A year after it was announced, Pokemon Legends Z-A has finally reemerged. The game was just highlighted on Pokemon Presents 2025, an annual showcase that celebrates the franchise’s anniversary with the latest news and announcements.
Chikorita, Tepig, Totodile are the starters this time. Wild zones set up that give Pokémon habitats where they can thrive. Catching Pokemon works similarly to how things were in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. However, there’s a new style of battling – moves can have a shorter or longer reach as well as a different area of effect. Also, as previously teased, Mega Evolution is included.

Completing the National Pokedex in 2025 is almost impossible – the toughest Pokemon to catch
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
We’ve been in the late era of the original Nintendo Switch’s life span for a good while now, which means it’s as good a time as any to work on a Pokedex. At the time of writing, there are a whopping 1,025 existing Pokemon, and the only way to hoard ’em all at once is to put them in Pokemon Home. To be clear, I’d finished my “Living Dex” a long while ago – but to fill the time between Nintendo’s official releases, I decided to redo my entire Living Dex – but with every Pokemon caught in a standard Poke Ball and with my OT (which means traded Pokemon don’t count towards it). If you don’t know this already, a Living Dex is when you have every single Pokemon in the game stored in your boxes. That means the entire evolutionary line, and in my case, every gender difference and form difference for each Pokemon as well.
Working on a Living Dex in 2025 made me realize how absurdly difficult it is to complete this task in 2025. Having completed all of the main series Pokemon games, this was much easier for me than for someone just starting a Living Dex project. But today, I’ll explain what the toughest Pokemon to obtain for Living Dex purposes are and how to go about obtaining them in the easiest way. Surprisingly, there are also a lot of Pokemon that cannot legitimately be caught in a standard Poke Ball along with your OT. We’ll be going over those too.

Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Recently, Pokemon Home began two exclusive distributions: Shiny Manaphy and Shiny Enamorus, which can only be obtained by completing the Pokedex categories for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl and Pokemon Legends Arceus, respectively. Normally, you’d have to Google locations for every single Pokemon and look at all sorts of resources in order to finish the Pokedex – but we’ve done all that for you and organized all the information you’ll need in one place. If you’re looking to finish your BDSP Pokedex to redeem a Shiny Manaphy, look no further.

A new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet distribution has been announced featuring the Eevee Flying Tera Type distribution, though it’ll require a little bit of effort.
Most distributions for the games involving inputting a code via Mystery Gift. This time around, however, you’ll need to visit a specific store. Those in the United States will be able to check in with Best Buy or GameStop. For Canada, it’s GameStop or Toys “R” Us. Finally, in Australia and New Zealand, stop by a local EB Games. You’ll get a code card while supplies last.

Shiny Rayquaza raid guide for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Starting today, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are hosting a 5-Star Shiny Rayquaza raid event that’s accessible to all players. Previous raid events we’ve reported on have been 7 stars, which are significantly more difficult. In other words, even though this is a Legendary Pokemon raid, it shouldn’t give you quite as much trouble as the other raid events Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have hosted in the past. Here’s how to take down and catch the Shiny Rayquaza raid before the event ends on January 5, 2025.

These Pokemon have not appeared in a new main series Nintendo Switch game
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re looking at all the unlucky Pokemon who have not been obtainable in any main series Nintendo Switch games.
The Nintendo Switch has seen two generations of Pokemon so far – three if you count the Let’s Go games. We’ve got the eighth generation, which includes Sword and Shield, Legends: Arceus, and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. And then there’s the ninth generation, which so far only includes Scarlet and Violet but will eventually include Legends: Z-A when it releases in 2025. With all those different games, though, there are still quite a few Pokemon that haven’t been usable in any new main series titles. To clarify what that means – today, we’re going to go over every Pokemon that has not appeared in Sword, Shield, Legends: Arceus, Scarlet, or Violet. Since Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are remakes, we aren’t counting them for this list even though they are technically main series games. One final note before we begin – The Pokemon Company has clarified that the Legends games do in fact count as main series.
