As established earlier this month, there are some Pokemon GO Holidays bonuses that will be active throughout the full event, but there are some special bonuses that will only be in place during either Part 1 or Part 2 of the PoGO winter extravaganza.

Today, the main attraction in Pokemon GO is going to be the special Raid Hour event. During the event window trainers are going to find the Swords of Justice Pokemon hatching from every Gym in sight. That means that there will be plenty of opportunities for Legendary battles and encounters if players plan things right.

Some members of the XDA developer forums claim that “Pokemon GO is abusing its read permissions to read Android’s internal storage and search for possible hints that your device is rooted.” As you might expect, that is a scary thing to hear for a lot of users. This new method seems to have been introduced in 0.115.2 as an additional method to cut down on cheating by detecting rooted devices....

This past September saw the start of Season of Mischief, which brought along the Psychic/Ghost type Hoopa into Pokemon GO. Players also experienced a lengthy, season long quest with time gated steps while requiring tons of Pokemon catching, typically aligned with whatever seasonal event was happening such as Ghost types for Halloween. As the Season of Mischief draws to a close, Niantic has revealed the next season of content, which appears to draw heavily on the upcoming Switch game, Pokemon Legends: Arceus....

While the Ed Sheeran event has been a wonderful addition to Pokemon GO, it inevitably lives in the shadow of the grand concerts that Fortnite has put on with artists like Travis Scott, Ariana Grande, and Diplo.

In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Sneasel goes from a Dark/Ice-type to a Fighting/Poison-type. Interestingly, Hisuin Sneasel won’t evolve into Weavile. Instead, it will become Sneasler, a new Pokemon from the Hisui region. Fortunately for those that prefer Weavile, the original Sneasel is a part of the Hisui Pokedex.

Specifically, Pikachu Clones are all the electric mouse Pokemon found in various regions. These include the likes of Plusle and Minun (Gen 3), Pachirisu (Gen 4), Emolga (Gen 5), Dedenne (Gen 6), Togedemaru (Gen 7), Mimikyu (Gen 7), and Morpeko (Gen 8). Fans have called them Pikachu clones since their inception, and it seems Game Freak wants to take advantage of that going forward.

The Pokemon franchise has never been one to take itself too seriously. While legendaries like Pokemon Sword and Shield’s Zacian and Zamazaneta have incredible lore, there’s really no explanation for when these games take place or anything that suggests any real chronological order. Indeed, Pokemon is designed to be taken at face value, which is why the games haven’t really connected or tried to explain anything about evolution since Pokemon Gold and Silver introduced eggs (excluding direct sequels like Black and White 2)....

The first generation of Pokemon games were groundbreaking RPGs. The unique monster-collection mechanic and rock-paper-scissors combat laid the groundwork for countless imitators, and the series has made substantial improvements throughout its long history. That being said, Pokemon has started to lag behind other high-quality, contemporary RPGs in one key area that has grown more conspicuous with each passing installment in the series. Simply put: the franchise’s non-player characters do not feel like characters....

Pokemon Legends Arceus, released in 2022, finds players focusing on exploration and Pokedex research rather than battling.

These ten other mechanics in Legends Arceus hopefully return to the new generation. 10 A New Way To Catch Pokemon In previous mainline Pokemon games, catching new creatures was as easy as pressing a button....

Niantic Wayfarer was announced earlier this week and the company plans to roll out the system before the end of the calendar year. So what does this mean for Pokemon GO trainers? Quite a bit, actually. Niantic Wayfarer will be rolling out to eligible Pokemon GO players before the end of the year. We’re not 100% who is going to be considered “eligible”, but hopefully the system is open to level 30+ trainers around the world....

Both Geodude and Grimer now have shiny versions in Pokemon GO. Many trainers have taken to Reddit to post screenshots and video proof, so the shiny variants seem to be fully confirmed. At this point, it’s not clear if there is an increased shiny rate for them during the event or not, but players should check to shiny check every spawn they see just to make sure. Here’s a look at each of the new shiny Pokemon…...

These events were supposed to take place in 2020, but got derailed due to unprecedented circumstances. However, to everyone’s delight, they have been rescheduled.

According to a post on Twitter by Niantic Support, there is an issue where legendary raids and EX Raids don’t count toward players’ “Battles Won” statistic. The company stopped short of revealing when this issue was discovered or what possibly caused it, but it has assured fans that the problem will be fixed in a future update for Pokemon GO. Unfortunately, when such an update will be released is still up in the air....

Of course, knowing what the end result could be when an egg hatches makes up a big factor in whether Pokemon GO players put in the time and the effort to hatch an egg. Because of this, it’s important to know which Pokemon lie behind the different egg tiers of 2K, 5K, and 10K. Thanks to Pokemon GO Hub, users can now know what to expect from their eventual hatch....

As seen in the tweet below, the sought-after Shiny Alolan Raichu has slightly darker fur than the normal Alolan Raichu, as well as dark gold ears and a golden tail. The Alolan Raichu is an Electric/Psychic-type Pokemon that was first introduced in Pokemon Sun and Moon and it can only be found in the Alola region. Alolan Raichu can also be evolved from Pikachu with an evolution stone in the Alolan region, and its special ability is to “surf” on its tail using its Psychic abilities....

This Pokemon GO event is well scheduled before Community Day begins, and it involves the entire community. Players will have to complete a task in order to place their vote for one of four Pokemon: Vulpix, Machop, Rhyhorn, or Dratini. Whichever Pokemon receives the most votes on February 1, which is the only day players have to complete the tasks and place their official votes, will be released into the game on Community Day proper, though the results will be announced on February 3....
