Pokemon GO Player's Shiny Gible is Being 'Held Hostage' in Abandoned Gym
A player is wondering if they'll ever see their Shiny Gible again after leaving it at an abandoned gym while on the road far from their home.
Niantic has confirmed that Necrozma from Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon will appear at Pokemon GO Fest 2024, and the game's Twitter account gives a sneak peek of the Legendary Pokemon's in-game appearance. Niantic teases that the Pokemon's intentions are currently unknown. However, Legendary Pokemon are normally introduced as raid bosses in Pokemon GO, so players will likely need to team up against Necrozma sometime during the event. Niantic also teases that players should exercise extreme caution in the future since there will be a surge in wormhole activity at Pokemon GO Fest 2024.
Pokemon GO Confirms Raid Boss Necrozma for GO Fest 2024
The Legendary Pokemon's Pokemon GO move-set is unknown, but it will likely share similar traits and moves with Necrozma from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Depending on the raid boss' difficulty, players will need either a Pokemon GO Raid Pass, Remote Raid Pass, or EX Raid Pass to participate. If players are lucky, they may encounter and capture a Shiny Necrozma, which will likely be sought after in trades.
Niantic will likely share more details about Necrozma's arrival in Pokemon GO soon, including raid event bonuses and the Pokemon's move-set. Players may prepare for the upcoming Pokemon GO Fest activities by participating in Pokemon GO's April 2024 raids, which include Tapu Bulu and Mega Charizard x as raid bosses. Completing these raid encounters awards many useful items, such as Stardust, Revives, and Rare Candy, to name a few. In addition, Pokemon GO Fest event bonuses will also help players maximize their XP and reward gains.
