Pokemon Tera Raids act on a system where four players can come together to take down a Pokemon and capture it, with the caveat that its Terastallization form has the potential of carrying a type advantage unique to its current form. For example, a current event taking place in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet allows players to catch Eevees with a variety of different Tera Types for a limited time....
Free exploration in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been often advertised as a revolutionary system due to the fact that Gen 9 comes with three main storylines, meaning that players can hypothetically focus on any of them first, all at once, or even skip them entirely. The full experience is still intended to be that of finishing all three paths, but being able to explore the region with no boundaries and completing missions or objectives gradually is indeed a first for the series....
Though the Pokemon trailer came first this month, it left an indelible mark. New NPCs like the dual professors Sada and Turo have generated plenty of buzz (even if little is still known about Generation 9’s Iberian Peninsula-inspired region), meanwhile monsters like Lechonk and Smoliv have captured the hearts of fans. However, one of the most interesting points of discussion coming off Scarlet and Violet’s trailer is its box art Legendaries: Koraidon and Miraidon....
A new program, known as the Poke Finder, will be loaded into the player’s Rotom Dex, allowing trainers to take pictures of their favorite Pokemon at specific locations around Alola. Once a picture is taken, it will be evaluated and scored, with better pictures allowing the player access to new camera features such as the zoom function. One screenshot even seems to suggest that Nintendo will also be allowing Pokemon fans to share their best pictures online so as to be judged by other Sun and Moon players, though we don’t have confirmation of that at this point....
RELATED: Top 10 Starter Pokemon One of the crucial components is it being used a lot of the time, something many of the items on the list fall short on. It can be the most effective thing in the game but with such specific requirements needed to activate it, some of these become next to hopeless. That’s why it’s important to research the inventory before buying, making sure trainers aren’t left out on the battlefield with a bag full of blanks....
Despite Pokemon Sword and Shield 10GB file-size, players can expect the upcoming eighth-generation to be similar in size and length as other games in the franchise. Rather than having every Pokemon in the wild appear in the overworld, Pokemon Sword & Shield uses a combination of random encounters and the Wild Area to offer a unique experience. But what is the Wild Area and how does it work? RELATED: Pokemon Sword and Shield Devs Speak Out On National Dex Complaints...
One of the major features that has impacted every part of Pokemon Sword & Shield is Dynamax. Allowing Pokemon to grow to giant size and power, it is utilized heavily in the story. It has also given rise to the new Max Raids, which let players team up to take down a Dynamax’d Pokemon. These co-op raids add an element to Pokemon the series has never had before and opens new possibilities....
Pokemon Sword and Shield were a huge success among Switch users, and despite their controversial launch amidst criticism for not including a wider national Pokedex and not making the games fully open-world, Generation 8 was an incredible addition to the series. While it’s true that Pokemon Sword and Shield lacked many Pokemon on launch, they were quickly added with the release of the games’ two DLCs: Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra....
One detail that’s been confirmed since the event’s start is the reward for all Galar Beginnings competitors. Every single Pokemon Sword and Shield player that registered for the competition will be rewarded 50 Battle Points for their participation (at least 1 match). Considering how little BP is typically rewarded for climbing the Battle Tower, 50 BP is quite a lot. That doesn’t make the variety of items at the BP shop any cheaper, of course, but every BP helps....
Even though Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield released just days ago, hackers and modders are hard at work unpacking the game’s files and code. Already, several interesting developments have been discovered regarding Pokemon not currently in the game’s National Dex. This could suggest future implementation of these Pokemon, either as event Pokemon or something else entirely.

For years, Pokimane has been best-known as one of Twitch’s top female streamers (often going up against Amouranth), but she’s just announced that her two-year contract with the site has come to an end. This follows a pattern of her OfflineTV colleague and friend Disguised Toast, who left Facebook Gaming for Twitch after his own recent contract ending. Toast had teased his new contract ahead of its announcement, and likewise, Pokimane says that the “next chapter” will be revealed on February 8, hinting that she’s likely leaving Twitch rather than re-signing the contract....
These are the findings of a new Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) campus survey—an annual poll of tens of thousands of students with a goldmine of information on the demographics and political views of young Americans. What jumps out most from the survey is how important race, gender, religion and sexual identity is for their politics, and how unimportant their economic situation is. And because identity is more personal than economics, this suggests that political compromise will be even harder to achieve among the elite of tomorrow than it is today....

The arresting officer initially did not notice the presence of the young boy. After the officer placed the woman, identified as Claudia Patterson, in his squad car, he then discovered the 2-year-old in the backseat of the truck. The young boy was undetected at first because Patterson’s truck was reportedly in a state of disarray with items covering up the child.
