While such a ban on the short-form video hosting app would stand to upset millions of young fans, it would also disrupt an unlikely group of TikTok users: police departments. The new bill was introduced by Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, Republican Representative Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin and Democratic Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois. If passed, the legislation would ban “all transactions from any social media company in, or under the influence of, China, Russia, and several other foreign countries of concern,” according to a press release....

Bounsweet has flown under the radar in some regards, but it evolves into the queenly Pokemon Tsareena, which is a great grass-type option for the story mode and beyond. Pokemon Scarlet & Violet players would be well-served in adding this Pokemon to their team, but it’s easy to miss out on evolving Steenee.

Or, in some cases, items can actually harm the Pokemon that is holding them. This seems counterintuitive at first, but it can be a useful strategy for certain Pokemon. Here is how players can acquire themselves a Flame Orb to take advantage of these strategies.

Pokemon Sun and Moon and Pokemon Sword and Shield did shake up the Gym formula a bit by offering slightly different challenges, but Pokemon Scarlet and Violet seemingly reprise the original concept of Gym battles. In fact, a known Pokemon leaker by the name of Riddler Khu teased what sort of Pokemon types the Gym Leaders and Elite Four in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will specialize in, and it’s possible that new trailers released in the summer will confirm these bits of information....

First of all it’s time for a little set-up. You’re going to need a Pokemon with either False Swipe or Holdback, moves that will drop an enemy down to just 1HP instead of just knocking it out. It’s also best to have a non-damaging move for stalling. Next you’ll need the Adrenaline Orb, purchasable from Pokemon centres after you’ve completed Mallow’s trial in the Lush Jungle. After that, it’s just a matter of choosing which shiny Pokemon you want....

Much to the delight of Pokemon fans, however, one gamer known as Scorpob (with the texture expertise of Krakelak) has taken the liberty of modding a few of the franchise’s newer characters into the crossover-centric madness known as Smash Bros.. Previously helping to bring Sun and Moon’s Lillie and Cosmog to Smash, Scorpob doesn’t seem to be slowing down. This fan’s latest addition? None other than the Aether Foundation’s mysterious secretary, Wicke....

In the spirit of the holidays, Pokemon Sword and Shield are currently offering all trainers a free mystery gift until January 30 rolls around. The mystery gift in question is a sizeable 20 Battle Points that trainers can spend at the Battle Tower to help their competitive play.

Another surprise that hit fans was the announcement made a few days ago for a special New Year’s livestream from the Japanese Kibo Space Module at the International Space Station. While fans were only told to expect appearances of Pokemon live from space, no other details were revealed, and as the event has come and gone, it did hold one more surprise for Pokemon fans.

The same leaker who leaked Farfetch’d’s evolution and a bunch of other information about Pokemon Sword and Shield also revealed some information about the starter evolutions. According to the leaker, Scorbunny will be a pure fire-type Pokemon throughout its evolution line, and it will eventually evolve into a creature named Raboot. Even though Scorbunny will be a pure fire-type, it will apparently learn fighting-type moves and resemble a fighting-type Pokemon....

Pokemon Sword and Shield has had a steady stream of Mystery Gift Code available since launch. Some have been regional one-offs, whereas others have lasted for quite some time. These codes range from everything including apparel and Poke balls to Battle Points and more. Therefore, anyone who hasn’t claimed as many codes as they want may be looking for them all.

No information has been provided about the new Mythical Pokemon up to now. A single 30-second trailer has been released for the Pokemon: Coco movie and the only Pokemon shown in it was Pikachu. At least, Pikachu’s the only Pokemon seen at first glance. Some have speculated that the mysterious floating bubbles in the trailer could be related to the new Pokemon. Or at the very least that the jungle itself might be tacitly related, or could even imply it’s a Grass-type Pokemon....

The most famous Pokemon that will be returning to Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are the legendary Pokemon. Not every single one of them, but many legendary Pokemon from previous games will be returning in the Crown Tundra and can be caught during the DLC’s endgame.

Pokemon Trading Card Game Live will be available on quite a few platforms, including PC, Mac, and mobile devices, giving fans plenty of options on how to play. However, it’s extremely surprising to see no sign of a Switch version in the app’s announcement. Pokemon is a crucial part of the Nintendo brand, and the Switch is the ongoing hub for all things Nintendo, so it seems like the new trading card app and Nintendo’s console would go hand in hand....

According to the Pokemon website, Pokemon TCG packs will be increased in price from $3.99 to $4.49 moving forward, but new distributions will offer collectors better odds of drawing a rare. Since popular content creators like Twitch’s xQc and YouTube’s Logan Paul took a liking to the Pokemon TCG, products have seen a boom in popularity and scalping. The alterations coming to the Pokemon TCG may be a response to its success or another move to continue innovating on the formula, but regardless of the reasoning, it’s likely that the cards will remain relevant for the foreseeable future....
