On August 16, the 2019 Pokemon World Championships began, and the world's best players of Pokemon games competed for their respective crowns. This is far from the largest e-sports tournament in the world - there've been far larger events over the past decade. But this event was special - this was the first international World Championship event in e-sports to include none other than our favorite mobile game: Pokemon GO.

Niantic released a notification this morning that Pokemon GO users achieved a new target with in-game research tasks. As Professor Willow's graciousness knows no bounds, and Spark, Blanche, and Candela were assisted in making "some amazing discoveries," new features will hit the game imminently. And Jirachi's coming - don't you worry!

Today we're taking a peek at how to get evolved versions of Eevee in Pokemon GO. That includes how to evolve into Leafeon, Glaceon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, and whatever other Eevolutions come next - or MOST of those things, at least. Until further evolutions of Eevee come to Pokemon GO, the ones we've listed so far are the one's we've got - we've got em all!

On August 7, 2019, Niantic revealed the next major update to Pokemon GO, and a new major in-game event. There'll be a physical event, a Safari Zone sort of update - a two-in-one situation where the players around the world are affected by the players in that one localized Safari Zone event. It's gonna be wacky! We're talking Unown-level wackiness here.

Pokemon GO hackers and spoofers on iPhone and iPad may want to think twice about using iSpoofer and similar systems this weekend. Niantic's begun taking a closer look at that specific system for GPS fixing in Pokemon GO and will likely expand on bans on Pokemon GO gamers that've cheated with similar systems. This information has not yet been made public by Niantic - and won't likely be made public any time soon - thanks to Niantic's in-place user agreement for the game Pokemon GO. That agreement to which every Pokemon GO player agrees upon signing up for and playing the game - that's the one!

Yes, there are Pokemon GO veterans already, the game's been out for several years and SOME cool people have played even BEFORE day 1! It's that sort of attitude that's already begun to clash with the release that'll happen in Pokemon GO in the very near future. That very near future will include not JUST one fancy new Pikachu, but SEVERAL super-rare Pikachu that'd been released in the game Pokemon GO in the past.

Both iPhone and Android users will find the latest pair of cheats and hacks for Pokemon GO active as of this weekend. Niantic's been on a never-ending quest to quell the rancor of less-than-friendly hackers and villains of the core goal of the game since launch. But when you've got a game that's THIS popular, certain realities seem to creep in and stick. I mean creep with GPS, and move with a phantom joystick.

To get Ditto in Pokemon GO in the summer of 2019 you'll need to watch a short list of monsters. The list of Pokemon hiding Ditto changes every once in a while, so it's important to have the latest list of Ditto Pokemon available at any given moment. At this very moment, the list of Ditto Pokemon is significantly different from what it was when we first went Ditto hunting - quite different indeed!

This week Niantic launched the Shiny version of the Pokemon GO monster called Rayquaza. Shiny Rayquaza is black instead of green - but otherwise has pretty much the same powers and abilities. This is generally the case when it comes to Shiny Pokemon, what with the alternate colors and the same powers and all. But it's all about the hunt anyway, so let's go!

You're living in that Team Rocket Pokemon GO and you want to catch a brand new Shiny Rayquaza - we all are, right? Lucky you, that's entirely possible, starting on July 31st. That's the good news. The bad news is that if you've not gotten an Armored Mewtwo before the switch, you'll probably be out of luck for a very, very long time. Maybe forever, if Niantic sticks to plan.

Today we've got a Pokemon GO Team GO Rocket action guide for you to take a peek at the dark side of the moon! This update to the game is not limited edition, but individual storylines within the Team Rocket universe are not long for this world! It's a strange sort of situation - but if you're attempting to make sense of how Niantic wants you to Catch Em All, you've most likely been lost before!

Today Niantic revealed they'd be doing a Community Day with Ralts. The Pokemon named Ralts. You know the one... wait, what's that? You have no idea what a Ralts can do, much less what a Ralts looks like? Me too. Or at least that was me before we did some research in the GO Lab earlier today. Now we're ready to give you the FULL rundown on this next-gen Pokemon on which you're going to want to get your hands very, very soon.
