Pokémon Day Celebrations are HERE!

February 27th is ‘Pokémon Day’, but even though that’s technically tomorrow at the time of this post, it doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate early! Here are the events straight from the official press release (bolding mine):

  • Pikachu will lead the Pokémon Day celebration in Pokémon GO. From February 26, 1:00 pm PST, to March 6, 1:00pm PST, any Pikachu encountered in the wild will be wearing a festive party hat! The Pikachu caught during that time will keep its party hat, so be sure to look for this special Pikachu during its short time in the wild.
  • Pokémon Day marks the debut of the new Gallery Figures collection in the Pokémon Center. The first set includes awesome figures of Eevee, Mew, Magikarp, and Pikachu—each performing its signature attack. These figures were designed specifically for the Pokémon Center, so this is the first time anyone will be able to get their hands on them. Check out the Pokémon Gallery Figures collection in the Pokémon Center.
  • Starting on Pokémon Day, revisit some of the best big-screen moments of Ash and his friends with a movie marathon on Pokémon TV. For a limited time, watch the original classic Pokémon: The First Movie, as well as Pokémon 4Ever and Pokémon—Zoroark: Master of Illusions in their entirety. Remember that you can watch Pokémon TV on Pokemon.com and on the Pokémon TV mobile apps.
  • The Pokémon Trading Card Game Online is starting its Pokémon Day festivities early, with extra Trainer Tokens available on the Bonus Wheel for the entire week leading up to Pokémon Day. Then, be sure to log in to your game on Pokémon Day for an extra-special Daily Bonus. Remember that you can play the Pokémon TCG Online on your computer, iPad, or Android tablet. Battle today and through Pokémon Day for bigger rewards!
  • Don’t forget that right now you can head to your local participating GameStop store to get a Bottle Cap for your Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon video game. This item lets you boost the individual strength of one of your Pokémon’s stats via Hyper Training, making the Pokémon even more ready for your next big battle! Bottle Cap codes will be available at GameStop until March 5.
  • Pikachu lends its brilliant features to the new Pikachu Yellow Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL. This limited-edition New Nintendo 3DS XL is launching just a couple of days before Pokémon Day, and it’s sure to be popular, so check it out while you can. Visit the product page on Nintendo.com for more details.
  • If you’re looking for even more Pokémon animation fun for your Pokémon Day celebrations, you can find Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel on the iTunes Store, Google Play, and Amazon Video. Plus, check out a special Pokémon the Series: Gold & Silver TV episode bundle featuring Ash’s adventures throughout the Johto region. With this collection of episodes and the latest Pokémon movie, you’ll be ready to host the perfect Pokémon Day party!
  • Pokémon Day is a good reminder that big promotions are going on in Pokémon Shuffle, too. The popular Nintendo 3DS game is celebrating two years of challenging fans with puzzle fun. Take a look at the in-game notifications to get more details on these upcoming opportunities.
  • Head to Twitch.tv/Pokemon for an all-day celebration of Pokémon competitions, showing many of the most memorable matches from the Pokémon TCG, video games, and Pokkén Tournament from the past several years. See your favorite players from around the globe as we broadcast epic Championship battles, including some from recent Pokémon World Championships.

Anything you know you’ll be partaking in? I’ll be looking for Pikachu in Pokémon GO for sure!

  3. Can someone help me with a move set for my Durant? I don’t have Thunder fang, Superpower, or Hone Claws though..I was thinking:
    -Iron Head
    -X-Scissor
    -Rock Slide
    -Crunch/Return

    Crunch has 20% to lower defense, but Return has a better base power. Thoughts?

  10. I haven’t posted in a while about my Black run, but here it is:

    So I am now at the E4, my Pokemon are all mostly level 45 (save for Emboar who is 47), and its been going well. My team currently now includes a Galvantula, Sawsbuck, and a Beartic. I will say that this is a team I’m having so much fun using, partially because they are all very distinct from one another in moves they use and their power. This is the rundown of what the team is now:

    Emboar
    Level 47
    Modest Nature
    – Heat Crash
    – Flamethrower
    – Hammer Arm
    – Assurance

    Galvantula (Edison) w/ Scope Lens
    Level 45
    Gentle Nature
    – Signal Beam
    – Electroweb
    – Electro Ball
    – Slash

    Beartic (Sub-Zero) w/ Lucky Egg
    Level 45
    Modest Nature
    – Icicle Crash
    – Shadow Claw
    – Brine (really ought to replace with Surf)
    – Blizzard

    Seismetoad (Vibe) w/ Soft Sand
    Level 45
    Quirky Nature
    – Rain Dance
    – Surf
    – Bulldoze
    – Drain Punch

    Sawsbuck (I.G.B.Y.U. which stands for “I’m gonna buck you up”) w/ Miracle Seed
    Level 45
    Relaxed Nature
    – Leech Seed
    – Horn Leech
    – Jump Kick
    – Take Down

    Archeops w/ Sharp Beak
    Level 45
    Naughty Nature
    – Ancient Power
    – U-Turn
    – Fly
    – Dragon Breath

    Also, the reason why this run is taking a long time to complete is because some days I’ve just haven’t been playing as much as I used to from the start, yet you can expect this run to finish sometime this week though.

  11. So since Lillie is inevitably bound to show up as a trainer in a future game…do you think she’ll get a starter from Oak in Kanto?

  12. Even though I’m not including UBs in my region, I do have a couple that seem like cool ideas:

    UB-11: UB Haze
    Haziryro
    The Internal Fog Pokemon
    Type: Fire/Ice
    Ability: Beast Boost
    Height: 17′ 08″
    Weight: 76 lbs
    Stats:
    (HP) 58
    (ATK) 46
    (DEF) 87
    (SP ATK) 156
    (SP DEF) 134
    (SPD) 89
    Total: 570
    Entry: This Ultra Beast has been said to appear in the mountains. UB Haze/Haziryro has a “heart chamber” that is a crystal which is simultaneously -459 degrees Fahrenheit, and 900 degrees Fahrenheit. It pulses this energy around its body, specifically its arms mostly. The energy can be released at its arms, which it fires of beams of cold/hot energy, resulting in an explosion because of the swift. movement of temperatures It exerts an extremely dense fog-like gas in the area which spreads in a radius of 6 kilometers. None will be able to see in this gas, yet they will feel extreme heat and cold air at the same time. Exposure to such temperatures for over a week can cause fatal disorders in any life-forms immune system.

    UB-12: UB Morph
    Mutallize
    The Transmutation Pokemon
    Type: Steel
    Ability: Beast Boost
    Height: 10’00”
    Weight: 134 lbs
    Stats:
    (HP): 130
    (ATK): 123
    (DEF): 78
    (SP ATK): 123
    (SP DEF): 70
    (SPD): 46
    Entry: This Ultra Beast has been spotted in the sewers. It’s body is made up of a perticular liquid metal, which, by the control of its brain located on its head, can transform into whatever it desires. This profound ability makes it turn into people, Pokemon, buildings, weapons, and much more. It has been observed to morph into Pokemon, which is uses it blend in with the wild, make it very hard to locate. It’s “brain” is actually a gem in its head, which while it enables transformation, can also be a potential weak spot in battle…

    Thoughts?
