Surely all these come true, right?]]>With Niantic confirming the dates and locations for Pokémon Go Fest 2025, we thought we would have some fun predicting what we expect to see appear at these events from May to June in the in-person and global offerings.
After all, outside of the dates and locations, Niantic hasn’t revealed any information regarding the events and what content trainers can expect. Not that that hasn’t stopped me from already looking at flights and hotels to get ahead of the curb.

Prepare your team wisely.]]>Team Go Rocket serves multiple purposes in Pokémon Go, from acting as event bosses to tossing Grunts in your way for Field Research. No matter their goal, Giovanni is pulling the strings—and you need to put in some work to find him.
Hunting down the Boss Rocket in Pokémon Go is something you have to build up to, as it requires you to beat multiple Go Rocket Grunts and all three leaders to have a chance at finding him. This typically involves completing special Rocket-themed research during specific events. If you plan to battle Giovanni, you must prepare a strong team to deal with his rotating lineup of Shadow Pokémon. Here’s a full breakdown of how to find and defeat Giovanni in Pokémon Go to rescue his captured Shadow Pokémon.

Rally your teams for one of Team Go Rocket's leaders, Sierra. Luckily, we know her team and its weaknesses.]]>When facing off against Team Rocket in Pokémon Go, one of the team leaders, Sierra, is a challenging encounter. She will put your Pokémon to the test, and you’ll want to bring your best choices with you to defeat her.
Like the other team leaders you can face, Sierra has a unique series of Pokémon under her command she uses during your fight. You’ll want to bring your best Pokémon to defeat her, but it helps to know what she will use. You can prepare for this using the best team you can make in Pokémon Go, so long as you properly prepare and arrange your setup—especially if you’re preparing to take on the Team Rocket boss, Giovanni.

Here's how to beat him.]]>Team Rocket leaders are difficult encounters that change rosters every few months in Pokémon Go.

The Pokémon you can expect to see from Cliff varies. You’ll want to prepare your team accordingly to make sure you know what Pokémon you’ll want to bring. We can help, especially if you want to then take down Giovanni in Pokémon Go. Cliff is a required battle before you can track down the Team Rocket overlord, and he’s not a pushover either. We can help you find and beat Cliff, bringing you one step closer to defeating Team Rocket.

When fighting against Arlo, it helps to know what Pokémon he will use against you. His overall roster changes every few months, but if you know what Pokémon to bring and use against him, you should have no trouble beating him in battle. Defeating Arlo brings you closer to facing off against Giovanni in Pokémon Go.

What attacks should you teach Meowscarada, and is it a Pokémon you should consider using on your team in Pokémon Go?]]>When adding Meowscarada to your team in Pokémon Go, it’s worth considering what attacks you want to teach it and the best moves it can learn. With the Sprigatito Community Day arriving as the first 2025 event, it turns Meowscarada into a more worthwhile option.
Like all Pokémon, Meowscarada has its strengths and weaknesses. Regardless of how good it is with its attacks, if it doesn’t have a good set of stats, you might be better off using a different Pokémon. If you do want to add this Pokémon to your team, knowing how to get the most use of it is still important. Here’s what you need to know about the best moveset to teach Meowscarada in Pokémon Go.

Exclusive and hard to find, Promo-A cards have some of the best art in Pocket. Here's how to add them all to your collection.]]>Pokémon TCG Pocket has plenty of cards to collect in its main expansion lists, but once you look outside of the standard booster packs, there are even more digital gems to pick up and play with. Promo-A cards are obtained through a variety of means and feature some of the best artwork in the game.
In truth, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to get every one of them by yourself, meaning you might need to use the future trading feature to get some of the rarer pieces. They’re worth hunting down though, both as a collector and as a competitive player.
