Ho-Oh Now Available in Pokémon GO!

by

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. 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

    Pokemon Switch. . . I’m ready!

  8. Your hopes for the January Direct? Mine are:
    Metroid Prime 4 trailer and early 2019 release date
    Animal Crossing Switch for summer
    Pikmin 4 for late spring
    Smash Switch for Xmas
    And Maybe just maybe Overwatch Switch announcment for summer

    (probably not one of them will happen, but who cares)

    • Overwatch Switch is never happening, but if it somehow does it’ll be the worst port

      Smash Switch could be announced but it’s not coming out until 2019/2020

      Everything else I can kinda see coming.

    • Pokémon Switch Tease but that’s unlikely

      Pikmin 4

      Smash 4 Port

      Animal Crossing tease

      Kirby and Yoshi trailers

      Some fire emblem sh*t I don’t care about

      Segment about Nintendo Online and Virtual Console

      Nindies Showcase

      Overwatch Switch will never happen until Nintendo makes an online system on par with Xbox and PS4

    • Pokemon Switch
      Persona 5 Switch (Please make it happen)
      More info on SMT V
      Smash in some sort of form (Keeping my hopes for that not too high, but not too low)
      Fire Emblem Switch
      Potential Dragon Ball FighterZ Switch Port (They probably would’ve announced it by now, and since the game is about a month away from release, I doubt they’ll make one)
      Pokemon Spinoff on 3DS
      That’s about all I can think of

      Reply

    • FE Switch (pls show gameplay already)
      Smash Switch (unlikely but I can dream)
      Pokemon Switch (too soon but eh)
      Some more info on Octopath (including the real name seriously)

      But it’ll probably be another insightful ARMS direct

    • -Animal crossing for Switch Summer 2018
      -Smash Bros Switch or at least a port of the last
      -Pikmin 4 March 2018
      -Metroid Prime trailer
      -Netflix for Switch
      -Themes added for the Switch
      -Virtual Console for Switch for handheld games from the DS & 3DS. I want to play Silver and Gold on the Switch. Not the 3DS.
      -Mario Kart 9??

      • Well the only thing I counted as lucky is the first flinch, Seismitoad and or Hippowdon could’ve whittled any remaining HP (unless it was Jolly more than one occasion Seismitoad outspeeds Azumarill and gets a face full of sludge)

          • I know but still Garchomp survived a max attack stab huge powered aqua jet by the skin of his teeth

            Either an earthquake and rough skin would’ve picked up the KO if not I’d just let sandstorm get the last bit

          • Wait even with ZDrum putting him at 50 the attack regardless, iron head or earthquake would’ve done him over

  12. Seeing as the SuMo anime is in the middle of the SuMo game Climax, I think that Gen 8 is defo next year tbh. They haven’t even reached Ula’ula yet.

  15. 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.

  16. 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

  18. 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

  19. The trials in USUM have provided a nice challenge for me. I just finished the Electric trial, and the totem there really got me (especially considering I don’t have a ground type). I think the battle lasted a solid 20 mins of strategic plays.

      • I usually have one, I just didn’t really like any of the options I had (that I haven’t used already). I thought about using Mamoswine but I think it’s available after that trial

  20. 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?

  22. 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

    I need more ideas for this joke game

  23. Am i the only one who didn’t have too big of a problem with UNecrozma? I had a Primarina, although fairly higher levelled than my other Pokemon, and I took it out in 2 hits.

  24. Whelp I hate Ultra Warp Ride’s controls…… I tried once with the motion controls and that was excruciating. Then I decided to save before jumping in and see if you can fly back to Heahea to change it’s controls. You can and it made it better. Now maybe I just need to practice to get better. Even with the circle pad it wasn’t great. If it had a full stick it might have been better, but oh well.
