What is the Lunar New Year 2022 event in Pokémon Go?

To celebrate the Lunar New Year, Pokémon Go hosts an event each year which includes an influx of red Pokémon, as well as Pokémon related to the new Chinese Zodiac animal. This year is the year of the tiger, so feline Pokémon will be joining the rest of the red Pokémon in spawns, eggs, and raids.

It may only be September, but Pokémon Go is already gearing up for Halloween, and to get the spooky celebration started, October’s Community Day will feature Duskull, the Requiem Pokémon. From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time on Saturday, October 9, 2021, players will have the chance to catch tons of this Ghost-type Pokemon. Any Dusclops evolved into Dusknoir on Community Day will know the event exclusive move, Shadow Ball – easily the most powerful Ghost-type move in the game!

As has been the norm since the pandemic, the event will last six hours instead of three and will include special Snapshot Surprises featuring Duskull. The PokéShop will offer a free bundle of 30 Ultra Balls; a single box of 50 Ultra Balls, four Incense, four Star Pieces, and an Elite Charged TM for 1,280 PokéCoins; and a paid special search story, Nothin’ Dull about Duskull for US$1 or the local equivalent. Additionally, since Dusknoir requires a Sinnoh Stone to evolve, players will be able to earn up to four Sinnoh Stones by completing a free Timed Research line.

Other October Community Day bonuses will include:

Pokémon Go: Legendary Raid Hours

0

In Pokémon Go, Legendary Raids are still available at some Gyms, but once a week they take up virtually all Gyms for an entire hour. These Legendary Raid Hours offer players a chance to reunite with a team and face multiple current Legendary Raid Bosses in one go. How do they work and what do they currently offer? Read ahead to find out, and don’t forget to check out our best Pokémon Go accessories so you can be fully equipped on your Pokémon adventure!

What are Legendary Raid Hours in Pokémon Go?

A feature originally introduced in June 2019, Legendary Raid Times is a weekly event where virtually all Gyms are taken over by the current Legendary Raid Boss. Unlike normal raids, these raids last all the time. These are still legendary raids, meaning they require multiple players, so players are encouraged to team up for the hour so they can move from gym to gym until they’ve used up their raid passes or the hour is up. If it’s not safe in your area to coordinate with a squad, you can still participate using Remote Raid Passes and an Online Squad.

When are the next Legendary Raid Hours in Pokémon Go?

The legendary raid times are every Wednesday evening from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time.

The legendary raid times for January will be on the following dates:

Pokémon Go: Genesect Guide | iMore

Recherche spéciale Pokemon Go GenesectSource : Niantic

Genesect revient dans les raids légendaires dans Pokémon Go et cette fois avec un nouveau formulaire Drive. Heureusement, chez iMore, nous avons tout ce que vous devez savoir pour lutter contre Genesect. Et n’oubliez pas de jeter un œil à nos meilleurs accessoires Pokémon Go afin d’être entièrement équipé pour votre aventure Pokémon !

Qui est Genesect dans Pokémon Go ?

Pokemon 649 Genesect

Source : La société Pokémon

Pokémon mythique ressuscité à partir d’un fossile, Genesect a été introduit dans l’ère moderne par les scientifiques travaillant pour la tristement célèbre Team Plasma. Ces scientifiques ne se contentaient pas de ressusciter un Pokémon éteint depuis 300 millions d’années ; ils ont également ajouté des “améliorations” technologiques au Pokémon Mythique. Ces modifications incluent un canon sur le dos qui peut abriter différents types de lecteurs. Dans les jeux de base, ces Drive changent le type de son mouvement de signature : Techno Blast.

Dans Pokémon Go, les Drive de Genesect modifient également le typage de Techno Blast; Cependant, cela ne s’est généralement pas bien déroulé pour Genesect. Dans presque tous les cas, il est préférable de l’utiliser en tant que type de bogue. Cela ne veut pas dire que les joueurs ne devraient pas se concentrer sur ce raid. Genesect est toujours un excellent Pokémon de type Bug, et à moins de quelques types Mega Bug et Shadow Bug, il restera le premier type de Bug dans Pokémon Go jusqu’à ce que Volcarona et le type Bug Ultra Beasts soient introduits.

Quels sont les meilleurs compteurs pour Genesect dans Pokémon Go ?

En tant que Pokémon de type Insecte et Acier, Genesect n’a qu’une faiblesse mais c’est une grosse. Genesect subit des dégâts quadruples des attaques de type Feu. Cette fois, nous affronterons Genesect avec son moteur Shock, ce qui signifie qu’il est capable d’infliger des dégâts de type Bug, Steel et Electric. Mega Evolution n’est pas nécessaire pour gagner ce combat, mais cela accélère certainement la bataille.

Méga Dracaufeu Y

Pokemon 006 Mega Dracaufeu Y

Source : La société Pokémon

Surclassant tous les autres Pokémon de la liste, Mega Charizard Y a été pratiquement conçu pour faire fondre Genesect. En tant que type Feu et Vol, il subit des dégâts réduits des mouvements de type Acier et Insecte. Bien qu’il soit faible face aux dégâts de type électrique, son encombrement massif signifie que ce n’est toujours pas une menace. Cela augmentera également tous vos autres compteurs de type Feu, mais comme les types Feu sont les seuls meilleurs compteurs de ce raid, vous n’aurez pas besoin de vous coordonner avec le reste de votre groupe de raid. Tour de Feu et Brûlure sont les ensembles de mouvements idéaux pour tout Dracaufeu que vous apportez à ce combat.

Méga Dracaufeu X

Pokemon 006 Mega Dracaufeu X

Source : La société Pokémon

Bien qu’il soit en retard sur Mega Charizard Y, Mega Charizard X fait également un travail rapide de Genesect. En tant que type Feu et Dragon, il subit des dégâts réduits de tous les mouvements de Shock Drive Genesect. Alors que Mega Charizard Y devrait être prioritaire, si vous avez déjà un Mega Charizard X prêt à partir, vous voudrez qu’il sache Tour de Feu et Brûlure.

Reshiram

Pokemon 643 Reshiram

Source : La société Pokémon

Le type Legendary Fire and Dragon, Reshiram est un autre excellent compteur pour Genesect, infligeant plus de dégâts que même Mega Houndoom. En tant que type Dragon et Feu, il est résistant aux dégâts de type Insecte, Acier et Électrique, il durera donc longtemps dans ce combat. Reshiram n’a eu que deux courses dans les raids jusqu’à présent, les deux pendant une pandémie mondiale, vous n’avez donc peut-être pas les bonbons nécessaires pour l’alimenter. Cependant, si vous le faites, vous voudrez Croc de feu et Surchauffer pour le moveset de votre Reshiram.

Mega Houndoom

Pokemon 229 Houndoom Mega

Source : La société Pokémon

Si vous n’avez pas assez de Mega Energy pour balancer un Mega Charizard, Mega Houndoom se comporte très bien dans ce Raid. En tant que type Ténèbres et Feu, il résiste aux dégâts de type Acier et n’a aucune faiblesse que Genesect peut exploiter. Si vous apportez Mega Houndoom à ce raid, vous voudrez qu’il sache Croc de feu et Lance-flammes.

Darmanitan

Pokemon 555 Darmanitan

Source : La société Pokémon

Darmanitan est un Pokémon assez unique découvert pour la première fois dans la région d’Unova. Il a une variante régionale et plusieurs formes, mais le type de feu d’origine est celui que vous voudrez combattre contre Genesect. Il résiste aux attaques de type Acier et Bug, et n’a aucune faiblesse que Genesect est capable d’exploiter. Il est également très accessible, avec sa première étape, Darumaka étant assez commun et ne nécessitant que 50 bonbons pour évoluer complètement. Si vous amenez Darmanitan à ce raid, vous voudrez qu’il sache Croc de feu et Surchauffer.

Lustre

Pokemon 609 Chandeleur

Source : La société Pokémon

De type Feu et Fantôme, Chandelure est également un excellent compteur pour Genesect et bien plus accessible que Reshiram ou les compteurs Mega. Avec son moveet de type Feu, Tour de Feu et Surchauffer, et ses résistances de type Bug et Steel, si vous avez Chandelure, apportez-le. Grâce à Litwick présenté à la fois dans Halloween et Pokémon Go Fest 2020, de nombreux joueurs peuvent apporter Chandelure à ce raid.

Blaziken

Pokemon 257 Blaziken

L’évolution finale du Gen III Fire Starter, Blaziken est un autre excellent choix pour ce raid. C’est un type d’incendie et de combat qui a été facilement disponible et a eu sa propre journée communautaire, vous en avez donc probablement déjà quelques-uns sous tension. Il a des résistances à Bug et Steel, et il n’a aucune faiblesse à exploiter par Genesect. Tour de Feu et Brûlure est le moveset que vous voudrez.

Heatran

Un Pokémon légendaire de la région de Sinnoh de la génération IV, Heatran est un type Feu et Acier qui fonctionne très bien contre Genesect. Il résiste aux attaques de type Bug et Steel, tout en n’ayant pas de faiblesses pertinentes. Heatran a également eu plusieurs courses dans les raids maintenant, donc la plupart des joueurs actifs ont eu la chance de l’ajouter à leur liste. Si vous amenez Heatran à ce combat, vous voudrez qu’il sache Tour de Feu et Lance-flammes.

Moltres

Pokemon 146 Moltres

Pokémon légendaire de la génération I, Moltres se comporte très bien dans ce raid. Il a des résistances à Bug et Steel, mais sa faiblesse aux dégâts de type électrique le rend beaucoup moins idéal contre cette version de Genesect que certaines des autres. Moltres a été disponible dans de nombreux raids, récompenses de percée de recherche et même en tant que Pokémon Shadow légendaire, donc la plupart des joueurs en ont quelques-uns. Tour de Feu et Surchauffer est le moveset que vous voudrez ; Cependant, s’il vous arrive d’avoir un Moltres avec le mouvement Legacy, Attaque du ciel, ne vous éloignez pas de ce TM. C’est l’une des meilleures attaques de type Vol et ne peut être récupérée qu’avec un Elite TM.

émoussé

Pokémon 500 Emboar

Un autre allume-feu entièrement évolué, Emboar est un excellent compteur pour Genesect. Comme Blaziken, c’est un type Feu et combat, il résiste donc aux mouvements de type Acier et Insecte et subit des dégâts normaux du type Électrique. Il a également bénéficié du traitement Community Day, en plus d’avoir été présenté dans un certain nombre d’autres événements, de sorte que la plupart des joueurs en ont déjà quelques-uns. Humain et Brûlure sont les mouvements que vous voudrez que votre Emboar connaisse pour ce raid.

Entei

Pokemon 244 Entei

L’une des bêtes légendaires de Johto, Entei est un autre choix fantastique pour ce raid. En tant que type Feu pur, il n’a pas de faiblesses pertinentes et résiste aux dégâts de type Insecte et Acier. Bien qu’Entei soit un Pokémon légendaire, il a été disponible dans les raids, en tant que récompense de découverte et même en tant que Pokémon légendaire de l’ombre dans l’équipe de Giovanni, il y a donc de fortes chances que vous en ayez au moins un. Si vous amenez Entei dans ce combat, vous voudrez qu’il sache Croc de feu et Surchauffer.

Flareon

Pokemon 136 Flareon

Le dernier mais non le moindre est le type de feu “Eeveelution”: Flareon. Un autre type de feu pur, Flareon peut résister à toutes les attaques de Genesects, seuls les mouvements de type électrique infligeant des dégâts complets. De plus, parce qu’Eevee est dans le jeu depuis le premier jour et a été présenté dans d’innombrables événements, y compris plusieurs Community Days, il n’y a aucune bonne raison de ne pas avoir les ressources pour toute une équipe de Flareons. Tour de Feu et Surchauffer est l’ensemble de mouvements que vous voudrez que votre Flareon connaisse lorsque vous affrontez Genesect.

Sauvegardes ?

Bien que la plupart des joueurs soient capables de former une équipe des meilleurs compteurs, si vous trouvez un écart dans votre équipe, il existe de nombreux remplaçants qui fonctionnent bien dans des groupes plus importants. Assurez-vous simplement que vous esquivez et que l’un des éléments suivants pourrait être une sauvegarde décente :

  • Infernape avec Fire Spin et Blast Burn
  • Typhlosion avec incinération et soufflage
  • Victini avec Quick Attack et V-Create
  • Magmortier avec Fire Spin et Fire Punch
  • Pyroar avec Fire Fang et Overheat
  • Arcanin avec Croc de Feu et Lance-flammes
  • Ho-Oh avec incinération et explosion de feu
  • Delphox avec Fire Spin et lance-flammes
  • Houndoom avec Fire Fang et lance-flammes
  • Charizard avec Fire Spin et Blast Burn
  • Salamence avec Fire Fang et Fire Blast
  • Heatmor avec Fire Spin et lance-flammes
  • Simisear avec Fire Spin et lance-flammes
  • Mega Manectric avec Thunder Fang et Overheat
  • Rapidash avec Fire Spin et Fire Blast
  • Camérupt avec Ember et Surchauffe
  • Ninetales avec Fire Spin et Weather Ball
  • Mewtwo avec Psycho Cut et lance-flammes
  • Groudon avec Mud Shot et Fire Punch
  • Togekiss avec pouvoir caché et lance-flammes
  • Genesect (Burn Drive) avec Fury Cutter et Techno Blast
  • Électrique avec Thunder Shock et Lance-flammes

Pokémon de l’Ombre ?

Le rééquilibrage des Pokémon Ombre sauvés de la Team GO Rocket en fait d’excellents canons en verre. Non seulement leurs statistiques sont améliorées, mais lors d’événements spéciaux ou avec les TM Elite, il est possible de modifier leurs mouvements. S’il vous arrive d’avoir l’un des Pokémon suivants avec le bon moveet, ils fonctionneront très bien dans ce raid :

  • Shadow Entei avec Fire Fang et Overheat
  • Ombre Arcanine avec Croc de Feu et Lance-flammes
  • Shadow Magmortar avec Fire Spin et Fire Punch
  • Shadow Ho-Oh avec incinération et explosion de feu
  • Salamence de l’ombre avec Fire Fang et Fire Blast
  • Shadow Moltres avec Fire Spin et Overheat
  • Shadow Charizard avec Fire Spin et Blast Burn
  • Shadow Houndoom avec Fire Fang et lance-flammes
  • Shadow Mewtwo avec Psycho Cut et lance-flammes
  • Shadow Ninetales avec Fire Spin et Weather Ball

Remarque : Shadow Entei, Shadow Arcanine et Shadow Magmortar surpassent tous les Pokémon non méga et non légendaires dans la liste des meilleurs compteurs.

Combien de joueurs faut-il pour battre Genesect dans Pokémon Go ?

Genesect n’était pas un raid particulièrement difficile avant Mega Evolution. Maintenant qu’il y a trois méga Pokémon de type Feu disponibles, vous devriez pouvoir facilement éliminer Genesect avec seulement quelques dresseurs de haut niveau, même en tenant compte des mouvements de type électrique légèrement plus menaçants de cette version. Si vous n’avez pas de méga énergie à revendre, si vous n’avez pas les meilleurs compteurs ou si vous êtes d’un niveau inférieur, vous voudrez peut-être viser quatre joueurs, mais même dans ce cas, cela devrait être un raid relativement facile.

Les conditions météorologiques qui pourraient avoir un impact sur ce raid incluent :

  • Le temps pluvieux augmentera les mouvements de type Bug et Electric de Genesect
  • La neige augmentera ses mouvements de type Acier
  • Le temps ensoleillé/clair augmentera vos compteurs de type Feu

Pokémon GO Season of Heritage Teased

0

Trainers, a new season of Pokémon GO has been announced on the official Pokémon GO Twitter profile. We don’t have information on when the full announcement will arrive, but we do know that the Season of Mischief ends on December 1.

Here’s the full teaser:

Our initial thoughts lead us to the Hisui region where Pokémon Legends: Arceus takes place, but it seems that Mount Coronet could also be the mountain shown in the background. Some of our staff mentioned the steeple and Mount Silver as well, which is the Johto region, and speculation is all over the place …

We’re not sure where Niantic Pokémon GO is with this season, but we’re pretty sure an announcement will be made this week. Wednesday is December 1, so tomorrow makes sense, as is tradition with the Pokémon GO Tuesday / Thursday news cycle.

What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comment section below.

The Pokémon GO Season of Heritage Teased post appeared first on the Pokémon GO Hub.

New Pokémon Trading Card Game Application “Live” Announced

0

Hello coaches,

The Pokémon Company recently announced that it will be closing its Pokémon Trading Card Game online client in favor of a new in-house application; Live Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Their previous client (PTCGO) was outsourced to Dire Wolf Digital and has been running since March 2011. Many events and tournaments have been held on the client, especially during the pandemic season with the Players Cup series. PTCGO has been an important part from the card game community over the years, so the decision to build the experience into a new, hopefully, better app was inevitable.

PTCGO in hindsight

PTCGO was well known for its commercial economy, and players could offer any card or card packs for other cards or card packs. For example, you could offer a newer set package for a Zacian V. However, whether or not this exchange would be accepted is up to the people. The economy decided by the players was either a blessing or a curse, and the most powerful cards were by far the most popular and therefore the most expensive. An example, at the time of writing, is the Jolteon V promo card looking for an astronomical 18 packs of Evolving Skies. I specify “at the time of writing this article” because the market is incredibly volatile and subject to change on a whim.

PTCGO had support for 4 formats: standard, expanded, legacy, and thematic.

The standard league is the most popular for tournaments. Tune in to a Pokémon Worlds event and they are most likely playing Standard. Standard is made up of a rotating list of cards, at the time of writing it is made up of any card from the basic set of Sword and Shield onwards. Next year, around August-September, it will rotate to the Battle Styles expansion onwards.

Expanded is the most consistent format, never rotating entire sets, although some problem cards have been banned from the game. Seeing how cards printed years apart can be quite fun, making Expanded my favorite format. Expanded is made up of most of the cards from the basic set of Black and White onwards, with a list of prohibitions.

Legacy has a large barrier to entry, making it kind of an exclusive club. Legacy consists of the Heartgold and Soulsilver sets up to Legendary Treasures, the last of the Black and White sets. It can only be these cards, and they will never be subject to rotation or new additions to be drastically changed. Some basic cards in this format were significantly expensive, like Junk Arm and Tropical Beach, so it has a small but dedicated player base.

The theme is the beginner’s format. You can only use pre-built themed decks, which can be purchased at a fairly low price, even with in-game currency. However, most themed decks are overloaded with junk energy cards and followers, so the theme format is something you have to work on your way out.

PTCGO had a ladder system, where every three weeks you could earn points to earn rewards and special cards, such as GX or V attribute Pokémon and full art followers. Each day there was also a smaller ladder for smaller rewards such as coins and tournament tickets.

Speaking of tournaments! Players can take part in quick tournaments to win tradable packages, a rare commodity. The 3 formats you can participate in are Standard, Expanded and Theme, the first two take 8 tickets to enter and the Theme takes 4. Every time a new set is released, tournaments give out card packs of that new set exclusively for a short period. period, so it is customary for people to save all their entries for themselves.

There are also some small-scale features in PTCGO, like Challenges. These are usually small tasks like “Evolve X Type X Pokémon”, “Deal X Damage with Type X Pokémon”, and so on. These give XP for that guy, who after leveling up gives you themed deck cosmetics. for that specific type. There’s also the Trainer Challenge, which pits you against NPC trainers, most of whom use really outdated decks from the XY era. It’s not really worth discussing.

Pokémon GO TCG online

New Live features (which we know about)

Now that we’ve reviewed the past, let’s talk about the future, huh?

Live will have 3 currencies: coins, crystals and credits. Coins are used exclusively for cosmetic items, such as deck boxes and avatar clothing. Crystals are used to purchase bundles, bundles, promo cards, and the Battle Pass. Credits are earned by obtaining duplicate cards and are used to purchase any specific card. According to some sources, it seems that all the coins are obtained completely in the game without microtransactions, but I will edit this part if I am wrong.

There will be a battle pass, with the option to spend crystals for better rewards. It’s unclear what the rewards are and how well it’s valued, so let’s wait and see. There are also daily tasks, which reward the aforementioned coin.

Each player can create a fully 3D avatar. It sure is something you can do.

Each player will get 8 starter decks to start with, and the app will have a built-in tutorial. Combined with the casual mode for practice, Live should be a breeze for new players to join.

Live will have a ranked mode and a casual mode, with players taking on players of a similar skill level. At launch, only the standard format will be playable, and the expanded one will be introduced after updates. The main game mode will be the usual Pokémon trading card game, completely intact.

Live has been formatted with mobile devices in mind, to open the game to as many people as possible. It should provide a clear and user-friendly interface, even on a touch screen.

What is transferring?

If you use the same Pokémon Trainer Club account between PTCGO and Live, 4 of each card, 1 of each Prism, Ace Spec, and each part of the V-Union cards, and 59 of each Black and White basic energy card in later they will be transferred. Unopened packages will be converted to crystals, at the following exchange rate:
– 1 to 9 unopened items in PTCGO = 250 Crystals awarded in Live
– 10 to 24 unopened items = 550 crystals
– 25 to 49 unopened items = 1,125 crystals
– 50 to 124 unopened items = 2,350 crystals
– More than 125 unopened items = 6,200 Crystals
Leftover cards over 4 and packs over 125 will be discarded as a warning.

Cards from the Heartgold and Soulsilver and Call Of Legends expansions will not carry over. As such, Legacy will not be compatible with Live.

Certain deck cosmetics will carry over, but it is not very clear specifically which one it will be.

PTCGO Coins and Tournament Tickets will not carry over. Better to spend them! Your decklists won’t transfer either, but can be exported from text. Copy and paste them into a notepad document for future use.

I’ll leave these 2 support articles here for clarity.
Transferable
Non-transferable

Reception

The reception of PTCG Live has been very mixed among veteran players. Some veterans are happy with it as they see it as the only way for the game to grow in the future, and are excited to see the game become easier to use. Other veterans, on the other hand, are upset that their large collections will lose their value, they are upset about the departure of the Legacy format, Expanded is not available at launch, and / or they see it as a ‘cash grab’. It doesn’t matter which side you’re on, of course, it’s a drastic change in the way people will play the trading card game online.

conclusion

PTCG Live will be instrumental in expanding the reach of Pokémon Cards in the public consciousness into more than just expensive pieces of cardboard that you can sell; A set is also attached to them! Since Live will also be coming to mobile devices, would Hub readers be interested in more Pokémon card articles (Pokémon TCG Hub, if you like)? Better decks, discussion of new cards, etc.? Make sure to tell us!

What to keep an eye out for during Pokémon GO Halloween 2021

0

Hello coaches! We just wanted to give a quick update and check in the middle of the ongoing Pokémon GO Halloween 2021 event. We are currently in the middle of the second part of the event, called Ghoulish friends.

Halloween events are usually a great opportunity to do bag inventory and manage Pokemon storage, and this year’s event is also a chance to strengthen your Trainer Battles roster.

Here are some things we are working on right now and we think you could benefit from knowing. Just as a reminder, these are the currently active Candy bonuses:

  • 2 × Transfer Candy
  • 2 × catch candy
  • 2 × Hatch Candy
  • Candy XL guaranteed when walking with your friend

Take as many Trevenant as you can


Trevenant

Trevenant is making a big statement in Trainer Battles right now, making tectonic changes to the Great League and Ultra League meta. Outperforms most Water, Grass and rock Pokémon, with enough bulk to defeat Azumarill most of the time.

If there’s one Pokémon that you should take a look at right now, it’s Phantump and its Trevenant evolution. You can get double the Candy with anything you make, so take some time to grow some good Trevenants for GL and UL.

Do not trust me? Check out this GO Stadium infographic for an overview of the current Meta Cores using Trevenant in PvP:

Trevenant Meta Cores

As for raids, Trevenant is not relevant at all, but for Trainer Battles, you are looking for something quite special.

Stay on top of Hoopa’s special investigation

For most of us, keeping up with special research can be a daunting task if you have several at the same time. However, Hoopa’s special research, Pokémon GO’s poorly understood Hoopa Mischief guide, tasks, and rewards need some special attention, as it has 16 stages and is quite long.

Try to stay on top of this as much as you can, as some stages get much more difficult to complete outside of the event windows.

Pokemon storage cleanup

Pokémon GO Candy

Every year, I perform the same cleansing ritual before the December events. Just transfer everything you don’t need. Pokémon GO November 2021 brings a lot of pressure towards your Pokémon storage (Shinx CD!), And it is always advisable to use the 2x Transfer Candy to clear your inventory.

If you’re like me, you’ll probably be doing a bulk transfer on October 30, so be careful not to forget to transfer something before the Halloween event ends.

Get a Mega Absol

Mega Absol

This is one of my fan favorites, so this tip is a bit skewed, but try to get a Mega Absol while it’s available. It is white, majestic and amazing. Our Mega Absol Raid Counter Guide is available and ready to go.
