So this is going to be a brief recap entry. I’ll just be going over the few updates to the Pokémon GO app and a few other events I left out on my previous post.
The most notable change is regarding Raid Bosses. As you’ve seen already new Raid Bosses have appeared, such as Sableye and Nidoking, and others have disappeared, including Quilava and Muk. The Legendary roster has also shifted. Suicune is now loose in North America, Entei roams free in Asia and Asia Pacific, and Raikou takes residence in Europe. This event is set to end November 30th, so get them while you can! Lastly, the time limit has decreased from 1 hour to 45 minutes for raids.
In addition, I finally managed to hatch a Porygon!

Speaking of apps, a new app has just revealed called Pikachu Talk. This allows you to use Amazon Alexa and Google Home to talk to Pikachu. It’s a free app and will be available in Japan later this year and internationally in 2018. We can expect a lot of talking to be going on after release.
Next up is Global Link events. I usually don’t cover these, but figured I might as well today. Following the release of Ultra Sun and Moon, if players sign up before January 30th they will receive a serial code for a Master ball. Also, the first Global Mission has be revealed. By November 28th players must collectively capture 10,000,000 Pokemon. If successful, players will win 2,000 festival coins. If not, 1,000 festival coins will be given. Those who already have a Global Link account will receive double the reward. As a reminder from November 10th-17th Global Link will be undergoing maintenance. Due to this, “functionalities such as the QR Code Rental feature, Online Competitions, and Ratings Battles will not be available during that time” (NintendoLife.com). This update is in preparation for the new games, so please be patient. The time will come….
Finally, the shiny Silvally event is coming to end next week. The event gives you a level 100 Silvally via serial code at different stores depending on your region. The North American distribution will end November 13th and you can get the codes from Gamestop. Here’s a list of where to get this Silvally globally and when the event is over:
-Germany, Gamestop Nintendo Zone until November 16th
-France, Micromania until November 16th
-Italy, Gamestop until November 16th
-Sweden, Gamestop until November 16th
-The Netherlands, Game Mania Nintendo Zone until November 16th
-Belgium, Nintendo Zone & FNAC, Game Mania & Smartoys until November 16th
-US, Gamestop until November 13th
-Canada, EB Games until November 13th
-Australia, EB Games until November 13th
Silvally arrives with the ability RKS System and holding a Gold Bottle Cap. Its moves are Multi-attack, Parting Shot, Scary Face, and Punishment.
That’s it for now. See you guys next time!
