Raid events are returning to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet this weekend!

We found out the hatch rates for Larvesta and it's not... good. On top of that, Niantic sent a push notification that felt a bit insulting to players. It's been reported that Pokémon GO had a downfall in profits, but we go more in-depth about that. Pokémon Trading Card Game Live gets an official release date, but that means the sunset of Pokémon Trading Card Game Online is coming. Finally, we talk about t-shirts and anime.
