Today we're battling Darkrai in Pokemon GO during this monster's Raid Hour, starting at 6PM local time. If you have the opportunity to drop in on a Darkrai raid, you're going to want to know which Pokemon to take along to do your best in battle. And yes, there is a Shiny Darkrai in the game right now - if you win, you could potentially encounter a Shiny Darkrai.
Niantic Labs has been around for a long time and, at one point in time, was even a Google company. Its core business was to bring augmented reality games to the mobile market, but its first title wasn't a commercial success, despite Ingress gaining a faithful following. It finally struck gold with Pokemon GO and has been trying to recreate that success ever since. It has recently partnered with Nintendo again for a relatively more obscure franchise, and Pikmin Bloom is now launching worldwide as people start walking outdoors again.
Today we're taking a peek at the calendar for the month of November, 2021. It begins on November 1, 2021 with two events and one launch. There's GO Battle Day starting at 12AM local time (that's right as the day switches from October 31 to November 1). There'll also be a Dia de Muertos on November 1 that'll start at 10AM local time- no matter where you live in the world.
Darkrai counters in Pokemon GO for Raid Boss Battles are here! It's time to get going on the second part of Halloween in Pokemon GO, and the big boss - non-Mega - is Darkrai!

You'll also be happy to know that Shiny Darkrai IS in the game, and your potential for finding a Shiny Darkrai is not altogether terrible!
Pokemon GO Research right now includes a significant amount of Ghost Type Pokemon requirements. If you plan on completing the research in a timely fashion, you'll need to start tossing Pokeballs at tens of Ghost Type Pokemon, and keep it up through the end of the month.

Today we get our first look at Power Up Pokestops, a new game mechanic in Pokemon GO. This system delivers bonus items and features based on the leveling up of each individual stop. TO BE CLEAR: This might not all work right this minute - Niantic JUST launched the feature, so it may need some work!
This week the best event in the Pokemon GO universe takes place starting on October 15, 2021.

Today we're taking a peek at the Shiny Pokemon that'll be available in this Halloween event as an addendum to the Halloween Pokemon GO guide data we've posted already!
The Pokemon GO monster Altered Forme Giratina has very little weakness in its bones - but it IS beatable. The best Pokemon to take to the Raid Hour on October 13, 2021 have moves in the Ghost, Ice, Dragon, Dark, or Fairy-type Pokemon realm. This might seem simple, save the significant overlap these types have with Giratina's various resistances as a Ghost and Dragon-type Pokemon.
