As you traverse Olcea, you'll collect the Elemental Shards. These special stones give your Pokémon the ability to gain a third type in battle - but they also grant helpful abilities in the field. Today, we're determining exactly what those abiliities are, and how you can use them to aid in your travels. And we've got two fakemon for the price of one!

The Olcea Map is almost complete, but we have just a few more areas to fill in, such as optional bonus areas for side quests or little details to fill in some routes. Alex introduces a a fakemon inspired by a spooky ghost story, an artist from Seattle, and a very unassuming creature.

Every region has its own unique and special ways to encounter Pokémon, and Olcea is no different. Today we're discussing the Cryptic Fields, a phenomenon unique to Olcea for encountering rare Pokémon, such as shinies or those with hidden abilities! And we have not one, but two new fakemon.

Filling in the gaps in the map of Olcea, JD brings us more Pokémon routes inspired by California's National Parks (and maybe inadvertently Yellowstone too). Then we get a three stage fakemon to be found amongst the treetops.
