Relicanth is tough to find in Pokemon GO, along with a few other newer Pokemon
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 10 Comments
Not every Pokemon in Pokemon GO can be easily encountered. The latest example of this is Relicanth, who players have only found in Fiji, New Caledonia and Vanatu, as well as New Zealand thus far. If you want to catch this Pokemon, it seems you’ll need to be by the Pacific Island region.
There are four other recently-added Pokemon that could be a bit difficult to find as well, though they aren’t quite as limited as Relicanth. Plusle and Zangoose have been spotted in western parts of North America, the Arabian peninsula, and a few African countries. Minun and Seviper have been located in Australia, a few Middle Eastern countries, and several island nations in Europe.

Pokemon GO now lets you disable weather warning
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
With Pokemon GO’s last notable update, Niantic introduced a new weather system. The functionality also warned players about “potentially dangerous” weather conditions. Unfortunately, issues were encountered rather quickly. The warning wasn’t accurate in some instances, leading to frustration.
When the warning appeared, Pokemon GO’s weather system turned off. That meant players were unable to receive bonuses, such as water-type Pokemon receiving a boost when it’s raining.
Thankfully, Niantic has addressed the situation. Players now have the ability to disable the warning by pressing an “I am safe” button when the pop-up appears. So even if Pokemon GO believes that you’re playing in poor weather when it’s sunny out, you can continue playing.
