Pokemon.com even mentions a chance to catch a shiny Delibird! The promotion picture for this event shows more Pokemon not mentioned in the announcement, such as Chingling, Croagunk, and in the sky, Lake Trio: Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit, a trio of legendary Pokemon. This does not mean these exact Pokemon will also be released, but we wonder if the Lake Trio will be our next round of legendaries!

Keep your eyes out for the aforementioned bolded Pokemon in the table above, as they are either new gen 4 Pokemon, or can evolve into Gen 4 Pokemon at some point. We hope Mamoswine and Froslass will be available from Swinub and Snorunt (only female, in the main series) respectively after the start of this event! No sign of Glaceon though….! Happy bird hunting for the next few days, save your extra ones for the double transfer candy!!!

Quote:The latest episode of Pokemon the Series: Sun and Moon had Ash and Pikachu not only come face to face with the Ultra Beast Guzzlord, but the newest Legendary Pokemon Zeraora as well.

It didn't go quite as smoothly as fans hoped either as Ash and Pikachu battled against Zeraora and lost, but it seems there's a rematch on the horizon in the next episode.

The latest episode of the series had Ash and Pikachu come into the path of a raging Guzzlord, and a mysterious trainer named Dia and his Zeraora came by to save them. In order to earn Dia's trust, Ash challenges the two to a battle and Zeraora quickly defeats Pikachu. Though Pikachu does put up a good fight, Zeraora's attacks were too strong in the end.

The two seem to have a rematch as the preview for Episode 101 of the series, titled "Fire! The Twin Sparking Gigavolt of Friendship!," begins with Zeraora and Pikachu have a clash of Iron Tail and Close Combat in the sky once again, only it looks like Pikachu has the upper hand this time around.

Zeraora first made his debut in Pokemon: The Power of Us, and now fans are loving the fact that they are able to see this Legendary Pokemon in a new way. Especially now that Zeraora is soon going to do battle with an Ultra Beast.

If you haven't kept up with the current run of the anime, Pokemon the Series: Sun and Moon is described as such, "What starts as a summer vacation in the tropical Alola region turns into the next exciting chapter in Ash Ketchum’s quest to become a Pokémon Master! There’s plenty for Ash and Pikachu to explore in this sunny new region, with exciting new Pokémon to discover and interesting people to learn from along the way—including the cool Professor Kukui and the fun-loving Samson Oak.

Quote:A missing Pokemon is returning to Pokemon Go for the holidays.

A promotional email sent out by Pokemon Go earlier today confirmed that Delibird, the Ice-type "Present" Pokemon, will be returning to the game later this month. Delibird is the closest thing the Pokemon franchise has to a holiday mascot as the Pokemon sports a Santa Claus-like color scheme and tosses explosive presents from a sack attached to its back.

Delibird was one of Pokemon Go's first "problematic" Pokemon and wasn't added to the game until last December, months after nearly every other "Gen 2" Pokemon had been added to the game. The issue was likely two-fold; first, Delibird's signature "Present" move could both heal and damage opponent Pokemon and secondly, Pokemon Go likely wanted to keep the Pokemon for the holiday seasons.

While the Pokemon made an appearance last December, it disappeared at the conclusion of the holiday event and hasn't been seen since.

The confirmation that Delibird will be returning in the coming weeks was the first confirmation that Pokemon Go would be having a holiday event. Although it's not exactly a surprise (Pokemon Go has hosted events in both 2017 and 2018), the game has kept relatively quiet about event plans for the rest of the year. Instead, Pokemon Go has focused on announcing their new PvP battle feature, which will allow players to battle in 3 v 3 Pokemon battles for the very first time. This largely completes the list of original requests fans had for Pokemon Go and caps off a very busy and successful year for the mobile game.

2016's holiday event featured increased spawns of certain Pokemon, while last year's holiday event featured the addition of Water- and Ice-type Pokemon from the Hoenn region. Both events also included the release of special "Santa Hat" Pikachu, which will likely reappear as part of this year's event. We'll have more news about the upcoming holiday event when it's announced.

Quote:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate replaces the series' long-standing trophies with Spirits, collectible characters that can be equipped to augment your fighter's stats and abilities. The title features hundreds of Spirits drawn from a wide range of video game franchises, and while they're primarily unlocked through the World of Light and Spirit Board modes, you'll get a free one if you've played either of Switch's new Pokemon RPGs, Let's Go Pikachu or Let's Go Eevee.

Nintendo announced that players who have save data of either Pokemon game on their Switch will automatically receive a Pikachu or Eevee Spirit, depending on the version they've played. As you can see in the images below, each one is an Ace-level Support Spirit; Pikachu slightly increases attack and movement speed, while Eevee greatly increases attack, defense, and speed after eating food items.




Even if you don't own either Let's Go Pikachu or Eevee, you will still be able to unlock the Partner Pikachu and Eevee Spirits through normal gameplay, but this is a nice little bonus for players who've picked up the new Pokemon games. Nintendo did something similar for Super Smash Bros. Melee as well. Players who had save data of Pikmin on their memory card would unlock a special Captain Olimar trophy in Melee.

As previously mentioned, Spirits can be unlocked in the Spirit Board and the World of Light adventure mode. We recently went hands-on with both and felt they were a much more compelling single-player experience than what past titles had offered. We also tried out many of the game's new fighters such as Ken, Incineroar, and Isabelle; you can watch them in action here.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launches on December 7. If you buy a physical copy of the game, you'll need to install a day-one update for the game's replay system. Everyone who registers Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on My Nintendo by January 31, 2019 will also receive an additional surprise fighter, Piranha Plant, for free. Nintendo is also releasing five other as-yet unannounced DLC characters as part of the Fighters Pass.

Quote:

The next chapter for Niantic’s Pokémon Go involves borrowing another popular element from the game series’s main installments: battling. The new trainer battles feature has been a long time coming. It was first teased with the game’s announcement more than three years ago, and it’s taken the company quite a while to get it in working shape. Niantic released some new details about the feature last week on Twitter, but at a recent press event in San Francisco, the developer broke down exactly how the new battle system will work when it launches globally later this month.

Essentially, trainer battles will be quick, roughly four-minute bouts between you and another player using three pokémon each, with the opportunity to switch between the three mid-battle. A short timer determines how often you can rotate those fighters. The other big factor will be the new leagues, with the choice between the great, ultra, or master leagues that determine how powerful the creatures you use can be, which are measured by the combat power (CP) rating.

Niantic says you’ll be able to earn up to three rewards per day by battling other human trainers, and you can also use battles to progress toward in-game medals and train your pokémon to become stronger. One of the rarest rewards from battling will be the elusive Sinnoh Stone item, which can be used to evolve certain monsters into more powerful versions from the fourth generation of Pokémon games, support for which was added back in October. There will also be a training mode you can use freely throughout the day to practice and continue powering up your pokémon with no restrictions.

One big catch is that you’ll need to be physically in the same location as another person to battle them. Like with trading, gym battles, and the many other social and outdoor aspects of the game, trainer battles will require you to physically talk to the person you want to fight against. The way this restriction is imposed is by requiring that another person’s battle code is physically scanned. Only then can a league tier be chosen, ideally through verbal agreement, and an invite sent. (Niantic is careful to stress that battle codes can’t be digitally copied or scanned from a photo.)

The battles will involve similar mechanics to raid battles, in which a series of taps initiates your basic attack and fills up your charge attack meter. Niantic is adding a new element here where you can unlock a second charge attack and choose between them, with energy being drained from a shared meter.



Like in the main Pokémon games, type effectiveness — like a fire attack working better against a grass-type pokémon — is designed to be a huge factor, and it can swing battles in one direction rather quickly. It should also be noted that these are not turn-based battles like what most Pokémon fans might expect, but real-time ones. The few exceptions there are for brief pauses in the fight for charge attack animations and defensive shield items for blocking those charge attacks.

There is one workaround for remote battling that Niantic designed specifically for close friends and family. Unlike trading, which is a rather passive transaction, Niantic wants battling to be something you can do to stay in touch and engage with others, even over long distances. So if you’re an Ultra or Best Friend with another player, a designation that says you’ve been friends with that person for either 30 or 90 days, you’ll be able to initiate a remote battle.

Niantic says that when the feature launches sometime before the end of the year, it will start with players who are at the max level of 40. But as it brings more server infrastructure online to handle the load, battles will be brought to lower-level players incrementally, and Niantic doesn’t expect the rollout to take too long unless it hits some serious snags. Like with trading, Niantic is restricting the battling feature to users 13 years of age and older, which is in line with restrictions for nearly every game, social network, and similar online product due to the US’s online child privacy protections.

It’s easy to see the huge potential battling has for Pokémon Go. Niantic isn’t designing it at launch to be an ultra-competitive game mode, but the franchise contains a lot of built-in lore that could be used to make battling a core pillar. Niantic could launch a tournament series as seen in the anime, and it could also go so far as to have Elite Four standings, a fixture of the games in which the four best trainers from a fiction region are crowned and compete to keep their titles.

Niantic has no immediate plans to launch an official tournament series, the company says, and it’s going to gather player feedback before it decides to do anything formal. But because there is the existing Community Days events and the annual Go Fest gathering, Niantic says it’s “very much looking to seeing how trainers organize in the real world and create tournaments of their own within their local communities.”

Quote:One of the hardest, yet most rewarding trials in Pokemon Let’s Go is catching a shiny version of the legendary Psychic-type Mewtwo. The only tried-and-true method for obtaining the legendary’s shiny form is to spawn reset it, with most accounts taking as little as 40 resets up to a grand total of 4,000. Although this rigorous farming method isn’t for everyone, it’s the only way to guarantee a shiny encounter, but catching it is another story.

At the very least, that’s how it went for SUKnives, a streamer playing Pokemon Let’s Go. He was doing the aforementioned method in order to catch a shiny Mewtwo, which took him approximately 30 hours of spawn resetting. This also took a total of 1,765 resets before SUKnives encountered a shiny Mewtwo, but when the time to catch it came, SUKnives fell short on balls.

Of course, when the streamer ran out of Pokeballs, the shiny fled. SUKnives came to the encounter with approximately 100 Pokeballs, including 30-40 Great or Ultra Balls, which he thought would be enough. Check out the clip of the shiny Mewtwo fleeing here: https://www.twitch.tv/suknives/clip/Obes...&sort=time

As unfortunate as this is, SUKnives may have benefitted from going in with more Pokeballs. Alternatively, for those who have yet to pick up a Shiny Charm in Pokemon Let’s Go, it’s worth mentioning that it can be obtained prior to facing this Mewtwo (shiny or otherwise) if players transfer another Mewtwo from its mobile counterpart Pokemon GO.

That means those who wish to follow in SUKnives’ footprints successfully would increase their odds from about 1 in 4,000 to approximately 1 in 1,300. Of course, that doesn’t guarantee an encounter, but it definitely cuts back on the grind. Unfortunately, there isn’t another method to increase shiny spawns on legendaries that work on lesser Pokemon like the catch combos, so players will need to suffer through to get that shiny legendary.

Quote:Nintendo, alongside Pokémon development companies Creatures and Game Freak, has applied for a brand new trademark in Japan. The trademark is for 'ミラクルツイン', literally translating as 'Miracle Twin'.

According to JapaneseNintendo, the trademark is hoping to cover purposes including "controllers, joysticks, chargers, and parts and accessories for household video game machines, cards, toys and more". Interestingly, that list doesn't appear to relate specifically to video games or software, instead focusing more on hardware and physical toys.

Of course, any guesses at new products, services, or games that this trademark might relate to would be just that - guesses. It's impossible to know for sure what 'Miracle Twin' could be, but we're sure that won't stop you from speculating in the comments below. Here's a look at the trademark application itself:

Quote:There's a second Master Ball hidden away in Pokemon Let's Go, but finding it will take a bit of patience and whole lot of button pressing.

So you’ve obtained the Master Ball and you’re deciding on which Pokemon in Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee will make that ball its new home. Perhaps you’re stuck between Mewtwo and one of the Legendary Birds that’s really giving you trouble. Well what if there was a way to obtain a second Master Ball, thereby negating the need to make such a tough decision? Follow this guide and a second Master Ball will be yours.

First, you’ll need to have defeated the Elite Four and become the new Champion, so go become the top of the Pokemon world before attempting this. Once those folks are all taken care of, head on over to the Cerulean Cave where Mewtwo resides.

Down in the cave on the second floor, you’ll find patches of light on the ground that look like this:



Travel through the room, pressing A on the light patches until you pick up an item. Golden Razz Berries, other types of Poke Balls and Berries, and sometimes even fossils will appear, but eventually you’ll see the notification above and the second Master Ball will be yours. There’s nothing else to it, just searching light patches until you strike gold...or purple, in this case.

Unfortunately there’s no quicker way to do this, so farming the Cerulean Cave for that second Master Ball will take time, but it will pop up eventually for you to grab. Luckily it won’t be like the shiny Ponyta that took 17 hours to find, only for a Rattata to get in the way and ruin the whole thing.

Nintendo took advantage of Pokémon: Let’s Go! to release a new peripheral, the Poké Ball Plus, which works both with the Switch game and mobile game Pokémon Go. It’s more than just an accessory to connect Let’s Go! to Pokémon Go on mobile; it’s also a controller for Let’s Go!.

We’ve covered the transfer part of the process, which allows for sending Pokémon from the smartphone to the Switch. For this guide, we’re going to focus on the other functions of the Poké Ball Plus: how to play Let’s Go! with it on Switch, and how to use it to collect Pokémon, items and Candy on phones.


Connecting Poké Ball Plus to Pokémon: Let’s Go!

To play Pokémon: Let’s Go! with a Poké Ball Plus as your primary controller, you must first connect it to your Switch. (This is thankfully a much simpler process than hooking it up to your phone, which we’ll get into later.)

The first step is to make sure your Poké Ball Plus is charged. Once that’s done, you’ll have to connect it to your game. Open up Pokémon: Let’s Go! and head into the Options menu.



Once there, navigate to the “Open controller settings” menu. The game will present you with four different controller options: left Joy-Con, right Joy-Con, the two Joy-Con together and the Poké Ball Plus.

Press in the control stick on the Poké Ball Plus (the white one that juts out) to pair it with the Switch. Make sure that Bluetooth is on! If you’re successful, it will light up on-screen.

Playing Pokémon: Let’s Go! with the Poké Ball Plus

From there, you can start playing the game with the Poké Ball as your controller. That’s neither our favorite nor recommended option, but if you’d like to actually swing a Poké Ball toward the screen when facing down a wild Pokémon, this is how you do it.

Note that there are only two buttons on the Poké Ball Plus, which limits your access to several functions that you can get to with the Joy-Con. The center button is both the joystick and the A button; there’s a button on the top that serves as the B button.

To select options generally mapped to the Y button, shake the device.



You can also use the Poké Ball Plus to trade Pokémon from Go to Let’s Go!.

Connecting Poké Ball Plus to Pokémon Go

The Poké Ball Plus is perhaps more useful for Pokémon Go users, presuming they can get it to work properly.

Pairing the Poké Ball Plus with your smartphone may take some trial and error. With Bluetooth enabled, enter the main menu on Pokémon Go. From there, go into the Settings menu. You’ll see an option for Poké Ball Plus.

With your Poké Ball Plus in hand, click in the button on top of the accessory. This will allow your phone to find it. Then click the Poké Ball Plus option to initiate a pop-up that will ask to enable the Poké Ball Plus. The Poké Ball Plus icon on the main gameplay overworld will then illuminate to confirm that the game and device are paired.



What the LED lights on the Poké Ball Plus mean

You must have Pokémon Go open in the background to use the Poké Ball Plus. You don’t have to be actively playing the game, however. Instead, the device uses a series of lights to alert players to what’s going on in the game.



These are the lights to look for and what they mean when it comes to catching a Pokémon:

-- Three green lights: already owned nearby Pokémon; press the top button to capture
-- Three yellow lights: new nearby Pokémon; press the top button to capture
-- Up to three white lights: wild battle in progress
-- Three red lights: Pokémon ran away
-- Multi-colored lights: Pokémon captured

These lights show up for PokéStops:

-- Two blue lights: spin a nearby PokéStop
-- One red light: unable to spin
-- Multi-colored lights: items collected from PokéStop

Muting the Poké Ball Plus

You can’t mute the Poké Ball Plus’ sounds or disable its vibrations when playing Let’s Go!, but you can mute it when it’s connected to Pokémon Go. To do this, you have to hold the top button and control stick button at the same time. It will vibrate to indicate that the action was successful. Follow these same steps again to unmute it.

Shiny Pokemon Benefit?

With the hype surrounding shiny Pokemon you'd be forgiven if you assumed there was a statistical benefit to them. Put bluntly, there isn't.

Shiny Pokemon behave and perform exactly the same as their non-shiny counterparts. Their benefit comes through their scarcity.

The rarity of them makes them extremely coveted. This is primarily due to bragging rights and being a collector's item.

Shiny Hunting

Consequently, Pokemon Let's Go players have been putting in an incredible amount of hours trying to find them.

Some have found them without trying to whilst others have spent in excess of 10 hours trying to them with no luck. Understandably those who are trying so hard to find them are becoming frustrated.

Shiny Pokemon Increasing The Odds

The data mine before the Pokemon Let's Go release confirmed that catch combos increase the chance of a shiny spawn. Logically this is further increased when using a lure as more spawns are occurring.

Furthermore, the shiny charm, which is obtained after completing the game, will increase the chances further. We explain catch combos and the shiny charm in the link below.

Catch Combos

Catch combos, also referred to as chain count, unquestionably increase the chances of shiny Pokemon spawning. This has been proven in the code so it is a factor you can bank on.

However, there is a misconception whereby a lot of Pokemon trainers believe a catch combo of greater than 31, even beyond 100, increases the odds further. Whilst this isn't proven to be false there is no evidence to suggest it's true. Nevertheless, if shiny hunting make sure you are putting those catch combos together.

Shiny RAM

Increasing the odds of spawning a shiny Pokemon in Let's Go has been a hot topic all over the Pokemon community. One method that has come to light is the RAM method.

This is based on the premise that wild Pokemon reappear unless you encounter them. As a result you may be seeing the same Pokemon over and over. With that said there are two ways to remove these "repeat" Pokemon.

Encounter Wild Pokemon

If you encounter these Pokemon, and then run away, they will be removed from the spawn pool.
Reset RAM

More simply however, is to reset the RAM. This results in an entirely new pool of wild Pokemon being used. Changing routes or even going up/down a ladder apparently resets the RAM.

Catching Shiny Pokemon

There are two big differences between catch combos and this recently plugged RAM method. As stated above catch combos have proven to increase the chance of a shiny Pokemon spawning in the game code.

The RAM method makes sense also but is not proven. Even so given the simplicity of potentially resetting the RAM (leaving a route), it seems sensible to utilise this.

An interesting subplot to the validity of this theory is whether ignored shiny Pokemon respawn when ignoring them. Anecdotal evidence thus far suggests they don't respawn although this could easily be down to statistical variance.

They will be going out tomorrow!

Quote:We already had an idea Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee were performing well from the recent British sales charts, where the games (when combined) topped sales of all other titles last week. And this success appears to have been mirrored globally, as a whopping 3m units have been shifted in the first week since their release.

The news was shared via The Pokémon Company on Twitter (translated by Gematsu). It means the games have broken the record for the Switch's biggest launch to date.



Described as a hybrid of Pokémon's mainline games and Pokémon Go, Let's Go appears to be an attempt to bridge the gap between old and new Pokémon players. I mean this quite literally, as the easiest way for Pokémon Go players to get their hands on new Pokémon Meltan is to transfer their critters to the Switch game. With sales figures like these, it seems the crossover plan is going pretty well for The Pokémon Company. That must be a huge releevee.

If you’re anything like me, your Thanksgiving consists of some combination of the following: a lot of turkey; a lot of quiet, solitary introspection; a lot of gaming in my pajamas; a return to the aforementioned quiet, solitary introspection; and a lot of television, ranging from bad to mediocre in quality.

I hope you’re nothing like me, and that your holiday is very little like mine. But should any of this sound familiar, at least Twitch is swooping in to help us out on one level. The streaming platform will air the first five seasons of the Pokémon cartoon starting at 1 p.m. ET on Thursday, Nov. 22. The first portion of episodes will run until Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. ET, before picking up again on Dec. 24 for a Christmastime special. That will end on Jan. 3, 2019 (yikes).

The Twitch Presents channel will host the marathon, as it did in August. A similar Pokémon stream ran for several days and consisted of 936 episodes and 16 movies. This holiday mini-marathon will be a few hundred episodes shorter, but it’s still a much better way to while away those self-reflective hours than watching some dumb Thanksgiving-adjacent movie on Netflix.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I guess. Plus, if you’re an East Coast-er, you’ve gotta fill in those earlier hours of the day somehow.

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you’re grateful for your family, friends, and Twitch’s Pokémon marathon.

Pokemon Go Adventure Sync is a new addition to the Pokemon Go App. Earn Buddy Candy and hatch eggs even when the Pokemon Go app is turned off!

What is Pokemon Go Adventure Sync?

Adventure Sync is a new Pokemon Go feature that allows you to track distance traveled even when the app is turned off.

The primary benefit of this is to earn additional Pokemon Go rewards for walking about! Another benefit is you don't need the Pokemon Go app turned on, therefore saving battery.

How Does Adventure Sync Work?

The new Adventure Sync allows the app to connect to either the Apple Health or Google Fit apps. Of course installing one of these apps, depending on your phone's OS, is required.

Within their respective settings menu you'll be able to enable Pokemon Go Adventure Sync. Furthermore, push notifications can also be enabled which will tell you when your Pokemon Buddy has found a Candy or when an egg is about to hatch.

Adventure Sync Rewards

Adventure Sync rewards are calculated on a weekly basis. Anecdotal evidence suggests this is on a Monday morning.

The minimum distance you need to travel for a reward is 5km with the highest reward coming at 50km. Rewards are stacked on top of each other whereby if you earn the 25km reward then you will also receive the 5km reward on top of that. The Pokemon Go rewards are as follows:

-- 5km: 20 Poke Balls
-- 25km: 10 Great Balls + 500 Stardust or 1 Rare Candy or 1 5km Egg
-- 50km: 5 Ultra Balls + 1,500 Stardust or 3 Rare Candy or 1 5km Egg or 1 10km Egg



Pokemon Go Reward Tip

It is possible to get a 5km Egg as a reward even when you complete 50km! A lot of Pokemon Go players might feel this isn't a just reward for reaching the top tier.

The way to combat this is to leave no Egg slots open. Therefore, you will be rewarded with either the 1,500 Stardust or 3 Rare Candy.

Pokemon Go Adventure Sync Not Working?

There have been several reported issues with Pokemon Go Adventure Sync not working. We hope to resolve some of those here.

Adventure Sync Low Power / Power Saving Mode

Do not use your phone's low power/power saving mode feature as this may stop your phone from tracking your distance traveled.

Adventure Sync Speed Limit

Fancy going for a jog to get closer to those Adventure Sync rewards? Well, unless you're going for a slow jog then your distance traveled won't be recorded. The limit of 10.5 km/h still applies.

But Can I Use a Treadmill?

Yes, if the Pokemon Go app is completely closed then distance traveled on a treadmill will count towards the rewards.
