It’s a pretty exciting time for Pokemon fans: Pokemon Sword and Shield hit Nintendo Switch in 60 days, Ash Ketchum attained mastery after 22 years and Pokemon Go is welcoming Oshawott, Snivy, Tepig and a bunch of other Unova region creatures on Monday. You might remember those three as the starters from Pokemon Black and …

We wouldn’t advise playing Pokemon Go on eight phones to get this new Pokemon, but Niantic added new special research that’ll let you add Jirachi to your Pokedex Tuesday. The augmented reality (AR) game developer also revealed its September Ultra Bonus event. Previously, you’d been able to catch Jirachi’s mythical predecessors Mew and Celebi after completing a series of in-game …

Pokemon Go brought Team Rocket trouble in its latest update, and you can take them on in battle.

In the wake of Pokemon Go hitting a billion downloads and shiny Rayquaza coming to raids, developer Niantic is making Ralts the star of this Saturday’s August Community Day. The Psychic/Fairy-type will spawn like crazy in the augmented reality game between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. in your time zone. You’ll also be able to catch a shiny Ralts that’s blue where …

The weeks following the July 2016 release of Pokemon Go were the closest humanity may ever come to a hive mind.

Now, the game has passed an impressive …

There’s a whole lot going on in Pokemon Go, with Team Rocket is bringing chaos and shiny Ralts coming on Saturday. That isn’t enough for developer Niantic, so it’s bringing Rayquaza back to raids on Wednesday. Rayquaza is normally green, but lucky players might encounter its cool black shiny form — which hasn’t been available in the game before. The …

Pokemon Go‘s dull trainer battles were all about tapping the screen to power up your Charged Attacks, but developer Niantic has spiced things up with its latest update. Now you’ll have to do some Fruit Ninja-style swiping to charge them, which sounds much more engaging.  The mobile megahit’s appraisal system has been improved, too — you’ll be able to see …

I love almost everything about playing Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. In terms of animation, storyline and gameplay, it beats the sensation that was Pokemon Go every way but one. The game, codeveloped Niantic and WB Games, feels much richer, with more items to interact with and collect — wizards, magical potions and ye olde Inn. But after days of playing Wizards Unite, one …

Harry Potter and his fellow witches and wizards are in trouble in the new game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, that’s similar to the wildly popular Pokemon Go.

The Pokemon Company revealed on Thursday that Pokemon Masters is coming out this summer, and it looks pretty darn impressive. The iOS and Android game is being developed in collaboration with DeNA (the studio responsible for Mario Kart Tour) and was announced during a press conference last month.
