Pokémon GO players will have more opportunities to catch the mighty Rayquaza, as well as another shot at catching Groudon and Kyogre, in the latest event from Niantic.
Now is the time to test your strength! Legendary Pokémon Kyogre and Groudon return to Raid Battles alongside Rayquaza for a limited time. Now is an excellent chance to finally catch all three ancient Legendary Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region!
Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza each have their own strengths and weaknesses, so challenging all three will take skill! Power up your strongest Pokémon, grab your friends, and head to nearby Gyms for a chance to battle and catch them from February 23 until March 5.
We’re in for some legendary battles, and the overall result will be exciting! If Rayquaza is defeated more than Kyogre and Groudon combined, Pokémon that typically prefer windy weather (for example, Bagon) are more likely to hatch from Eggs from March 5 to March 16. If not, Pokémon that prefer sunny or rainy weather (like Trapinch or Lotad) are more likely to hatch.
These battles will be tough, so we have new special boxes debuting on February 24, containing Raid Passes to help you prepare. Visit the in-game store to find out more.
Are you ready to face off against Hoenn’s legendary trio?
Final team member revealed!!!! Ran into it first thing today. Damn thing almost ran me out of all my poke balls. Started with 2 ultra balls 17 great balls and 17 pokeballs. Ended with only 6 pokeballs https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e4a6f406ef6619a6409f17525e3d364c9b5050ec6f4ef05ba010cb48bd597081.jpg
Heeeeeey I’m passing through the Ice Path so I can go get my own Skarmory to finish off my team as well. Then I’m gonna double back and kill Team Rocket once and for all.
Nice! Just remember you can’t catch it at night. I am shocked that I found one on my first try a few minutes ago lol
Yeah for now I’ll just be happy to get to Blackthorn so I have an access point to the route. If I don’t get ti today then I’ll get it tomorrow.
Your team is very close to mine – with the exception of Poli & Growl. I had Lanturn and Ariados instead!
Funny enough I did think about using both of those instead of the two you mentioned lol

Noice work man!
Thanks. Been enjoying this team a bit. They’ve been quite reliable. Just gotta get Skarmory up to date and they’ll be good for a little bit
It’s been pretty empty lately
Just wait. People will be back by Tuesday complaining that nothing was revealed on Pokemon day (I say secretly hoping I’m wrong……) Well anyway once we get the new movie trailer things should pick back up for a minute.
ARGHHH DIE YOU MINDLESS SACKS OF MEAT AND BLOOD, YOU SHALL BOW TO GREATAXE THE UNSLEWABLE!!!

In exactly one month, the final episode of Dragon Ball Super airs. And nobody knows when DB on tv is returning. I feel so depressed 🙁
At least we have the movie to look forward to
in december…
One thing that will piss me off is if the last episode just basically ignores everything that has happened up to this point and is just the last episode of Z all over again. The original ending of Z makes absolutely no sense now that they’ve met Beerus and Whis and have gone to other universes. Even if Goku still wanted to go train Uub why would the group lose touch with each other? Why would they have no reason to keep in contact? Why would all the other peeps from the other universe not still talk to the main cast. I mean didn’t Vegeta say he kind of wanted to go visit Cabba’s planet? None of it makes sense. So unless they retcon the entire ending of Z it’ll be crazy lame. Never been a huge fan of the end of Z to begin with so if they ignore all the great stuff in Super just to fit the ending I’ll be so over everything……
Saw someone talking about Verlisify on twitter so I looked up his feed and now my head hurts……Idk what I expected…….
What he do now?
Well I did it… I caught one and it technically is my third legit shiny in history (without mystery gifts or just being given to you) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/76334501596876bdfc7947a0c683d3c8db23470cbdd8778b8f71adaa7cda2764.png
Great shiny! Pretty strong too!
Thanks yours is good too
Ehh not so much…
But I care more about the collecting anyway
That’s awesome!!!

How is everyone either already got enough for Dragonite or have a Shiny one
I just like 6 today and its the first time I’ve found one
Lol I’m on a little day trip and dratini were EVERYWHERE! This place is also where I got my dragonite that was cp 74!
Body, arms and eyes fried…..Greataxe the unslewable has been slain, but the new crank op potatoes crossbows
I is sweat and tyed….. HONEY BADGERS
You really need to stop with that game…
It’s breaking you
Is this reality
Quickly get to the boss! You have 5 minutes remaining!
*Lies unconsciousness on the floor with sparks and smoke emanating from my charred eye sockets*
Quickly! Heal yourself!
The batteries on your wii mot-
Crashes
The difference between you and I is that you’re crazy about a few games and I’m not so crazy about a LOT of games. Pick your poison, or I guess you already have 😛
God, worst thing happened to me today. Some Klefki stole my keys while I was going back home! I got LOCKED OUT and it was 8 pm. I couldn’t reach my landlord, there was no locksmith open. I had to go to my friend’s house 🙁
I hate those sneaky fairies, I would like to live in a world without them. We know that UK passed a law to eradicate certain Pokemon species from streets and moving most to shelters or sanctuaries. I hope other countries will take some action on this too. I mean Klefki steling keys, OK no big deal but we shouldn’t forget about Scolipede breakout in Florida which ended up in several casualties.
Hope you’re safe and home now.
I will get my keys from my Landlord tomorrow morning . Currently staying at my friend’s house.
Don’t forget about the Toxapex invasion
That was a massacre, so many deaths
Tapu Lele is the only banned Tapu?? for real …..y god hate me?
uhhhhh because she’s EVIL
Slap on a choice scarf and it can blast anything to death with Psychic
Stab, Psychic Terrain and a solid 130 base SpAtk
i mean only Steel types can check it (unless it somehow carries HP Fighting or Ground)
Every Tapu r evil
Ok, the Crunchyroll Anime Awards is going on right now. It’s on Twitch is anyone wants to watch
So I just realized not only is Pokémonday in a few days but next Saturday is the one year Anniversary of the Nintendo Switch. We could get a big direct on that day or the day before. Not saying Pokémon would be in it but you never know. We shall see in the next few days I suppose.
I would be surprised if we didn’t have a general direct on the way. It feels like they meant to have one in January, but for some reason didn’t. I bet we get something in the next couple of weeks.
We will see I suppose. Wouldn’t shock me if one happened this week due to the Anniversary of the switch. Didn’t realize it until I saw it on YouTube. Honestly didn’t realize we were already in the last full week of February….
Yeah I could see that. That PixelPar guy asked last week if people thought we’d get a direct before Bayonetta came out or if we’d get one for the Switch anniversary. Obviously we didn’t get one last week so maybe a direct for the anniversary is the correct answer? I guess if there is one it’ll be on Thursday like usual.
Probably so. Hopefully we know for sure in a day or so.
I thought this could be a good thing to get us talking. https://mobile.twitter.com/Pokemon/status/967458999003119616/video/1
Where did everyone start their Pokémon journey? What was your first game? What starter did you pick? How old were you? For me my first Pokémon game was Ruby. I believe I was maybe 10-12. First Pokémon I picked was treecko and I have been hooked on the games ever since! I will note that I got into Pokémon during gnecone but didn’t have a gameboy until the gba sp
The order of my journeys
Hoenn- treecko
Kanto fire red- squirtle
Sinnoh diamond- all three
Jotho HGSS- Totodile
Unova white- oshawott
Unova Black 2- snivy
Kalos x- fennekin
Hoenn Omega ruby- treecko
Alola sun- rowlet
Next region we shall see once the games and starters are revealed!!!
I first started my journey on Pokemon Red. I got the game for my 9th birthday and my very first starter was a Charmander named Dragon.
Nice! Honestly if I had a gameboy kanto or Jotho would have most likely been my first journey! Couldn’t be happier though with hoenn being my first. So many cool Pokémon in that region! Treecko line flagon and absol to name a few!
Technically I guess my first game was Yellow. It was the first I owned anyway. Never got passed Brock haha Then a couple of years later my brother ended up giving me his copy of Silver. He had beaten the game and brought over all the Pokemon he had caught in his copy of Blue including Mewtwo which was his favorite. My sister borrowed the game and ended up saving over the game by accident. From that point on he’s had a hard time beating a Pokemon game ever since. Was basically the end for him, but on the flip side it was my reawakening for it. After getting Silver I played the crap out of it and that was the start of my love of Pokemon. 2002 was quite the year.
Oh and I picked Cyndaquil for my first starter. Which is why Typhlosion always has a space in my heart
It’s the same thing for me with treecko! Will probably always be my favorite Pokémon because of it! I will say turtwig and rowlet did come close to it thought when it comes to grass starters!
Mine was white
I was about 10ish
Oshawott was my main
I was in high school when black and And white came it lol Junior year I believe
Earthen was a Gameboy color/1990s babby and played the original Pokermon Red when I was….7? Or Six
Charmander was my very first one
Then it erased itself
Then stopped playing for a while
Then my mom bought me Sapphire as a present for a plane ride to Florida where I chose Torchic (This was my very first time playing a Pokémon game blind with no prior knowledge of any new Pokémon)
Then Pearl when I was I dunno what day did it come out and compare it to 1993 where I picked Chimchar
Then Black and my faithful Tepig
X broke the cycle of me using a Grass type Chespin
OR Mudkip
And finally Sun with Litten
So for the most part you have picked fire starters. Doesn’t shock me actually, I do love fire starters because it’s usually hard to find good fire types in the games sadly
That was always my thing, all of the other jerkbags in my youth picked water while I had Fire
Sounds like my former friends lol they always picked the one strong against me 😂
Oddly enough in my Mystery Dungeon career I was a Treecko
Then I chose to be a Turtwig in Sky, and in Super I was a Chespin
Although in GoI I was Tepig but that’s understandable but Snivy was my companion
If I remember correctly, Pokemon Emerald was my first game. I can’t remember the timeline because I also remember seeing FireRed at Target and really wanting to get it, so maybe I got that one first. Either way, it was around Christmas of 2005 and into 2006 that I really became involved (making me around 6 or 7). Those were great times. As a reminder, I’ll be 19 on March 10 which I don’t believe, and we’re approaching the EIGHTH GENERATION. Crazy stuff. Torchic is my original bro though, because my friend had picked Mudkip and we never wanted to match!
I know what you mean. I will be turning 25 on March 23rd and I can’t believe it lol and it is shocking we are approaching gen 8 as you said!
I was 11/12, I think? Emerald was the first game I played. A family friend’s kid lent me his game, it was really hard to get a hold of legit Pokémon games where I live. I remember getting upset I couldn’t get the Eon tickets and stuff. But Emerald was such a great game! Torchic is my forever main.
Nice! I remember when I got ruby. Went out of town to a mall and my dad told me I could pick out a game at GameStop to play on the way home. Needless to say I chose ruby ^.^
Lucky you! I had to wait like 1-2 years before I could play the latest games. My mom buys me the games since they cost a fortune in the Phils, and by then I had missed most of the event Pokémon. UM was the first game I bought with my own money. haha
How much are they there out of curiosity? Just curious lol
Um, I think about 2999-3500php and that’s mighty expensive for one game, which converts to 60-70 dollars. This is for SoulSilver. I don’t know how much they cost in the Phils now. Haha. I bought UM at about 179aed (I work abroad), so about 50 dollars. Lol. And Switch games here cost around 70-80 dollars.
And I thought it was bad that a used copy of Hgss being around fifty dollars now was bad lol
Ok, so Made In Abyss won Anime Of The Year
A follow up to Omega
Say you were to set off on journey and you could pick ANY Pokémon as your partner but they cannot evolve ergo Pokémon that don’t evolve who would you choose
Does that mean we could pick evolved forms of Pokemon?
Nope they are stand-alones aka things like Togedemaru, Pinsir, Farfetch’d
And you cannot pick ones that were stand-alones but gained an evolution
Like unsurprisingly I’d pick Heracross
Well if I could pick any Pokémon that couldn ever evolve I would say Aipom. Could be like pikachu is too ash. Not sure why but I just love that Pokémon for some reason.
Just saw it had to be a stand alone. This may take me a bit. Can they have mega evolutions?
That’s not technically evolving more of a form
In that case I would have to go with Absol or Sableye. Love both of those Pokémon. Not sure which I would pick if I had to choose though. Would be a tough choice
I begrudgingly say Sabeleye
I just feel like having a big Pokémon as a starter throws the experience off, it’s like starting out with a Dhelmise
I can agree there actually. Was kind of having the same thought. Was exactly why I chose aipom at first lol
Klefki
Underrated mon and would be OP and adorable at the same time
I would pick Seviper. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/741003a284d0fc5eee49f759d1fe260f97c726aafafdba78b213fd45b5c737f8.gif
Kewl snake
Best snake pokemon don’t @ me
Oh..you forgot to say “after Arbok” but no hard feelings we all make mistakes 😉
Absol would be a cool partner to have.
World blows up
Hmm Pokemon that can’t evolve huh? That’s an interesting one. honestly maybe either Dedenne or Heracross. Both have good typings and would be interesting to have around.
Technically heracross has an evolution… idk if that counts as a real evo though…
As earthen said below it’s basically a form since it’s only temp so I’d say it passes
I’d probably have to pick Plusle/Minun (either one works) or Tropius
Ugh nighttime itchiness!!!! Reminds me of bad nights of sleeping in my summer cabin in the woods and the family getting athletes food from walking barefoot everywhere
I mean scratching your arms or head that’s manageable but the feet is a different story especially if yours are just one gigantic callus
Eeeeeks
Just try to sleep and ignore the itches… itching only makes it worse
I wish I had one of those….mini rakes/wolverine claw tools for gardening mmmmmm that would scratch goood
and rip your flesh off…
Bah my skin is nothing but fat and muscle
Ergo naturally armored
Still will get ripped off…
It’ll just pass over
I’ve gone back to my old name. Also new profile pick
Are you the supertrashgame?
Also cool profile pic
yep supertrashgame is me
Nobody cares
