Flittle is tiny floating Pokemon that looks like it is wearing a dress or a skirt, and is referred to as the “Frill Pokemon.” Its Pokedex entry says it is a feisty Pokemon that will give chase if its berries are stolen. Psychic-type Pokemon are known for their strength, especially with Special attacks. It is definitely worth catching a Flittle and evolving it into its second evolution form Espathra to build a solid Pokemon team in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet....

Gastly’s first evolution sees it turn into Haunter, and this is achieved simply by leveling the Pokemon up enough. Unlike its first evolution, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players that want to evolve their Haunter into a Gengar to finish the Gastly evolution line will have to delve into the game’s trading system. RELATED: Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: How to Get More Pokemon Storage Boxes How To Evolve Gastly Getting Gastly to evolve into Haunter is fairly straightforward....

Maschiff is an adorable addition to the tradition of preliminary, common puppy Pokemon that includes Fidough, Lillipup, Yamper, Rockruff, and Growlithe through the various regions. But it is Maschiff’s cute scowl, which it puts on to scare its foes, that instead draws nearby children who can’t help but laugh. Maschiff’s short-legged design, with its golden tufts of hair, velvet-brown muzzle, and its triangle-button nose, makes it hard to pass up in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet....

What are pseudo-legendary Pokemon? A pseudo-legendary Pokemon is an unofficial term coined by fans. It refers to Pokemon that have three things: A three-stage evolution lineBase stat of exactly 600 before Mega Evolution1,250,000 experience at level 100 Sometimes, pseudo-legendary Pokemon are more powerful opponents to face than Legendary Pokemon because they have extremely high stats, which gives them more of a kick in battle.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet both launched on November 18, 2022, and were met with mixed reviews from critics. Several of the critiques of the games focused on the extremely poor performance in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, with many of the glitches being used as memes across the internet. Despite the mixed reception from reviewers, the games would become the biggest Nintendo launch of all time and sell over 10 million copies in the first three days....

It was a huge controversy when Pokemon Sword and Shield abandoned the National Pokedex, as it meant that not every Pokemon could be featured in the games. It’s likely that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will skip the National Dex as well, which means that some Pokemon simply won’t be featured in the new games. A recent post by CentroLeaks claims to reveal some of the Pokemon that fans apparently won’t be able to catch in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet....

During the recent Pokemon Direct, Game Freak also announced Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s release date, November 18. Those familiar with the popular monster-catching adventure game may have noticed that the date, or rather, the month, is a special one. RELATED: Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: Explaining the Themes of Each Game Pokemon and the Month of November While November 18 itself has only popped up once before, the release date of Pokemon Sun and Moon, Game Freak seems to have a soft spot for the month of November....

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s starter evolutions are a great example of this logic because their types may be similar to those of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, but they also bring something new to the table in many ways. An interesting pocket monster from Gen 9 is called Espathra, and it is an ostrich Pokemon presumably inspired by Cleopatra, and while it’s a pure Psychic-type, its base stats are good and so are the moves it learns throughout the game....

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Terastallization could be better than Mega Evolutions in the long run, and that’s because the Gen 6 gimmick was exclusive to a handful of pocket monsters, whereas the Terastal phenomenon can drastically change any Pokemon’s performance. This is because it’s a gimmick that can be used both offensively and defensively, as changing a Pokemon’s type can help deal STAB damage to opponents or prevent super effective damage from certain critters or moves....

In 2022, those hoping for Pokemon Squishmallows had their wish granted. The official Pokemon Squishmallow partnership was announced, with the first two plushies based on franchise mascot Pikachu and wildly popular Ghost-type Pokemon Gengar. The Pokemon Squishmallows, priced at $29.99 apiece, quickly sold out, though they are expected to come back in stock at some point in the near future. In the meantime, some Pokemon fans spotted Pikachu and Gengar Squishmallows at their local Walmart stores at much lower prices, but it appears they were put on the store floor by mistake....

In one of the most recent episodes of the Pokemon Sun and Moon anime, there’s a scene where a crowd gathers to watch Ash participate in a Pokemon battle. Eagle-eyed fan Aloladefender noticed that one of the people in the crowd is a little girl holding onto the strings of a Drifloon Pokemon. To most people, this would just look like a girl hold a balloon. But to Pokemon fans who know about Drifloon’s Pokedex entry, this scene actually has rather dark implications....

RELATED: Pokemon GO: Of The Rarest Shinies In The Mobile Game At first glance, Chansey’s evolution Blissey seems like an ordinary Normal-type with an abundance of wings. However, Blissey’s evolution from Chansey does come with some perks and unique traits. Having arrived in Sword and Shield with the Isle of Armor DLC, players can finally get their hands on a Blissey through their beloved Chanseys.

To evolve Milcery in Pokemon Sword and Shield, players need to give it a special item and then rotate their control stick in the Overworld. When done successfully, the Trainer will perform a dance and instantly trigger the Alcremie evolution. RELATED: Pokemon Sword and Shield: How to Evolve Darumaka into Darmanitan To note, Alcremie can transform into a number of different forms depending upon the time of day that the evolution is performed, the item it is holding, the direction that the control stick is rotated, and the length of time the stick is rotated for....

To note, while using a Pokemon Sword and Shield Mint will alter a Pokemon’s stats to be aligned with the Nature of a player’s choice, its original Nature will continue to be listed in the summary page. For example, a Lonely Pokemon that has been given a Modest Mint will have the stat growth and max of a Pokemon with a Modest Nature, but its summary will continue to list it as Lonely....

While it is exciting to see Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield introduce regional variants for legendary Pokemon, it could also mean that even more legendary Pokemon could also get new forms in the future. With many legendaries confirmed to return for the Crown Tundra DLC, there’s a lot of potential both then and down the road. RELATED: Pokemon Journeys Teases The Return of The Legendary Birds It is unknown if there will be any other DLC expansions for Pokemon Sword and Shield, but if there were, even more regional variants could be part of said DLC....
