The Alola version of Exeggutor turned the Pocket Monster into a full-sized palm tree. The character's design was rather silly! So is this Pokémon Go depiction.

If you've finished Pokemon Sun, keep reading. But if not, you might want to sit this one out.

Guzzlord the Ultra Beast may have appeared in the original Sun and Moon, but the latest games introduce this monster in one of the creepiest scenes in modern Pokémon games.

The biggest, baddest Team Rocket ever is blasting off into the Alola region in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon later this month, with an all-star cast of series villains headed up by the original baddie himself, Giovanni.

Nick Navarre, a top competitive Pokemon player from the US, won last weekend's Roanoke Regional Championships with a unique team that included what many consider the weakest Alolan Guardian: Tapu Bulu.

Pokemon Sun and Moon's online Battle Spot ladder is full of wild teams. Since all games are best-of-one (unlike live tournaments, which are best-of-three), many players bring gimmicks to steal the win in unexpected ways. Even the best competitive player can be caught off guard, because they never know what to expect.

You thought the Pokémon Sun Moon was all silliness and sunshine? Wrong! The latest episode was a real tearjerker.

New job ads from Pokemon developer Game Freak are causing speculation that a Switch entry is in our future. 

Drifblim is typically not fast or strong enough to be offensive, and its base defences are pathetic. Even though that hasn't changed with the latest games, the the haunted balloon Pokemon's usage has actually been surging significantly in 2017. Here's why.

Starting with Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, you can adorn your monsters with "Ribbons" for completing certain quests and contests. One person endeavoured to put all of the available Ribbons from every game on the worst Pokemon possible, recording his months-long journey in a hilarious Ribbon collecting guide.

This really should have happened years ago, but here we are, Usain Bolt and Pokemon together at last.

At the start of 2017, nobody really considered Palossand, Pokémon's sandcastle monster, to be noteworthy for competitive play. Then, the top-four World Championship finisher Markus Stadter lost against a Palossand-centric team live on a Twitch stream.

Pokemon card players are warning each other against buying loose English Pokemon Sun & Moon packs from retailers. An alleged exploit in Pokemon Sun & Moon's booster boxes could lead to retailers scamming customers out of rare cards.

For months now, we've seen people repeatedly fail Pokemon Sun and Moon's Global Missions, the community missions that net players rewards if they reach certain gameplay goals. Turns out, many players can't even register and log in to Pokemon Global Link, the online service which logs their progress in Global Missions, something that would explain why the online quests are faring so poorly.

Since release, Pokemon YouTubers have had issues uploading any footage utilising the signature new "Z-Moves" introduced in Sun and Moon. One fan decided to take matters into his own hands, and the workaround for circumventing YouTube's crap is hilarious.

Team Rocket has had a rough career. Giovanni, their leader, doesn't always appreciate them. They're usually broke. And they usually lose. Well, not this time.

Cheating is rampant in Pokemon thanks to tools which allow players to create fake monsters with impossible stats from scratch. Well, it looks like some of the people messing around with their save files have gotten the hammer from The Pokemon Company.

A couple of months after Sun and Moon's release, one monster has appeared on 40 per cent of the best-performing teams in the competitive Pokemon scene: Celesteela, the ultra beast. Celesteela's schtick: Becoming a "wall" against opponents, and surviving attacks for very a long time. And yet, for all her popularity, Celesteela's antic of slowing matches to a crawl can be a frustrating for players and spectators alike.

Very important news, y'all -- joining Team Skull is possible. Over the weekend, Magfest turned into Po Town as Team Skull cosplayers took over the con.
