with Pokemon GO players walking away with at least one most of the time The Limited-Time Research event followed a similar pattern with a three-hour period, but instead of increased spawns, players needed to complete certain tasks to spawn a Feebas encounter....

In the early years of Pokemon GO, Weekly Research Breakthrough used to give out Legendary Pokemon. It used to be a method that allowed players to acquire Legendary Pokemon who couldn’t otherwise get them because they played solo or played in rural areas. They were never as strong as the legendaries found in 5-star raids at the time, but it was still an option for them. Niantic has offered legendaries less and less over the years and some newer players may have never even known that legendaries were once a reward....

For those out of the loop, Pokémon GO divides a Pokémon’s stats up into Attack, Defense, and HP, averaging all those values into a CP value that gives a general sense of how two Pokémon compare to one another. It’s a simplified system compared to the core games, making it easier for casual players to stack up their teams without going through a bunch of stat calculations. However, this seems to have worked against Suicune; its CP reportedly falls around 100 points short of Articuno - the second weakest legendary....

According to reports on The Sliph Road Subreddit, players began to receive a new round of EX Raid Passes yesterday, and these invites grant them access to EX Raids scheduled for January 4th and 5th, 2019. As expected, these EX Raids will feature Attack Form Deoxy, Pokemon GO’s second EX Raid Boss. While some players have acquiring EX Raid Passes down to a science, others may be wondering how to get the opportunity to join these invite-only Raids and capture the new Pokemon....

Kangaskhan is typically region-exclusive to Australia, so this may be the one chance for dedicated European Pokemon GO trainers to catch the otherwise rare Pokemon. Unown is extremely rare in general, but was added into Pokemon GO in the Generation 2 update. Prior to this change, the Pokemon were unlikely to spawn except in very rare circumstances, like during special Niantic events. Even though Unown will be more readily available these next few weeks, trainers still have a tough task ahead....

In Pokemon GO, there are three types of eggs. Players can collect and try to hatch 2 km eggs, 5 km eggs, and 10 km eggs. Perhaps as a way for players to better organize the eggs they have in their backpack, the eggs are now color-coded by the distance required to hatch them. 2 km eggs have green spots, 5 km eggs have orange spots, and 10 km eggs have purple spots thanks to the latest Pokemon GO update....

For those that aren’t aware of what those aforementioned features include, players that own one of the original trio of Pokemon games on 3DS can attest to the newfound abilities found within them – namely, wireless trading and battling, as well as access to Pokemon Bank so that the monsters can be transferred over to some of the more recent installments in the series (i.e. Pokemon Sun and Moon)....

Voltorb is an Electric-type Pokemon that was originally introduced in the first generation of Pokemon. This Electric-type Pokemon evolves into Electrode starting at level 30.
