Ho-Oh Now Available in Pokémon GO!

Another Legendary Pokémon is making its way to Pokémon GO!

Because of the hard work of all Pokémon GO players during the Pokémon GO Global Catch Challenge last week, Niantic is making Ho-Oh available in game! From now until December 12th you’ll be able to encounter and catch the Fire-type Legendary via Legendary Raid Battles!

Excited to add this fire turkey to your Pokédex? Which Pokémon do you have left to catch in GO?

  1. Eh, to be honest, I don’t really play Go that much anymore. I picked it up again for a little bit after they put out Johto pokemon but it just doesn’t excite me anymore. So even though it seems really cool to have all these legendaries it’s too little too late for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    • Same for me to be honest. Played for around a month when the game first came out, and played for another couple of weeks when Gen 2 Pokemon were released, but it’s not something I can commit to especially as I refuse to pay a penny for in-game purchases…

  2. So I had a sort of epiphany out of nowhere today for a really interesting game idea that takes advantage of the Switch exclusively, and I’m seriously considering following through with it. I don’t want to give anything away right now, but I’m calling it “Project Black Friday” because it was inspired by the whole insane shopping season. I don’t really know why I’m so enthusiastic about this but I wanted to say it here because I felt like it 😛 I’ll need to teach myself game design and all of that but I honestly think this could be a hit.

      • Wow, that sounds like so much fun…really it does! I can’t describe it so well yet, it combines elements of a lot of games I’ve played but is also its own thing. It’s a bit like Wall-E combined with Frankenstein, Rhythm Heaven, and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. I hope that doesn’t make sense.

  3. Don’t know if anyone has done this already but I made a list of the call rates for the new pokemon added to the alola dex:

    Note: if the first stage can be found wild and can call for help, I did not include its evolution/s in the list cause it’s clearly easier to hunt for the first stage.

    Heracross

  4. Fuuuuuuuuuuu I think I may have f’d myself………..So I am half way through the storming of Aether Paradise and decided to got back to get supplies at a Pokemon center just in case (yeah I know it ruins the mood lol) I flew away to a Pokemon center, but now I have no idea how to get back there……….I tried to fly back, but there’s no fly symbol……I tried to go to a dock but they all say that they’re down for maintenance………am I f’d or is there another way back?

  5. Whelp Lusamine wasn’t nearly as challenging as I thought she’d be. Guzma was much tougher. I’m not sure if you battle her later on like in SM, but Aether Paradise Lusamine went down pretty easily.

  6. Oh just to comment on the actual article I’m surprised it took them so long to introduce Ho-oh. You’d thing they’d have don it with the legendary beasts as they did Lugia with the birbs

  7. ok i keep seeing it online and nobody seems to want to answer when i ask. Where is everyone getting this idea that Nintendo is pressuring GF or TPCi to make a game in 2018?

    Reply
      • I truly hope it’s 2019. I don’t want another X and Y situation on our hands, as good as they were for the time they came out (I think most of the hype was due to the fact that they were the first 3DS Pokémon games), going back to them months later only showed how many flaws it had.

        Reply
    • According to a guy on the Easy Allies podcast, which is a popular gaming group that has feet in the gaming community, some of their sources have said that Nintendo is pushing for GF to make a disruptive kind of game the likes of how Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild are very different from their predecessors. The part about 2018 specifically comes from what appears to be the source of the original Rainbow Rocket leaks. According to a user on Bulbagarden named Lavandula(aka Pokesirena/JynxClub), who was the person who first translated the Chinese leaks from last year, the leaker of RR said that the Chinese team has done extensive translations on the new games. Apparently they are just about done with both the naming of the new Pokemon and translating the script of the game. At this point it’s all just rumors, but said rumors are coming from what appear to be reputable sources. Only time will tell, but I’d imagine if the game comes next year we’ll be hearing about it by the end of February. so not too much time is left.

      Reply
      • Plus then there’s that other rumor that had a bit of Nintendo info supposedly due for next year that also said Nintendo was pushing GF to make something different. And that was a separate rumor from the Easy Allies one so things are looking very likely for a Pokemon game next year. We’ll just have to see tho.

        Reply
    • I’ve been set on the idea of China for a while but India is also a good idea! Both of those would have really cool architecture and be a departure from what we’ve seen so far. As for starters, I’m still rooting for a fire snake, water buffalo and grass elephant!

      Reply
      • Ooh the architecture from both of those countries would be so nice to see in the switch game! Also really love those starters! Especially the grass elephant. There’s so much they can do with these games and it’s gonna be so fun to speculate.

        Reply
      • I just watched a what-if video on Greece as a Pokémon region, and there was so much lore to bring in to the story. Also the architecture from Greece is beautiful!

        Reply
          • Ooh that’s so cool that you’re from there! I’m sure it’d be nice to see it become a region! I would love a region based on Mexico! But for now I’ll just make a fan-made region based on it! Watching these what-if videos are inspiring me to start working on it again.

          • Coming up with my own ideas is also fun, even though I know there’s a slim chance they’ll ever come to fruition! The past few generations have had some unique settings, though.

          • I’m glad they started focusing on different parts of the world, it leads to more creativity and fun ideas! I saw a what-if video about Scandinavia and they had a regional variant for Honedge that was redesigned to look like Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir and it was sooooo cool! I really hope they keep regional variants as a thing, it was such a neat experience getting to see old Pokémon in a different light.

  8. I would be more excited for this if I didn’t live in the middle of freaking nowhere lol I managed to catch a farfetched before it’s distribution ended thankfully. On a random note I am curious of something. What is everyone’s favorite Pokémon when they were kids? And what is your favorite now that you are older? For me pikachu was easily my favorite as a kid thanks to the anime(still have a plush from when I was a kid). Fast forward years later and now it’s the treecko line(my first Pokémon)

    Reply
  9. Highkey want a UB spinoff game. I absolutely love the idea behind them & the fact they are not ”real” Pokemon gives GF the opportunity to use a totally different set of design standards and still have it justified in-universe.

      • *ANWSER TO BOTH YOU AND KURUSU*
        YIAY or Yesterday I Asked You is a series by the Youtuber John ”Jack” ”Jacksfilms” Douglass.It consists of Jack asking questions and picking anwsers from comments/Twitter that he thinks are the funniest. The series is now at episode 378. It isn’t as much content made by Jack as a collabiration of him and his viewers. Between YIAYs Jack makes a lot of diffrent kinds of his own content. Lately Jack has been working on a book based on the YIAY series, with questions he already used in the series and new anwsers made by him (with one viewer anwser per question). I want to get the book because I’ve been a fan of Jack’s videos for a long time and I feel that this is a good way to support him and get something funny to read.

  19. So I’m probably late with this but Naganadel got banned to Ubers.

    Never really had a problem with it, but then again I’ve been running Mega Tyranitar in OU for the Sand Boost for Stakataka, which incidently was also able to set up TR against a +2 Naganadel and counter sweep…

    Looking at a legend or mythical that doesn’t have its own signature move, give it one. It can also be upgraded into a Signature Z-Move if you so choose.

  22. This talk of legends and signature attacks makes me realize my legends don’t have them, just signature abilities

    Gaiasis has Tranquility which cures all status moves for everyone on the field when entering and prevents them from happening

    And Toxigeddon has Smog Zone: which when on the field all Pokemon are considered poisoned

    And the Elementals
    Infernhu
    Aquariart
    Skyeeto
    Eurthsa
    Have Primal Fury: which increases the power of same type moves

    Reply
      • I might tweak Primal Fury into an attack

        But essentially yeah, but a little worse. Especially Smog Zone, that potential means moves like Venom Drench Veno Shock and Facade will get their boosts

        And abilities like Guts, Poison Heal and Quick Feet will be active

        But the tranquility is basically a free aromatherapy or natural cure

        Reply
          • Yes when Gaiasis is on the field, any Pokemon currently battling will be cured of any status ailment and this prevents status effects from occurring, moves like Toxic, Wisp and TWave will automatically fail

    • Each of them are pure incarnations of natural elements (with a card suit theme)

      Infernhu is a white tiger with red stripes with a ♣️ on its tail, it’s body is superheated and will incinerate anyone with ease

      Aquariart is a large fish that has ♥️ shaped fins, it produces clean drinkable water inside its body and can replenish any lake or ocean

      Skyeeto is a magnificent eagle with a ♠️ on its head, it’s wings can create winds that can blow down forests with ease

      Eurthsa a golden polygonal bear with ♦️ claws, it’s body is composed of a clear see through crystal that cannot be scratched

    • I feel this kinda power would better plotted as a terrorist act

      If they have the legends under their control and can and will abuse their power to harm others if demands aren’t met could be a option

      I mean when you look at it
      Team Rocket: Steal and Sell, Force Evolution
      Magma/Aqua: Expand land or sea
      Galactic: Recreate the universe
      Plasma: “Liberate” Pokemon from trainers/Freeze Unova
      Flare: Unleash a weapon to destroy the world
      Skull: poser thugs
      Aether: Flood the world with ultra beasts

      None of them directly sought legendary power as a leverage against the public more just they would be harmed in the process

      My evil team, Team Quake are committing heinous acts to resurrect an ancient and destructive Pokemon that will cause widespread pollution and corruption

      Reply
      • Were they Destroying the World/Could they? I thought they were Just Nuking France. I also have the Idea that maybe awakening the two pokemon causes New pokemon to spawn(a la how Atlas has to Keep Ouranos and Gaea Apart or they Bang and More Titans Happen)

    Reply
      • I think they really could have made Lusamine more interesting, but they just needed to give a a reason to do what she did. In SM it was clear she was under the control of Nihilego, but in this I’m not sure what exactly drives her. I’m not done yet with the story as I’m on Exeggutor island, but it feels like there’s not much motivation for either Lusamine nor Lillie to do what they’re doing. I’d much rather have them flesh out the URS as characters and their backstory than see Lusamine doing something for ultimately no reason.

        Reply
          • It made way more sense when they fleshed out how she was being brainwashed by the UBs in SM. This time it’s just weird. Like they almost should have taken out the crazy tendencies from SM and just made her a normal mother. Giving Lillie and Gladion slightly different reasons to have ran away from Aether Paradise. Then once you reach the storming of AP make her do what she did for her kids sake or something. Rather than some weird obligation to save the world that was never really set up earlier and makes no sense. Her craziness was way more explainable in SM…….

  33. I have some ideas for new pokemon pre-evos/evos for current ones:

    Copichu – Pre-Evo form of Mimikyu.
    Type; Normal-Ghost
    This Pokemon has been rarely seen around, however many have claimed to see oddly beige Pichus around.

    Licky – Pre-evolutionary form of Lickitung
    Type: Normal
    Its tongue is twice the size of it, and is constantly hidden beneath it, only showing itself whenever it’s rewarded with a sweet treat.

    Phanteon – Ghost evolutionary form of Eevee
    Type: Ghost
    Its suspicious resemblance of Espeon’s eyes have made many wonder if it’s just a dead version of Espeon.

    Stinfusk – Evolutionary form of Stunfisk
    Ground-Electric
    Its paper-thin flatness allows it to enter through tiny cracks. This allows it to break into buildings.

  43. Hey guys, sorry for being absent lately. I’ve had a lonnngggg weak so far, I’m going through a bit of a rough patch (mainly getting t-boned in an accident. Everyone’s alright for the most part though). I beat US with Shiny Decidueye, Noivern (don’t reccomend. I like the Pokemon but he sucks until endgame), Kabutops (all star player), Ninetales, Vikavolt, and Arcanine. Had a lot of fun, but I understand the complaints. Gonna start on the dex soon, wasted 7 hours in ultra wormholes just to get shiny Heliolisk, the one I already have in gen 6.

    And Xenoblade 2 in 2 days! So that’s what’s going on with me, I’m super hyped but at the same time a little dissapointed since I know I won’t be able to play much this weekend. I want to get past the probably slow start.

  44. Honestly, I’d like it if a second final evolution for the Dratini line was added, one that actually resembled Dratini and Dragonair, because I don’t like Dragonite that much because of how random and out of nowhere he comes from when evolving Dragonair. Here’s what I’d like the new final eve to be:

    Name: Dragonaura
    Type: Water-Dragon
    Ability: Rough Skin
    Exclusive Move: Oceanic Roar
    Description; Dragonaura were found hidden under the depths of water. They’re rumoured to be Dragonair who adapted to oceanic life and became a naturally-formed evolution of Dragonair. Due to it s preference of living underwater, Dragonaura never gained any wings or limbs like Dragonite.

    I’d like it to have a white bushy V-Neck-like thing with a shiny blue orb there, with also white wings/furs on its tail facing outwards with a large blue orb on the end of it. Its head would have wings in the shape of a crown, and its eyes would become bigger and dark blue.

  46. Well damn Totem Kommo-o is a real main in the ass. Now I’ve gotta do some team training so that all my Pokemon are over leveled. Otherwise I’ll never be able to beat it. this is unexpected.That said my Dragon killer really has it’s hands or I should say claws full with Kommo-o. Alolan Sandslash is cool, but Kommo-o really does have a good secondary typing to ward off Ice types. Plus with Sandslash’s Steel type it makes it hard to get a move in edge wise (not a pun so don’t even) without it getting killed by Kommo-o. My Krookodile has Dragon Claw, but since it’s part Dark it’s also in danger Fighting type is really my teams one major weakness. The only thing that can stand up to fighting is my Decidueye, but that’s not much help when Kommo-o’s goons are there to keep it in check. Time for some team building and then we’ll tackle this challenge together!!!!

      • It’s the same. I mean I think the plot isn’t nearly as interesting because instead of just condensing the character building cutscenes they removed alot of them so it’s just not as strong.

        But yeah like. It’s fine.

        Reply
      • It’s an enjoyable game for sure. Yes much of it is similar/the same as SM, but overall the content is improved. The story is a little weird when it comes to stuff that carries over from SM, but the new stuff is great. Anyone that says new content in general is bad is out there. Even if you don’t like the photo club it’s still new content and that’s always an improvement.

  49. How in the world has the anime progressed so far in the general SM story without Ash having gone to Ula’ula? This season has been pretty good, but it lacks so much direction and they’ve been jumping around. It;s like they know they have limited time to do stuff so instead of keeping ti all in one cohesive story they decided to just jump around and see what works. All the while keeping Ash tethered to the school. Maybe the fact that he’s stuck going back and forth to the school is actually a good thing tho as if he was just running around Alola without much direction things would get messy real quick

    Reply
      • But that stuff is all stuff they can do relatively quickly as well. They’ve never had a problem getting the 3rd version content into the anime before without it being a mess so idk why now of all times. Maybe gen 8 really is coming out next year and they basically just said f&ck it and decided the anime can just be a weird and wild ride haha

    • It’s their fault for wasting episode slots on weird car racing and oddly animated baseball games, it was sort of coming to them for this mess of a rush of plot.

  50. Guys I just had a great idea for the next movie

    “Pokemon the movie: Zeraora the UB Hunter”
    Like maybe Zeraora’s home was ravaged by UB’s (most likely Guzzlord or Buzzwole) and its now on a mission to destroy them, but needs the help of Ash as it gets word that Ash knows Solgaleo (and possibly Lunala) so it first hunts down Ash to get in. After some filler it gets into Ultra Space, but maybe they wind up in the wrong one (maybe Xuriktree could stay movie bound) and after defeating it they then go through again more filler and wind in the right place and they defeat it, but before Zeraora delievers the fatal blow, Ash stops him and they spare its life and go home (or you add a better ending)

    As Zeraora does look like a Bounty Hunter like Pokémon so it fits.

    Also I believe the movie would have Xuriktree and Guzzlord only as I believe the anime will add Necrozma, Assembly, Burst, Adhesive (I guarentee this one), Aborption, Kartana Celesteelia and Beauty.

    So think it’s plausible for a movie?

    Reply
    • It could happen, though I imagine the main villain would need to be big. This is where I think Necrozma would be better saved for the movie but then the series is left without and forms would be rushed.

  51. OK! Totem Kommo-o is done and now I’m heading to the Altar. Kommo-o was MUCH harder than I expected it to be. even with all my Pokemon lvls 54/55 it still took out both my Decidueye and Krookodile. It nearly took out my Midnight Lycanroc, but it pulled through to take out the Scizor It summoned. Ended up not even using my Snadslash on it. Used Decidueye to land the hardest blow with it’s newly learned Brave Bird and then had Krookodile Dragon Claw it to death. Snadslash would have been the back up if those two couldn’t finish the job. All in all this game is proving to be much more of a challenge than past games have been and that’s actually a nice change of pace.

  52. I absolutely Love the new Pokemon Games!
    Must be so fun working on them…
    I still wouldn’t mind if they changed the games a lot in some way..
    In theory.. it could be like Breath of the Wild.. except exploring for Pokemon.
    I wouldn’t be against it.
    It has to change eventually or it won’t last nearly as long as they sound they want it to..
    Same as with the anime, they’ve learned

  56. Decided to change up one of my fakemon and give it a prevo
    Hyecub
    Dark/Ground
    The Raised Pokemon
    They’re usually under their mothers’ protection. Their mothers train them to become vicious predators.

    Evolves at level 27 into:

    Guffang
    Dark/Ground
    (Females and Males have separate dex entries)
    Female
    In large groups, they can take down large pokemon, or a Big group of smaller ones. They tear the Meat between each other, but always leave some for their Hyecubs.
    Male
    As soon as male Hyecub evolve they are thrown out by all the females. They have to travel alone and hunt to stay alive. They are very difficult to befriend. The only time they’re around females is during mating.

    Males and Females have also diffrent movepools and stats. Females have higher speed and HP and males have higher Defences. Females have the ability Group Attacker which boosts their attack in Double battles and Males have the ability Lone Hunter which boosts their attack in single battles and lowers it in double battles.

  57. I want to share a game I’m creating (well more the idea of it first as I can’t physically make the game)

    I want to give insight on my character who is the protagonist of the game

    Hamsterboy (A humanoid Hamster creature)

    His backstory starts like this:
    He once was a small little hamster on earth that lived out its days thinking there must be more life than just sitting in cage (note he’s normal now), but one stormy night a portal opened up and sucked him right out of his cage and sent him to [insert name of planet I haven’t named yet], but he woke up… Different, he grew (He’s about 2ft. 8in.), became Bipedial and can talk now

    He’s welcomed by a group of friendly new neighbors till soon after the whole adventure begins.

    *Note this is the beginning of the first game idea I had, he also gains wings and can glide a few games later and gains a Sword

    Reply
  58. HOLY CRAP the Necrozma battles were intense!!!! The first one it went down like a chump, but that second battle versus Ultra Necrozma was no joke. My heart was racing!!! I started out with Decidueye as he made short work of Dawn Wings earlier, but in one hit he was out……I then sent in my Krookodile who knows Dragon Claw and Foul Play. Once again taken out in one hit! Then came out Sandslash. Without Sandslash being able to take a few hits idk what I’d have done. Sandslash manged to get a hit on Necrozma, but it wasn’t nearly enough. I then used a revive on Decidueye in the hopes I could get a Sinister Arrow Raid off. Sandslash would then go down. I then switched into Decidueye again and successfully got It’s signature Z move off. Problem was that it didn’t kill Necrozma……Necrozma then hit Decidueye, but it held on to one HP!!!!! I was stunned!! My friend had held on for another turn. I decided to go for broke and use Spirit Shackle. Necrozma went first…..Just when I though it was over Decidueye held on once again to that single HP!!!!!!! He was able to fire one final arrow at Necrozma and the win was ours!!!!! Man that was an amazing battle. If Decidueye hadn’t put in some serious work I think I’d have had a much harder struggle! I’m not sure the rest of my team would have put up much of a fight against it. He’s my main man for a reason hahahaha

  60. Well now with my Open world idea *The game takes place as probably the 9th game in the series behind quite a few others*

    Something happens where Hamsterboy gets sucked back through a portal just like the one that brought him to his home, but he notices something wrong, being the fact that there are dozens of portals sending other creatures from his world coming out and he steps up to send them back to where ever they came.

    I also have made a few bosses thus far for it
    -Bloomy (The typical first big Boss who appears in almost every game) he’s basically a giant evil flower bud with thorny vines, his world is a terrarium
    -A sewer world with an evil Rat boss
    -A Magician boss who has a theater for his world
    -Solon (is a big Boss in the first game and appears in several others) he is a creature that looks like the sun and Weilder a sun and a moon staff, but here he is made of metal and has mini boss henchmen that resemble the planets plus an asteroid to take earth’s place. His world is a planetarium and maybe a school on top of that

    Well what’s your thoughts on the main gist and the few bosses so far?

  61. Since Kurusu is pitching non-Pokémon game ideas

    For a while I wanted to make a beat em up fighter game called “Bar Brawl”

    A hilarious cast of drunken idiots who had WAY too much to drink and got into a scuffle
    Your standard 1v1-4 where attacks lower heath and collectible brews that raise your “Tanked meter” where when full you unleash a special attack

    Dirk: your standard American beefy drunken frat who wields two mugs in each fist and his special is he equips a keg and slams it on the ground

    Reginald: tall lanky British guy who has high speed but low health, a single tankard and his special is some kinda “sonic rambling” attack

Even with the circle pad it wasn’t great. If it had a full stick it might have been better, but oh well.

  64. Hmm well it looks like no one looked at my game (the one after the bio), but that’s not the point

    I wanted to know if you did see it what you thought of Bloomy my first boss?

    His origin is, he was originally just a typical flower that lived in the first world of the first Hamsterboy game, but the evil antagonist to stop Hamsterboy panicked and poisoned (the antagonist has radioactive powers that poisons things) the poor flower turning him into a giant flower bud with an evil face

    I’ll give you a little description of his characteristics
    Eyes: Hazel
    His petals color tone is jam colored with magenta highlights (use this color thing for the colors) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/54fd76671641dd386ad4caccd716310fbc697fec4ee9aec432d07ab755480351.jpg
    Height: about 6ft. 5 inches
    Has forest green thorny vines he whips around to cause damage
    His common demeanor is very vengeful as unlike all the other villains that were cured after the events of the first game, instead his rage and hatred for being turned into a monster caused him to stay as a large flower bud.

  65. Kinda unrelated, but I don’t know what to think about the Live Action Mulan Remake (tho it’s much more a Reboot). On one hand, it has a good female director and an Asian cast and crew, with the Mulan actress being a chinese star (plus one ytber/actor I really like is almost for sure getting the main male role)… BUT the movie won’t have any songs and the Bisexual Li Shang is replaced with some new straight guy. Any of you have any opinions about all this?

Now I realize that dream was meant to help my mind cope with the stress of today! Sorry for the tangent, I just thought that was super fascinating.

I really want to shiny hunt for Stakataka, but if I do that then I’ll still need to trade the second one to get Blacephalon. If at all possible I’d like to keep a normal Stakataka as well as the shiny, but I’m not sure that’ll be possible. I’m not sure what I’ll have to offer that’s not Stakataka, but I’m not even there yet so it doesn’t matter at this point
