There are some brand new Pokémon now in the mobile hit Pokémon GO (iOS/Android) for trainers to obtain, as well as a special holiday version of Pikachu starting today.
Pichu and Togepi, both introduced in Pokémon Gold & Silver, can now be hatched from eggs within the game. There are more secrets to discover though, as it seems Cleffa, Igglybuff, Tyrogue (is its evolution Hitmontop available?!), Elekid and Magby can also be hatched from eggs!
Holiday Pikachu can also be evolved into an equally festive Raichu too, so don’t stop training!
FEATURED DISCUSSION: You’re a Pokémon Professor what is your area of research?

(It was the beginning… of my plan for world domination.)
I like that idea.
(Screaming the opening theme)
WHO PUT THESE TEARS IN MY EYES!!!
Throwback to these obvious fakes

Totally fake. Look at the colouring it’s all off and don’t even get me started on the lines and other art related stuf
I know and I doubt they’d make another bipedal fire starter
I doubt they’d make THAT terrible of a fire starter, right?
Yeah, it’s almost as bad as that tragic Owl
The Owl at least looks good
(don’t trigger me with that trash ass starter)
The owl is trying too hard
But it looks good still
At least it doesn’t look like it’s nutting fire
Yes, I also nut from my belly button
It probably Pelvic thrusts fire
That’s awesome though
Unlike the Owl
‘Look at me I have a… Now and Arrow. Yay.’
(Completely serious, I despise Incineroar with a PASSION)
It’s totally real, Gamefreak loves their Fire/Fighting starters and this is just another in a long line of them.
Another Fire/Fighting????
And there’s no way that I’m letting Popplio be a stinking Fairy
C’mon, we all know that Poppolio evolves in a Juggler instead
When PokéJungle first posted this on Twitter, I tagged Joe Merrick asking if he could prove it as fake, and he replied, “of course it’s fake.”
From that point, until the games came out, I would continually get notifications of people replying to that Tweet conversation like “Ohhhhhh Serebii is WRONG!!!”
I quickly regretted tweeting that question…
Just evolved my 6ivs shiny modest popplio. Shiny Primarina is gorgeous in game…

Aw… good luck though, hopefully you didn’t take 2.5 hours like I did with Mareanie… <3
Eww
Anyone want to battle when I get home? All I need to do is level up my last three team members before I can competitively battle!
VGC ?
Anything really
“As an annual tradition each December, it has been announced that the world premiere of the upcoming movie due for release in Japan in July 2017 will air on the Japanese variety show Oha Suta at 07:05 JST tomorrow. This will provide the first information and footage of the movie. We’ll provide the details as soon as they come so keep checking back”
MARSHADOW?! MARSHADOW!? MARSHADOW?! PLEASE! NEED! HAS! I!! HAVE ME NEED!
Eww
Why must you be so mean to me…
I don’t see the appeal
It’s adorable
So is Magearna
And?
It’s better than Marshadull
No it’s not…
Are you just trying to trigger me now?
No not really
Just sharing my opinion and making jokes
And please tell me trigger is a joke XD
Mostly
Legit I’m feeling dead inside now though
It’d fine me too
Let’s form a graveyard
I’m still dead….
How could you hate such perfection and like such trash?
Are you asking yourself that question?
No, I’m asking you
I’m legit curious how you don’t dislike Nutroar
I get why Deci though
Because it actually has a personality and I find it fun
It’s ugly as hell though and I REALLY dislike it…
To each their own I suppose
Tru
You cannot deny Marshadow is adorable though
In a generic way
Nah
Okay, but Magearna literally looks like Diancie. Marshadow is unique
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e97bee6acde74f51cc23362e08ec19271ed61c9e023c955246a8d0b159cc8b63.gif
😀
Don’t forget, Magearna has bunny ears, so that automatically makes it “Unique” (100% not sarcasm)
‘Oh look, it can wear a mask to unexplained the bullshit Fighting-Type! It’s unique’
But it’s the first pokemon to TRULY deal with shadows
Gengar?
I don’t know how I even forgot that one
Second one
‘Unique’
And Magearna is? Nah boi
Magearna is just a robot. It’s so unimportant that we hardly get a backstory as to how tf this thing was made and why it looks like a rabbit
Do you think jamming a Carrot in it would kill it?
Might short circuit
Ded
Marshadow is just a ghost, we have no explanation for why it looks like a shitty wrestler
That’s cause it hasn’t been officially revealed silly. Also, it aint no wrestler, don’t compare it to incineroar
The game has been hacked, we know all the text and Jack shit elaborates on it
Hm, well I guess that’s just how they do events now post gen 5 :/
Never said it was, I just find Marshadow blander
Also its our first robot Pokémon
What a crummy way to start off the idea of robots
Porygon is basically a robot though. It can download things.
Sure fam
It is though. It evolves using discs.
Literally Marshadow is generic af Ghost with arms, legs, and a shitty gimmick
The gimmick is magical
Though that is no longer the issue because a certain someone is back
It’s been done better like a thousand times before
Nah
Also, look above…. hes back
I don’t care (‘w’)/
Should we troll the troll?
Nah, don’t shot him attention
Okay
He’ll get a shitty dreamworks movie anyways
We don’t even know its gimmick yet. Magearna had nothing special either. QR event and then a dude handed it to us. No better than marshy
The shitty mask
But that’s its head
It changes in animation
It puts on a mask?
It’s very clearly intended to invoke that along with the type
I don’t see it. Looks more like it’s wearing a helmet.
It’s cute and spooky. Also unique typing and cool z-move. How can you not love it
EXACTLY!!! Say it again my boi
Because it’s a ghost type mythical of course it’s going to be ‘cute’ and ‘spooky’
Like its just too typical
What does that even meannnnn. Mythicals aren’t all cute anyway, look at the hideous gen 6 ones
(Hurling up intestines)
They’re all so ugly, I want to forget them. Mega Diancie should’ve just been regular diancie
Seriously
Also, the Diancie movie had a shopping scene…
Good thing I didn’t watch that shit
I wanted to bleach my eyes
‘Oh no, some women like shopping’
No but did it really need to be drawn on for that long?
It’s almost like little girls (and some boys, but were speaking about the more traditional Japan) like Pokémon too
I can see the reasoning but that whole movie was like that. I personally like my movies neutral to both sides
(I also prefer the air but that is irrelevant)
Dakrai, first one, and jirachi are the best ones
I love those
(Victini had a trash movie but Victini was adorable)
Keldeos is literally perfect meme material
Basically tho
“IM FRIENDS WITH THE GRASS!!!”
~Keldeo 2012
That movie was so bad
The horror, must claw eyes out
They’re designed to appear cute even if it doesn’t work the majority of the time
And it literally plays looks like what you’d expect a Ghost to look like
Not really. I don’t expect most ghosts to be small with red and green flames, have capes or arms and legs
Exactly
And to literally have anime fighting powers
I kinda want to see it based on type null and the Ultra Beasts
Where Gladion or another character of the week breaks into Aether Paradise and frees Type Null and they get separated and finds its way to the Pokemon School
Soon after they discover Type Null was a failed experiment
That would be legitimately cool
I could that being more of an anime plot.
I dunno (granted we’re barely 10 episodes in so anything can happen) but I really hope they give Ash a decent rival
Gladion is perfect
I want it to be for Marshadow, but i think its going to be about the box legendaries
(Cri)
New to the Nintendo 3DS!
In this new Pokemon adventure, join Lillie, a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need a man and her male minion Hau as they travel the new region of PClola. There, they must save their home from the evil white empire, Aether Foundation! Introducing Pokemon Anti-White Version and Pokemon Anti-Male Version!
Wait a second
Maybe the movie poster will show what some of the main cast will catch
Because if they don’t give at least some of the main characters other than Ash new Pokemon I’m gonna be pissed
Like I see Sophicles owning a Geodude that runs his machines, Mallow getting a Fomantis at some point, Kiawe Marowak has to be a thing and maybe Lana getting a Wishiwashi
But the only confirmed Pokemon is Pikachu, Rowlett and Litten for ash and Lillie is getting an Alolan Vulpix
I was about to be really confused as to why Sophocles would have a geodude and then I remember it has a shitty alolan form.
I was gonna say Chajabug but honestly Geodude never got any screentime in the show and this would make up
Besides they gotta push Alola forms at any opportunity
Unfortunately.
Nut forrm
When you state an opinion and the Marshadow Defense Squad (™) is on your ass
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9586ecf84023c24bfaa772139d069a1d2b31b0a09b700af257f6ed3be98f8017.gif
Hey, you can’t not expect people to react that way. Seraph has it as his avatar. You feel the same way when someone talks bad about fairy type, just sayinnnnn
What is a joke?
It’s called irony
I don’t see the irony.
I’m saying you guys get on my ass when I do the exact same
That’s the joke
Oh, I see
Glad I cleared that up ^^;
Exactly
Ultron speaks truth
Also saying ‘Fairy is OP’ isn’t an opinion but just sayin
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c11816a3ad0f0d9263492f98f3c3ad5fd878ed9adb32a54b2133f2be5d1e25dd.gif
Fairy isn’t necessarily OP, they just don’t often make good poison and steel offensive pokemon ¯_(ツ)_/¯ They clearly favor some types over others
Of course they’re going to favour a new type, it’s advertising
And at least they tried, it still doesn’t make it OP like people are crying
I didn’t really mean they’re favoring fairy, I just meant there’s a disparity of attention ( was mainly talking about ice type :P)
We have to man,
Legit no hard feelings though
Yeah this was just a joke, I know how I can get XD
XD
Marshadow is bae
I wish Zygarde Complete form didn’t have to be triggered by 1/2 HP. Also why did they make core enforcer a sp attacking move, ugh.
None of it makes sense
Just kind of annoying. I don’t think mixed Zygarde is as viable
Out of curiosity does perf zy get d DANCE?
Well 50% zygarde can have it too, you just need to find the core that can teach it to it
Thank GOD
Yeah it’s awesome
:3
I wish zygarde had a bigger role in the history :/
Yeah why did they build him up just to make it a fetch quest. Zygarde is one of the coolest legends in a while and they didn’t even give it prominence. I guess it’s just more of the gen 6 flop
i wish we could of battled it
Would’ve been way cooler.
could of gotten a remix probably too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Dc5eGu4R8
That’s super cool!
in sun and moon
Resolution cave already looked almost exactly like Terminus, they could have done something with that, but noooo
I know D: It didn’t even get a movie, just an anime arc.
Because Core enforcer is a massive lazerbeam of ultimate death?
They could’ve made it more physical looking :/ Like maybe it slashes a Z instead
Or it could have functioned as special while also dealing physical damage
Yeah! Or physical dealing sp damage would be cool too. Idk how it’d work though
Zygarde Complete form is so OP <3
And it looks incredible
Ability activates at 50%. Still broken.
Seriously the sheer bulk you get upon transforming is crazy.
Sub Coil is the best set.
Agreed
Plus, 50% is bulky and 10% is frail-they can both take advantage of it
What’s the best way to reduce EV’s in this game?
Get berries from the tree in Route 10 and plant them in Level 3 Isle Aplenny.
How much do berries lower them by?
10 apiece
So to get rid of all 252 of a single stat you need at least 26
Okay, luckily the Zygarde I constructed didn’t have too many already. I had only battled like 2 pokemon to test out moves.
You running physical or special?
Physical. Dragon dance is too good to pass up
Yeah, I’m probably going to run physical too, but I’ve still got quite a few cells to get. What moves are you using
Right now it has
Dragon Dance
Extreme Speed
Thousand Arrows (might replace with earthquake?)
Core Enforcer (Will replace with dragon tail or outrage)
Use EQ for max Damage, and a move for coverage
So EQ even though thousand arrows can hit flying types?
It depends on if you want that or just straight up damage and use the 4th slot for a move that can hit them
I wish it had dragonclaw. I guess it makes sense though cause it has no hands until it form changes
T arrrows is too good tho
Stick with Thousand Arrows. The utility in hitting Skarmory and Celesteela super effectively is too good to pass up in my opinion.
It will also deter fliers from switching in for free. Honestly I never realised how valuable an immunity to Ground Type moves is before using Thousand Arrows over Earthquake.
hmmm should i go for the shiny female salandit?
Good luck losing your sanity
Knowing your luck you’ll get it first sos call
I dont have luck
I’d say yes cause it looks too cool.
Acerola!!!!

MY FAVORITE TRAIL CAPTAIN https://68.media.tumblr.com/3d26fa060595576423fb3132708e62d3/tumblr_ogrj08dtDC1qioqevo2_r1_500.gif
THE BEST
The only human character in Pokemon to have a catlike mouth :3
YAAAAAAS!!! :3
She’s cute, although ilima is my favorite
…
What, he’s so nice
and kinda boring imo
Not really. I found all the akala ones disappointing.
How can u hate
“press a to pound”
(lies)
I taught a hiker to dance
(I am ded)
My favourite is Mina and yes i know she doesnt have a trial but still…
She’s always blazed
Nyrarg I give it a couple of weeks before they start making Nyan Nyan flashes with her
Can we talk about how Malie city is like the greatest pokemon city ever created?
why did Pokemon reupload the first two generation episode
Trivia question! Currently preparing a competitive Pokémon that’s causing me to fly between Mount Hokulani and Mount Lanakila several times.
Which Pokémon am I preparing?
Minior?
Nope! Already finished my Minior 🙂
Beldum
Nope! Here’s a hint: I keep going back to Mount Lanakila to exchange Heart Scales.
I have no idea lol
Smeargle! Mount H to get Ditto to transform into a Pokémon that has the move I want to Sketch (and only that move). Then I go to Mount L to relearn Sketch, and then repeat!
Sly dog :p
That would actually be a good nickname for Smeargle.
you know that the smeargle SOS method would be easier right?
Clefable
Out of genuine curiosity, who’d be interested in a tag team tournament?
I don’t trust people that much
Ehhh, maybe. What would the rules and restrictions be? Standard multi battle rules?
Yup!
To make it more fun, we could use the team we first beat the game with instead of competitive mons. See who made the best team, stuff like that
Sure! Your boi is here!
BOIII
Yoyoyo finally got my Steadfast Rockruff in a Fast Ball
What a waste
Lick my log cutter
Kiss my desecration kazoo
OMG XD
Another one of these:

You rarely see Pangoro with its paws not balled up in a fist
I am waiting for gen7.
Pangoro looks like a complete boss
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-497192857
Well
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpG1Ywmbioc
Komala is easily in the top 10 Pokémon of this gen competitively (besides Tapus and UBS)
Don’t @me
It’s design is meh though. Nothing special
But we did finally get a koala
I mean it’s support capabilities are actually insane…. that’s why it’s so good
I actually like its design.
It’s literally just a koala though, which is fine, but it’s not really doing it for me. I don’t see the pokemon aspect of it.
True, I think I like its simplicity. They didn’t over do it in my opinion.
I just wish it had another evo to make it a little more special but all well
If I was Earthern I would tell you how easily it dies to Close Clombat and how it’s a terrible Pokemon and you shouldn’t use it, and Rhyperior is the best…
XD
No seriously, it gets wish protect u-turn and Rapid spin:..
Yeh it’s got good Utility. Wish followed by a slow U-Turn is brilliant to heal up weakened Pokemon.
Yeah, if only it got more defense
Wish it had more HP to abuse Wish with
Nah, Earthen knows his fave is competitively shit
He’s a surprisingly good sport about it
Lol, I was just messing around.
And Rhyperior isn’t complete shit. It does well in the lower tiers as a wall and SR setter. This is why I like tiers so much, all Pokemon get a chance to shine (except PU shitmons)
Oh no, I was meaning from a completely OU/VGC standpoint, I the majority of fully evolved Mons tend to be good somewhere
Fair enough. I actually play like RU and NU quite a lot, so I like playing with Pokemon most people wouldn’t even think about using in OU/VGC.
They definitely seem very interesting! I’ll have to give them a go at some point
Each tier has a different theme and different play styles and things that are common, it’s very interesting.
When I get bored of the same repetitive stuff in OU I move to those tiers for a bit a change of pace.
OU is so bland nowadays
‘Oh look, a Celesteela. A Toxapex. A Mudsdale’
Yawn
Its not a surprise with that attack stat and ability
What new Pokemon do you like to add in Pokemon Stars? Here is a list that might be useful:
1. New fossil Pokemon that are native to Alola and are based on a velociraptor (Rock/Poison-type 2-stage) and a stegosaurus (Rock/Ground-type 2-stage).
2. There will be a third legendary Pokemon that will go with Solgaleo and Lunala (also evolves from Cosmog and Cosmoem)(4th if you count Necrozma).
3. More new Pokemon, including a new legendary trio with a base stat total of 580 and two more new Mythical Pokemon.
4. Drampa and Turtonator will get pre-evolutions.
5. Minior, Pyukumuku, Comfey, and Komala will get evolutions.
6. Pichu, Pikachu, Exeggcute, Cubone, Growlithe, and Arcanine will get Alolan forms.
7. There will be Alolan forms of some Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos Pokemon.
8. New Mega Evolutions
What Pokemon will be added to Pokemon Z (Generation 6.5)? Here is a list a list that might be useful:
1. 37 more new Pokemon, including two new legendary trios with base stat totals of 580 and 600 respectively, 1 new Mythical Pokemon with a base stat distribution of 100 (BST of 600), and 4 new legendary Pokemon with Central, Coastal, Mountain, and Southern Kalos Pokedex number of 000.
2. Southern Kalos Pokedex.
3. A few new Mega Evolutions
4. Zygarde 50% Forme, Zygarde 10% Forme, Zygarde Complete Forme, Zygarde Core, Zygarde Cell, and Ash-Greninja will make their appearance in Pokemon Z.
Komala evolution is terrifying…
If Pichu, Pikachu, Cubone and Exeggute were gonna get Alola Forms they would be got em by now
Scrap no.6, they won’t add Alola forms to those now. For Pikachu especially as it’s the mascot.
Everything else I’d be fine with from your Stars list.
I doubt Gen 6.5 will ever happen, if it does it will likely be as part of something else, akin to Kanto in Gen 2.
My Alolan Raichu can’t even 1HKO a Hariyama 20 levels lower than it -_-
Meanwhile my Metagross destroys Pokemon 20 levels higher than it.
;-;
Thats why magnezone is better
Slower and doesn’t have Focus Blast tho
Well… atleast it can 1HKO things
My Raichu has bad IVs tho
Like its not really meant to be compared to anything but other Raichu bc it’s in game
Also, Nasty Plot
But….Magnet Pull
That’s so situational in-game tho
It’s actually useless in-game considering no one ever switches anyway.
Still Magnezone > Raichu for in-game runs every time. Steel is a very useful typing for taking hits.
Actually I’ve noticed a bunch of switching in SuMo
Especially Hala
Meanwhile my Araquanid tanks hits and kills everything within a mile of it
At least A-Raichu is cute
Now if we were comparing Dewpider to A-Raichu, it’s the complete opposite. Rai beats it in every aspect except cuteness
