RELATED: Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: Type Effectiveness Chart (Pokemon Strengths & Weaknesses) All of the Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are capable of Terastallizing, though players will need to recharge the ability by visiting a Pokemon Center after each use.

More importantly, with the lack of information about which Pokemon are included in Gen 9, Game Freak is underserving Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans who want to build their teams beforehand. Version-exclusive Pokemon are also mostly left out of the equation despite Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s pre-orders being open for a long time now, which means that many fans won’t be able to make an informed decision about which game to pick....
The new Ice-types aren’t bad, though. Cetoddle is one of the cutest Pokemon ever made, and Baxcalibur is a fierce-looking pseudo-Legendary. Nevertheless, the shortage of new Ice-types makes players less likely to use this type and realize that it is not as defensively weak as it once was.

Eagle-eyed gamers have noticed concept art for Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon in the reveal trailer, which potentially hints at a tropical setting. Previous Pokemon games have been based on Japan, New York City, France, and more but there has been little exploration of purely tropical climates in the series. There are a few different pieces of evidence that point to Pokemon Sun and Moon having a tropical climate. For one, concept art seen in the video shows what appears to be a water gym....

Thanks to a recent update in Pokemon Home, Nintendo is getting ready to kick off a brand new Max Raid Battle event starting on June 2 and running basically the entire month to June 29.

Naturally, Pokemon Shield and Pokemon Sword will be getting a few different varieties from one another....
The Pokemon Company’s explanation for why the Pokemon Sword and Shield launch is “operational reasons,” but it hasn’t elaborated beyond that, which has fueled the speculation that the national Pokedex controversy has played a role. Now, it’s entirely possible that the Pokemon Sword and Shield national Pokedex controversy has nothing to do with The Pokemon Company’s reason to cancel the launch event, though it seems many have already accepted that narrative....
Aside from which Pokemon players should get, another important aspect of the game is which items to give the Pokemon to make them as strong as possible. On top of that, there are also ways to increase the Pokemon’s equipment before battle to give them an extra stat boost. RELATED: Is Pokemon Unite Free? However, there are quite a few steps involved, and it takes some back and forth navigating through menus....
When Pokemon Unite was first announced there were some who wondered about the IP dipping its toes into the MOBA realm. But a triumphant first half of season 1 of Pokemon Unite will come to an end on September 22, which is the same day that the game will be released on mobile devices. The achievement so far has been completely thanks to the Nintendo Switch player base. RELATED: Pokemon Unite Blastoise Glitch is Ruining Ranked Matches...
Pokemon Unite’s roster has continually grown since its launch, debuting with a group of 20 Pokemon for players to battle it out. TiMi Studios has featured monthly additions to the game’s roster with some months even featuring multiple new Pokemon hitting the battlefield.

This was one of the biggest sticking points highlighted in Game Rant’s review of Pokken Tournament, but it looks as if Nintendo and developer Bandai Namco plan on addressing this qualm – at least, within the arcade version of the game. Apparently a brand new Pokemon character will be joining the fray for arcade-goers in Japan, as the title receives a major update to incorporate three previously Wii U-exclusive fighters (Garchomp, Braixen, and Shadow Mewtwo) later this July....

The poll, conducted by Barna Group, surveyed 2,007 adults of all demographics in early February and, though Biden had only been in office a few weeks, the current occupant of the White House still cracked the Top 10 with 4 percent calling him their favorite president in history.

“Horrifying news. Feeling very sick right now. Let him be OK,” Rowling tweeted Friday in reaction to Rushdie’s attack. The author then received a reply from a Twitter account under the name “Meer Asif Asiz” that read: “Don’t worry you are next.” Newsweek was unable to independently verify the validity of the account, but the tweet seems to have been deleted by Sunday morning. “We have received a report of an online threat being made and officers are carrying out enquiries,” a Police Scotland spokesperson said, according to The Guardian....
It has been a rocky few years for the franchise, but Pokemon’s failures can be used for the benefit of others. Ni no Kuni draws some obvious similarities to the juggernaut, and as a third game had been rumored for a while, it’s in a prime position to capitalize on Pokemon’s mistakes. Ni no Kuni 2 was a significant departure from the first in terms of story and combat, but the prominence of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch over its successor is evident....
Starting with live action footage of a detective investigating a dark building, the buildup to Scarlet and Violet was mysterious.
