Due to the gameplay overhaul in Pokemon Go, ranking which Pokemon are the strongest or most powerful is different than in the main games. There are some pretty obvious ones, like Mewtwo still the most powerful of them all. In the main games, Pokemon are usually ranked according to their base stats and their overall […]
Bug-type Pokemon are, arguably, the least heralded Pokemon in the first-gen games, Pokemon Red and Blue. It also doesn’t help that one particular Bug-type is as notorious as the legendary Magikarp in the Useless Pokemon Department. That Pokemon is Metapod, a Pokemon forever attached to the move “Harden” in the same manner Magikarp is linked […]
The original Pokemon tracking system in Pokemon Go was serviceable at best. The unofficially called “footprints” tracking system did not point the exact location of Pokemon. But at least it showed whether you’re in the right direction or not – the footprints would increase or decrease to indicate if you’re getting nearer to the Pokemon […]
During the last couple of weeks, several reports indicated that Niantic was gearing up for the release of the second-gen Pokemon, introduced in Pokemon Gold and Silver more than a decade ago. Most notably, data-miners at The Silph Road found data in the game code referencing the second-gen Pokemon. There was also that infamous Starbucks […]
It won’t be long now before the much-anticipated second-gen Pokemon arrive in Pokemon Go. And you don’t even have to wait for Christmas to get your hands on Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, and the rest of the gang. According to rumors, the second-gen Pokemon will arrive next week. This means you will have 100 all-new Pokemon […]
There is no discussion which Pokemon is the weakest of them all – Magikarp takes the crown, and it’s not even close. The dumb-looking fish Pokemon has held that distinction ever since the first-gen games, although the most recent installments in the franchise, Pokemon Sun and Moon, have lessened Magikarp’s uselessness by making its signature […]
With the release of Pokemon Sun and Moon, the current official Pokedex now runs up to a whopping 802, which suddenly makes Pokemon Go an even smaller place than it already is. For the record, only 146 Pokemon are available in Pokemon Go, recently bumped from 145 after the elusive Ditto was finally released into […]
Psychic-type Pokemon are the “mage class” in Pokemon: offensive powerhouses with weak defenses. In the first-gen games, Pokemon Red and Blue, which the current Pokemon Go roster is based on, Psychic-types were considered the most dominant. It was all thanks to two Pokemon: the spoon-wielding Alakazam and the uber-powerful legendary Pokemon Mewtwo. Back then, the […]
The second generation of Pokemon is coming to Pokemon Go. Well, not officially yet, but rumors say that Niantic is gearing up for a huge December update which will add 100 all-new Pokemon to the game (along with player-vs-player battling and trading). Earlier this month, data-miners at The Silph Road discovered in the game code […]
Earlier this month, data-miners at The Silph Road discovered that the unique move “Transform” is now in the Pokemon Go game code. This led to speculation that Niantic is finally preparing to include Ditto in the game, four months after the game’s initial release. After all, Transform is Ditto’s signature move. In another more recent […]
