Kecleon is a pure Normal-type Pokemon from the Hoenn region that has yet to appear in Pokemon GO. While not being an especially popular Pokemon compared to many others, many players have been waiting for its release so that all of the third generation could properly be caught in-game. RELATED: Pokemon GO Players Are Frustrated With Legendary Raid Catch Rates While Niantic has been quiet about Kecleon for a long time, a recent interview with Gfinity Esports has revealed that the Pokemon has not been forgotten....

Rumors have been swirling recently that Darkrai, a Ghost-type Mythical Pokemon, would be released during the month of October. Players have speculated that Darkrai would be released as a Special Research reward, not unlike prior Mythical Pokemon releases. For example, both Mew and Jirachi were Special Research rewards. However, this new datamined information has thrown that rumor for a loop.

Different events that take place in Pokemon GO throughout the month will shake up the Egg pool from time to time, but there will be a base of Pokemon for each different type of Egg that players can rely on from the start to finish of January 2021. This month includes some exciting hatch possibilities with powerful Pokemon GO metagame potential, so trainers won’t want to miss out on the full list of which Pokemon are available....

Reddit user and Pokemon GO player SenseiEntei expressed his disappointment with a recent EX Raid experience, where he was the only one that showed up to battle Mewtwo. SenseiEntei waited until there was just 10 minutes left on the clock before he decided to battle the legendary beast, even though he knew there would be no chance he could win the fight. Ultimately, SenseiEntei participating in the EX Raid was a waste of his time since it seems no other players received invites, or at least, they didn’t want to participate....

There are four different collection challenges that players can complete during Pokemon GO Fest 2021. Players will have from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday, July 17th in their local times to complete these challenges before they go away for good.

[HTML1] The footage comes from a player in Australia, who is presumably part of the game’s extended field tests which also cover New Zealand and Japan. The footage shows off Pokemon GO’s introduction, showing off the trainer customization options available to players. Unlike in other Pokemon games, once a player has finished customizing their avatar, they are responsible for catching their own starter creature, rather than having one provided from the Pokemon professor....

Originally, many gamers thought that Eevee’s secondary attack predicted the evolution, but that proved to be incorrect. There’s also a rumor about the evolution correlating to the color of the nearest gym, but that theory was also debunked. Instead, it seems the best way to take control of the otherwise random evolution has to do with an Easter egg (not the kind you hatch) referencing the original anime. In the cartoon; Pyro, Sparky, and Rainer are known as the Eevee brothers and it seems Niantic has inserted a very fun reference to the trio in Pokemon GO....

Of these bugs, one of the most frustrating by far has been the one that has seen the Pokemon GO tracking tool become completely ineffective at pinpointing the location of a given Pokemon. For a game that has been built upon the spirit of exploring the world in search of increasingly rare creatures that spawn on a mobile device’s screen, not having the tools to locate these Pokemon is borderline unacceptable....

Starting later this week, that list of Pokemon GO Battle Raid bosses will have a slight rotation and introduce Mega Absol to the list for the very first time. This is a new addition to the list of every Mega Pokemon available in the game and maybe players will likely want to take advantage of the opportunity to catch Absol a few times and start saving up Mega Candy to earn that limited time evolution....

Community Days and Community Day Classics present excellent opportunities for Pokemon GO trainers to catch featured pocket monsters that sport an increased spawn rate in the wild for a previously stated period of time. The advertised creatures are usually rare encounters, and these events allow players to add them to their party. This article offers all the details regarding the upcoming Community Day Classic in January 2023 for readers to peruse through and prepare for accordingly....

March’s Pokemon GO event doesn’t seem like it is going to using the voting mechanic like February, but Niantic is starting to drop hints about which Pokemon will be featured. A recent tweet from the official Pokemon GO account features an image and an emoji that has left players with a pretty strong hunch about the theme of March’s big Community Day event.

Despite being a Gen 3 Pokemon (Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald), Kecleon was never added to Pokemon GO when Hoenn-region Pokemon started to appear throughout 2017 and 2018, and is so far the only Gen 3 Pokemon to have never been made available at all, not even in special raids or events. However, some fans seem to be convinced that Niantic will finally add the chameleon-looking creature very soon....

Two Pokemon GO players, Matt Schwan and Trey Plocher, were playing the game at the St. Louis, Missouri, riverfront on Saturday night, but then smelled smoke and heard cries for help. The two game users then discovered a fire in a nearby warehouse, and called 911 to alert the fire brigade. Upon arrival, firefighters were then able to rescue two people from the burning building. Should the duo have not been in the area playing Pokemon GO, then it’s possible that no-one would have heard the shouts for help and been able to call emergency services....

Based on data from Sensor Tower, Pokemon GO set a peak for revenue the week of March 16 by a significant margin. It brought in $23 million for the week, over $6 million more than the week prior. The previous high for 2020 came the week of February 3, but even that only reached $17 million. The striking rise can only really be attributed to one thing, and that’s the increase in families across the world out of work and school and isolated at home....

For context, Pokemon GO has been as successful in two years as the entire lifespan of Pokemon Red, Blue, and Green. The original games made about 2 billion in that time period after adjusting for inflation, and it’s noteworthy that Generation 1 generated the highest revenue of any generation to date. Moreover, Pokemon GO has made more money than Pokemon XY, Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Pokemon Sun/Moon, and Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon combined....

The screenshot-in-question shows a Spanish-language newsletter that circulated through subscribers’ inboxes recently, which then made its way over to TheSilphRoad subreddit. The text gives vague details about what players can expect from this year’s Pokemon GO Halloween event, yet stops short of providing any specific start date. Translated to English, the newsletter reads, “Breaking news! Breaking news, trainers. Professor Willow reports that spooky events have occurred nearby. Could they be the work of a Ghost-type Pokemon?...

The increased effectiveness of Incense and the addition of Remote Raid Passes make the game much easier to interact with for many players and Niantic is trying to find the best way to continue engaging player groups who have enjoyed these variations on the Pokemon GO experience. To build on those changes, Niantic just announced two new tests that will offer select groups of players new experiences with encounters and in the game’s shop....

Basically, players need to open the journal when near a PokeStop and then immediately close it. This will cause the game to load (to tell if the game is loading, look for a white Pokeball spinning at the top of the screen), giving players a short window of opportunity to spin the PokeStop wheel and collect the items. Apparently, this trick works because players’ speed isn’t taken into account when the game is loading....

At the time of this writing, there are no specific patch notes available for Pokemon GO’s latest update on Android and iOS devices. However, Niantic took to Twitter to confirm that the update fixes some bugs, though stopped short of offering details as to which bugs have been squashed. It’s possible that the update is directed at some new bugs that have come about after the game’s substantial gym and raid update....

In a recent interview, The Pokemon Company’s marketing director J.C. Smith explained that the company is working on a balance between keeping Pokemon GO fun and making it more respectful to business owners and homeowners who have been affected by the presence of PokeStops and Gyms. Although some locations have embraced Pokemon GO by directly advertising to Pokemon trainers or even setting up lures to attract business, not everyone is quite so happy with the game....
