Pokemon GO implemented a ton of exciting changes in the last few days including everything from new Lure Modules to the long-rumored release of Glaceon and Leafeon. In the midst of new items and new steps towards a complete Pokedex, it may have been easy to overlook the addition of an exciting new move, as well. Pokemon GO players now have access to the popular Ground-type move Earth Power for certain new sinnoh region Pokemon. That’s not all though. A few existing Ground-type creatures are also gaining access to the powerful PvP charge move. Earth Power is a strong attack that can be used to lower the opponent’s defense in Trainer Battles. It should be a pretty relevant ability and actually have a significant impact on the metagame.“Certain Pokémon recently arrived from the Sinnoh region will know Earth Power. Other Pokémon that could know Earth Power include Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Aerodactyl, Camerupt, and Claydol.” With tons of shiny … [Read more...] about Pokemon GO Adds Earth Power Move For Some Ground-Types

Pokemon GO: Does the Name Trick Work for Glaceon and Leafeon?
Pokemon GO saw one of its biggest Gen 4 updates recently, adding not only new Pokemon and evolutions, but brand new Lure Modules as well. Pokemon GO players can use these Lure Modules to get some of the game’s most anticipated Pokemon, including the Eeveelutions Glaceon and Leafeon. However, there is another way to get Glaceon and Leafeon in Pokemon GO. Past Eeveelutions in Pokemon GO have let players use a “name trick” to be guaranteed a certain Eeveelution, with the names coming from the Pokemon anime. For example, if players want their Eevee to evolve to Flareon, they can nickname it “Pyro.” Alternatively, if they want their Eevee to evolve to Vaporeon, they can nickname it “Rainer,” and so on and so forth. Despite players being able to guarantee themselves a Glaceon or Leafeon using Lure Modules, they can also use the name trick to get them as well. Please note that the name trick will only work the first … [Read more...] about Pokemon GO: Does the Name Trick Work for Glaceon and Leafeon?
Pokemon GO: What Is A Complete Pokedex?
With an endless game like Pokemon GO, each type of player has their own goals and idea of endgame content. Some players care about hitting max level, some want 100% IV raiding rosters, while others may just want to complete their Pokedex. With the frequent release of new and exciting generations and creatures, that last one can be a bit of a moving target. Pokemon GO recently set a few new Pokemon lose in the wild, including new evolutions for Eevee. These all take the complete Pokedex number a bit higher and offer new opportunities for trainers to add entries to their collections. Currently, the max Pokedex available (as of May 20, 2019) is 485. In order to fill in all of those spots, players either need to do some traveling or some well coordinated trading.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Every Eevee Evolution (May 2019)
Eevee and its many evolutions are some of the most popular creatures in the Pokemon franchise. Pokemon GO players have been waiting on the edge of their seats for the release of Glaceon and Leafeon and, thanks to the new lure modules, the time has finally come to expands out Eevee evolution collections. Much like previous Eevee evolutions, the two new ones can be obtained via a few methods in Pokemon GO. There’s a name change trick, the use of one of the new lure modules, and the option to just roll the dice on a random evolution.

Remember to keep in mind that the name change trick will only work once for each evolution. Make sure you use that guaranteed method on a high IV Eevee that you have particular plans for. For the buddy trick, make sure that the Eevee is still your buddy when you do the evolution.Vaporeon … [Read more...] about Pokemon GO: How To Get Every Eevee Evolution (May 2019)
