Pokémon GO: Every Pokémon You Can't Trade (& Why)

Some Pokemon GO players are currently unhappy with the lack of interesting rewards in the current World of Wonders Taken Over event. This latest Pokemon GO event has just started, and it will continue until March 31.

A Pokemon GO player's hiatus from the game turned out to be a blessing in disguise as they ended up getting an extremely rare Staryu Pokemon. What makes the incident even more significant is that the Pokemon cannot be obtained anymore in Pokemon GO, making it a priceless asset for the user.

Pokemon GO has kicked off a new giveaway that could award free Purified Gems to its players. The campaign has already begun and runs until March 29, coinciding with the World of Wonders: Taken Over event. During this Pokemon GO event, players can complete a new Special Research to encounter Pokemon like Shadow Groudon and Shadow Mewtwo.

Pokemon GO is teasing the debut of Mega Heracross for April 13. Mega Evolutions have been a part of the Pokemon franchise since Pokemon X and Y were released in 2013. The concept eventually made its way to Pokemon GO, with most Mega Evolutions readily available in the augmented reality mobile game.

Pokemon GO players are voicing their frustration with Niantic and the popular monster-catching mobile game, complaining about the over-saturation of Pikachu within the game. The beloved mobile game features a wide variety of creatures from throughout the history of the long-running Pokemon franchise. Niantic regularly adds new Pokemon to the game for players to acquire both through limited-time events and permanent additions, as well as shiny variants of Pokemon GO's creatures. However, fans are growing particularly tired of the abundance of a certain kind of Pokemon.

Pokemon GO has announced the Sizeable Surprises event that will add shiny Wimpod, Kartana, and Celesteela. This year, Niantic has brought several additions to expand Pokemon GO's Pokedex, allowing players to find new monsters. And while the regular Pokedex continues to grow, Pokemon GO has also been expanding the list of shiny Pokemon that trainers can add to their records.

Numerous Pokemon GO players are debating how a simple change in the IV of Pokemon acquired through Special Research would improve these events. Although these Pokemon already have a floor IV that is moderately above average, Pokemon GO players who acquire a shiny mythical within these standard values feel as frustrated as if they hadn't acquired the Pokemon at all.

A Pokemon GO player has used a coveted Master Ball on a shiny Kyogre to match the Pokemon's aesthetic. Legendary Pokemon have been a prominent feature in Pokemon GO Raids since they were released, and this player decided to commemorate a Raid with their Master Ball.

A loyal Pokemon GO player has kept the same buddy Pokemon, the bug-type Pokemon Wurmple, for four years. When Pokemon GO first launched in the summer of 2016, it was a fairly barebones release. At the time, there was little one could do in the game besides catch wild Pokemon, battle in gyms, and hatch eggs. Pokemon GO has come a long way since its initial release, with Niantic releasing numerous updates that have introduced substantial new features.

Niantic has announced a new partnership between hit augmented reality mobile game Pokemon GO and fast-food chain McDonald's, but it's only happening in India. Pokemon GO has formed all kinds of partnerships over the years, encouraging fans of the game to stop at specific restaurants and businesses in exchange for special rewards.

The «Verdant Wonders» event is coming soon in Pokemon GO with new paid Special Research and the exclusive «Rogue Monkey» Pokemon, Zarude. Like a majority of Pokemon GO events, players will have a short window to purchase the new Special Research and take advantage of exclusive bonuses, such as additional encounters and reward drops.

A new Prime Gaming reward hooks Pokemon GO players up with exclusive Partner Research. Pokemon GO has a variety of Research quests for players to tackle. These include Field Research that's collected from PokeStops, Special Research quests, and premium Tickets with their own set of Research tasks for players to complete each season.
