Watch the first episode of Pocket Monsters!

The new season of Pokémon, Pocket Monsters, has begun airing in Japan. The Pokémon Company has made the first episode available on YouTube, likely to spark more interest in the revamped format.

  1. Is there a factor in how many raids you get each day by default? I’ve been getting 3-4 each day, but I feel like that would be low.

Nickit has to be the absolute cutest lil fox ever… I’m obsessed with it.. which is why it crushes me that it has the absolute worst movepool and stats 🙁 … I guess I’ll wait for a regional form of it to come in the future lol anybody else feel like it should’ve been part ground type too?… the warm terra-cotta color

  3. The battle tower TM pricing is quite possibly extortion….
    850,000 for everything that’s like robbing at least a dozen royal coffers and a duchess’s suite

  4. Y’know, Dracovish has really grown on me, I just got it for my second playthrough of Shield, but it’s gonna need a bit of grinding to get it on level

  6. I really like the surprise trade feature; I just wish it didn’t take 5 minutes to search for a trade partner each time. I’m sending out a bunch of Stonjourner at the moment to hopefully make someone’s day, but this time is testing my charity lol

  7. Dreepy’s dex entry makes it sounds like a fossil pokemon.
    “After being reborn as a ghost Pokémon, Dreepy wanders the areas it used to inhabit back when it was alive in prehistoric seas.”

  8. I’m surprised that the evolution cutscene was shortened, but the egg hatching cutscene is still unnecessarily long. If anything, I appreciated the longer, more suspenseful evolutions.
