Rayquaza, More Gen III Pokémon Coming to GO!

by

Even more Pokémon native to the Hoenn region are coming to GO!

Starting tomorrow, several Dragon and Flying-Type Pokémon, including the Altaria, Salamence, Pelipper, Swellow and Metagross evolution lines will be catchable in the wild! The Flying/Dragon-type Legendary Rayquaza will also begun its stunt as a Legendary Raid Boss alongside Kyogre until March 16th.

In celebration of Rayquaza’s ascension, Generation III Pokémon will exclusively be taking over spawns worldwide until February 13th, Raid Bosses and Egg hatches will have some new additions, new special boxes – which include Raid Passes, Incubators, and Star Pieces – will be available in the in-game store until February 23rd, AND Lure Modules will run for six hours a pop in the same time frame.

Lots of exciting reasons to get out and GO this month – and this isn’t even counting the imminent Valentine’s Day event! I’m just excited that I’ll finally be able to catch one of my all time favorites, Altaria!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: If you could choose any Flying-type Pokémon to bring you wherever you need to go in real life which would you choose and why?

  3. I have to say Altaria as my IRL transportation ‘mon. It’s been my all time favorite Flying-type since the early 2000’s, it’s GORGEOUS, would look killer juxtaposed against the usual greys of the Pacific Northwest sky, and it’s cloud like feather look SO comfortable to sit on!

The only thing is that it’s barely four feet tall, so I’m not sure if it could handle all 6’1″, 180-ish pounds of me lmao

    Honorable mentions: Braviary, Tropius, Togekiss

  6. in regards of Ozzy’s question its not a matter of what pokemon that i’d ride more of what pokemon that CAN carry me
    i try to make everything extremely plausible regardless of logical limitations and base things in my day to day life and in regards of this question there is one gigantic limitation… I’m fat as phuck

    Given with my height and weight i easily outweigh and are theoretically bigger than most pokemon that aren’t themselves behemoths
    And for a pokemon of the flying variety to easily seat me and actually carry me boils down to three choices

    Braviary: Since they can carry a car in their talons mid flight
    Aerodactyl: My flying type of choice
    Golurk: Motherfuking Flying Robits

    now one thing that crossed my mind is using Mega Aerodactyl but i don’t think i shouldn’t do it out of morals “When it Mega Evolves, it becomes more vicious than ever before. Some say that’s because its excess of power is causing it pain.” as much as i like having the reigns of violent and vicious beast i still care for them not to put them through pain for my benefit

      • well i’ve pondered that, i wouldn’t be flying it bare back, i would devise a suitable Pokeride saddle

        some kind of foot-pad and handlebars that you’d tighten around his skirt and chest (Just above the shoulder blades)

  7. Hey does anyone know when the English dub of Sun and Moon comes back?

    I hate it how an entire arc has passed in Japan while the dub is at a stall since the Kanto episodes.

  8. So question for the people playing Virtual console games. I just found out the cloning glitch is in Crystal so I am probably going restart because I changed my mind on my starter. My question is if I use the clone glitch to clone the odd egg will I be able to transfer the clones to bank?

  9. Kay, I’m starting to recover from yesterday.

    Question, If you could stop the bad events from one video game from happening, which one would it be?
    Mine would be Hollow Knight because of the horrible things it did to the bugs.

  10. I freaking LOVE the new Pokemon anime intro. It’s so much fun while at the same time being intense with the UBs. So freaking cool. I definitely think Ash is gonna get a Passimian. It seems up his alley too. (Side note one day I’d like to use one) Anyway I’m interested to see where this new arc will go. I think given that the URS isn’t in it that they really did completely ignore them in this. That could change tho. Also I don’t think Ash will permanently catch Poipole if he even does catch it. I could see him getting it and then releasing it after it evolves into Naganadel. It’s for sure not going to Oaks lab. I think it’ll be interesting to see the intro update after Ash gets Torracat and other events happen. OH also a very cool thing to note is that Celesteela is shiny in the intro!! I hope it’s like that in the episode it appears in.

  14. I’m not one to talk about about my personal life, but I extremely despise some the kids in my English class.

    Apparently, as the whole class found out this morning, there was a rumor/gossip around a kid in our class (who transferred to our grade this year and he’s a well polite and kind individual) who had a gun, and it was started by this group of kids in that class who are bullying him. Like is really disgusting what they do, as they made rumors around my old girlfriend back in freshman year, completely disrespectful to everyone else in the class and the teacher, and now to this guy who is such a nice dude. I think he stood up to them, and now they’re doing some pretty nasty stuff to him like this rumor. And the teacher, who’s trying to figure out her teaching style in the class because she’s taking criticism from last Tri, has no idea how to handle it, and it just sucks and ticks me off to see it like that.

    Fortunately I approached the student counselor after when I found out, and he’s pretty great at solving problems students are facing or talking with jackass students. So I’ll see how it goes and I’ll check with the kid who’s getting bullied tomorrow.

    …Sorry guys I just needed to vent because it just really sucks for this kid and the class.

  18. Today, I had a really odd experience here. I commented something and it said something like your comment is waiting approve from Pokejungle Network. Then now I’m checking it, it is not even on comment section. This comment is somehow to check whether it is going to be published or not and also to ask what happened.

  20. I just realized that while I don’t know the full story, those videos @Monkeyfuzz posted are pretty depicting of the FedEx person Star was talking about. Jolly one minute and ordering death the next 🙃

  22. So I did what I said I was going to do earlier but I changed the plan a tiny bit! Chikorita is my starter but I used the cloning glitch to get Totodile too lol I used cyndaquil when I played gold last year so it only seemed fair to use them both in crystal! Plus I just couldn’t resist having my favorite water type on my team! Will catch phanpy in morning when I will hopefully not feel sick like I do right now. Anyway will post more later! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6586f71b7f785bcc295d38928c910ff33bdea834c5627102ed1d8c50305e27b1.jpg

  25. Had a bad time in Persona 5. I got stuck on this one mini boss that has three tough enemies. I entered without thinking of the fact that I was in no way equipped to handle this fight so had to head back to the save room that’s like a 5 minute wall away.

    I headed pack with the intention to just get a couple Personas before I left but fucked it up twice.

    Then I played some Overwatch with Seraph and a bit of Stardew Valley to come back.

    So I finally got the Personas I needed and even leveled up a bit. I bought some items and gear and headed back, beat the boss with little trouble and every single character leveled up and I was finally rewarded with another save room.

    That was amazingly satisfying
