Ho-Oh from Go Raids Lacks Sacred Fire

Niantic’s odd choice disappoints gamers—this month’s Ho-Oh raids lack Sacred Fire.

Even though Shadow Ho-Oh had this move last week, the current raids don’t. This confuses fans since it’s a key move in the Go Battle League. They don’t get why it’s missing.

New Charizard Card Coming Soon

A new Pokémon OCG set, Ruler of the Black Flame, launches in Japan on July 28. It brings a Dark Tera Type Charizard card.

While Dark Charizard cards aren’t new, fans are excited. This card has a fresh design and promises power in competitions.

Limited Time: Catch Shiny Smeargle

Shiny Smeargle is hard to find in Pokémon Go. You have to snap photos and hope it photobombs. It’s even rarer as a Shiny.

For a limited time until March 14, Shiny Smeargle will appear more in photos due to the Festival of Colors event. Try to catch one or grab extras while you can!
