These Pokemon have not appeared in a new main series Nintendo Switch game
Posted on 7 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.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus kicks off limited time item distribution
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A new item distribution has just started up in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Players can obtain five Grit Pebbles, five Rare Candy, and five Star Pieces. The distribution will be live until March 31, 2022 at 23:59 UTC.
Grit Pebbles can be used to raise the effort level for one of a Pokemon’s stats, though it only works if the effort level is at least level six and no greater than level 8. Rare Candy instantly increases the level of a single Pokemon by one. Finally, although Star Pieces don’t have any true uses, they can be sold at a high price to the general store.
