The three starters for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet includes the grass-type feline Sprigatito, the dapper water-type duck Quaxly, and the crocodile-like fire-type Fuecoco. Since their reveal, these three starter Pokemon have had plenty of fan art come out on their shiny versions and evolutions. Recently, a fan shared their take on one of the starter Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, specifically, Fuecoco. RELATED: Pokemon Fan Art Imagines What Fuecoco’s Shiny Version Will Look Like...

Tera Raid Battles are special events where players can fight and try to capture Pokemon with special abilities. Any trainer can take part in standard Tera Raid Battles, as long as they reached the first Pokemon Center located in Los Platos, a small settlement in the South of the Paldea region. Each Tera Raid Battle in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet sees four trainers fighting against a wild Terastallized Pokemon whose power depends on the star rating of the raid, with seven stars being the current maximum in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet....

The Tera Raid event for Cinderace concludes after New Year’s Day for this round. But, the event will repeat in two weeks for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players to have another chance at catching Cinderace. After defeating and catching a Cinderace via the seven-star Tera Raid battles, players can then obtain Scorbunny and Raboot via Egg hatching and evolution respectively. This is the only way that Scorbunny and Raboot can be obtained in the ninth generation of Pokemon games at the time of writing....

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are the beginning of the ninth generation of Pokemon games, which was released this weekend. In them, players will explore the Paldea region both far and wide for new and returning species of Pokemon to catch, train, raise, and battle with as they uncover the region’s open-world map and the challenges and mysteries that lay in wait.

Shiny pocket monsters can be spotted in the overworld of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, making finding them a bit easier in the franchise’s current generation. Despite this, it is still a good feeling when spotting one of the rare creatures in the wild. One player was able to encounter a Shiny in a very epic spot in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s world.

The official Pokemon Scarlet and Violet website reveals even more details about Grafaiai, confirming that it is a “moody Pokemon” that likes to be alone. It’s categorized as a Poison/Normal-type Pokemon with the abilities Unburden and Poison Touch. The previously mentioned graffiti gimmick is tied to its poison saliva, as it licks its hands to cover them in poisonous gunk, that it then uses to paint trees. Grafaiai’s saliva attracts bug Pokemon, paralyzing them for it to eat....

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet launched with players knowing very little about what Gen 9 had to offer as a whole, and the bulk of details about the games actually came from leaks for those who kept up with them. For example, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s version exclusives were not fully revealed ahead of launch, aside from things like Professor Sada and Turo being bound to their respective copies, as well as the new critters called Armarouge and Ceruledge....

The latent Tera type can be any of the standing 18 Pokemon types in the series. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s emphasis on Terastallization is great for team variety and versatility while battling, as trainers can Terastallize their Pokemon for offensive or defensive purposes, strategically changing their type on the spot. However, there are some instances where the Terastal phenomenon can cause problems due to any Pokemon being allowed to have any type....

Since Special Delivery cards are so rare, they are sought after by many Pokemon TCG collectors. Thus, it’s perhaps not surprising that many people have taken to eBay and other sites to sell their rare cards and codes. And these cards aren’t cheap either, with some sellers asking $150 or more for the collectible cards.

Though it may not initially seem all that noteworthy, this accomplishment marks the very first instance in which the games’ community has secured a win in a worldwide event since its launch in November 2016. It wasn’t for lack of difficulty or an all-around easier target to hit, however. Players were tasked with trading 1 million Pokemon in just 14 days, utilizing the games’ Global Trade System (or GTS). Not only did these determined fans reach their goal, they did it in record time, hitting the impressive milestone in 4 short days....

The final three episode titles are “Conclusion! Gaogaen VS Nyaheat!!”, “Alola’s Strongest Z! Kapu-Kokeko VS Pikachu!!”, and “The Sun, the Moon, and Everyone’s Dreams!” The summary for the final episode of the Pokemon Sun and Moon anime series teases that Ash will be coming to a “decision” - presumably to leave the Alola region and resume his adventures in the Galar region, where brand new Pokemon will await.

With just a seven-minute Nintendo Direct, however, fans shouldn’t be expecting Nintendo to overshare. That’s just long enough for a short introduction celebrating the state of Pokemon in 2018, a trailer, and an outro message from The Pokemon Company or one of Nintendo’s executives. Nintendo managed a similarly long announcement for Pokemon Sun and Moon in 2016. However, if that Nintendo Direct is any indication, there’s very little beyond basic information that be shared in such a short time....

For one day only, the weather in the Wild Area in both Pokemon Sword and Shield will remain as Snowing. This is the weather that will be spread across the entire Wild Area for the entire day. On a typical day, the weather in the Wild Area will be different as players journey from map section to section. Snowing weather gives access to weather-exclusive Pokemon spawns, which include Galarian Mr....

Pokemon Sword and Shield have had a ton of giveaways for rare Pokemon. Players recently got a code for a shiny Amoonguss that was based off of a competition entry. The Alolan fan favorite Zeraora was given away, as well as the new legendary Zarude. For Dynamax Crystals, Larvitar and Jangmo-o were given away in the double pack versions of the games. For this giveaway, players just need to use the Pokemon Pass app on their phones at a GameStop to get the code....

While Sword and Shield were the latest entries in an extensive lineage that changed the Pokemon series’ core gameplay, one tradition that fans anticipated but was never delivered is a new Eeveelution. Eevee and its many evolutions were not only included in Sword and Shield, but the base Pokemon even got its own Gigantimax form. Still, the games missed a major opportunity to introduce new Eeveelutions based on more unused typings....

The Pokemon franchise is synonymous with Nintendo, and after the many games that have been released on various Nintendo consoles, gamers have grown quite familiar with the basic structure of Pokemon games. However, with the seventh generation of Pokemon, things were changed quite dramatically, leading to a novel experience that reinvigorated the franchise and introduced plenty more gamers to the world of Pokemon. Thanks to Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon, the Nintendo 3DS received the epic send-off it deserved....

Players can level up against wild Pokemon and battle the opponent to their heart’s content, but they will inevitably lose if they let the other team score more than they do. The only way to ensure that the opponent doesn’t accumulate a high score is by learning how to block a goal. It’s hard to determine the current score during a match using the scoreboard alone, so the safest bet is to always make sure a solid defense is in place....

Previously it was confirmed that the game would be arriving in Japan on what has turned out to be the exact same day, so it’s nice to see that Nintendo is giving fans across North America and Europe the chance to play Pokken Tournament at the same time. This isn’t all that surprising, considering that The Pokemon Company has taken up the habit of releasing its core RPG installments simultaneously across the globe, but it’s a nice piece of news anyway that dedicated fans will appreciate....

These days, though, Master talks of selling his pigs. Two cows are already gone, and a whole way of life may soon follow. The reason: Poland’s new membership in the European Union. Suddenly, the pressure is on to adopt the same industrial-scale agriculture that has transformed the country’s affluent Western neighbors. And that, in turn, could signal the gradual disappearance of a centuries-old way of life for tens of thousands of Poland’s peasant farmers....

Premier League Team of the Season The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) announced on Thursday that the number of clubs referenced in the UK-wide probe now stands at 148 - an increase of 60 since figures were last published on December 9. The indicative number of victims has reached 429, ranging in age from four to 20 at the time of the alleged offence, with the “vast majority” relating to football....
