Celebrate Lunar New Year in GO!

by

Woof woof! Happy year of the dog!

From now until February 17th catching Eevee, Poochyena, Growlithe, Snubbull and Electrike will grant you bonus stardust, and reports of Shiny Poochyena are starting to pour in!

In addition, Team Rocket and Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt outfits, from the original games and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon respectively, are now available for purchase – each full outfit can be bought in pieces, but costs 950 PokeCoins total. Further more, due to server issues earlier today, the Valentine’s Day event has been extended until February 16th.

Sounds like the best time to get out an GO, wear your auspicious colors, and try your luck!

QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Which evil team, across all main and spin off games, has the best uniform?

    • You can search for bots to put on your server, but making them? That’s complicated and I’d suggest you to search a tutorial.

      Or more

  3. Decided to replace my Staravia with Togepi in Omicron. I’ve been grinding it up and I’ve been using Metronome for the fun of it while grinding, and so far Toegpi’s used moves like Judgement, Shadow Force (first move from Metronome actually), Water Shuriken, and Night Daze. It’s making the process of grinding it so much fun and hilarious

    Edit: And just now it used Fissure XD

  4. My Mom saw my fakekmon drawings:
    -What are these… Snowmen?
    -Not exactly, these are pokemon drawings, fan made pokemon
    *Reading the types* (remember that she’s Polish)
    -Ice… Psychic?… what?
    -These are the categories of pokemon… existing
    *I get up and leave*

  5. Well update for the Nuzlocke as I’m headed into Roxanne

    Celery (Treecko) lvl.15
    Dogwood (Poochyena) lvl.11
    Pineapple (Wingull) lvl.10
    Melon (Ralts) lvl.10
    Daisy (Dustox) lvl.10
    Shiitake (Shroomish) lvl.12

    Think I can win? Or will I be stuck with only Potatoe the Nincada to make a comeback?

  6. Question for Earthen:

    I’m going to use a Rhyhorn on my Omicron run, and I was wondering what’s a good moves that you typically do for a Rhyhorn on a run?

    • So I wanted to ask you a question regarding Rhyhorn. I’m going to use one in Omicron (it’s a rom hack) and I was wondering any suggestions you would have for its moveset? I’ve never used a Rhyhorn before and you’re basically the guru when it comes to Rhyperior.

  16. so out of sheer curiosity i want to study some bizarre pokemon biology to get a grasp of how some of these Pokemon could anatomically function

    And today’s subject is the original capsule monster: Rhydon

    I am very curious about how its horn can actually rotate a full 360 degrees with a fast enough RPMs to bore through solid bedrock

    how this could be implemented in a skeletal/muscular function, perhaps it has a series of bony discs that are twisted by muscular convulsions, similar to teeth of a gear

  17. Drawing of a Fakemon line I’m kinda proud of. They’re a group of 4 small Telekinetic Half-Frozen frogs that cover themselves in layers of Snow as camouflage. In battle Armyfrost throw each other at the enemy (with their psychic powers. Kinetice use the small one (that is their leader) as a weapon.

    • Was about to post this. I am shocked about it but very okay with it since I love the Mecha. Hopefully get to back to the one season format and drop the super seasons

  22. Stole this from 4chan again, this time it’s from the ‘script leaker’. He had a photo of a very convincing script tbf, so this sounds interesting and actually quite possible.

    >According to the translator, the translation team is almost halfway done their scripts with the last bunch of scripts dropping late March with their contracts likely being terminated by the Summer so the translator thinks a March announcement is likely and that a 2018 release is possible

    >The region name is Meania and the local food is Kottu which is described as being spicy

    >More on the region: The translations take place in a single location of the game the translator refers to as the “Green Area”. It is said to be huge and is the only place mentioned in this script (excluding shops and villages). Also the fact that there are 60,000 words that need translation in this part of the game suggests that exploration will be bigger than normal

    >The term “Big Island” is also mentioned which could hint at the region. It is unknown if it refers to a single big island (as in the whole region) or the biggest island in a group of islands like Alola
    >No game titles are mentioned, the project is just called Pokemon Switch (This isn’t really a relevant detail unless the game is literally called Pokemon Switch )

    >Within the area they translated, there are 17 (give or take) new Pokemon including the starters and a new Grass Pokemon (more on this below)

    >There will be a big fat Grass Pokemon that will be the “meme of the game”, and will be given a lot of meme-ish mentions. It is unlikely a regional variant of Snorlax

    >The starters are described in a very vague sense by some of the NPCs. One mentions that females will have bigger ears, another mentions that you can see the fire in its eyes, and then there is one that people are confused by because they are not sure if they are looking at its real face

    >There is a new way to “lengthen the logic of capture them all” (This part was translated) and they mention that it will be like Spinda logic but amplified and not just Spinda. This could mean we will get randomly generated Pokemon variants like Spinda with its patterns.
    >Customization is likely to return as it is alluded to in the script
    >A new Pokemon will have the move Will-O-Wisp (Possibly the fire starter)

    >Silvan is a mysterious jungle boy that will be a recurring character (who will likely have a big role in the game) who follows you around but runs away if you try and interact with him. He is definitely being manipulated/scared by someone evil and although it isn’t mentioned in the scripts, he may be related to some experiment relating to Pokemon and Humans

    >It looks like they introduced Halfway Stores where you can go to stay well furnished as you follow bigger exploration routes

    >There are 3 tutorials mentioned in the script which seem to be “triggers” for mini games which are detailed in other scripts (that they don’t have) which means this/these mini game(s) (They never specified it was 3 tutorials for 3 different mini games, or 3 tutorials for 1)

    >4 Moves are still mentioned in the game, however the translator believes something definitely will change when it comes to battling. A lot of NPC’s mention the “Arena” which is a place where trainers go to fight and a lot of players mention they want to go there because battles are more exciting there. Also there are special items that are said to affect the field when activated. These special items are exclusive to the Arena and cant be assigned to Pokemon. The translator says this whole Arena thing sounds like something fun and new but they have a feeling that it will be like a Battle Royale 2.0
