Luckily, below you’ll find a variety of tips to keep in mind that’ll make your time EV farming much easier and more convenient.

The Isle of Armor DLC added many new forms and Pokémon for players to collect, and players have already started using these creatures to their advantage during Pokémon battles. New Gigantamax forms, Galarian forms, and completely new species of Pokémon have come into creation within the DLC. Players are busy collecting all of these new Pokémon and forms; however, some fans may wonder how they hold up to each other in terms of strength and designs....

Pokemon GO is putting in a ton of work into keeping the community engaged and active in the mobile AR experience during the early weeks of May and, in theory, however long the social distancing recommendations and stay-at home orders last. The new world order of state and country lockdowns and stay-at-home orders are not great for a game that ideally wants players to be out and running around in the real world, but Niantic is making quick changes and doing everything it can to make the game playable from home....

Pokemon GO’s first real season of Go Battle League is underway and players have been waging some epic brawls. The feature has been incredibly popular so far, partially thanks to everyone being stuck inside and the option to use it remotely. That said, some clear strong and weak trends are clearly emerging. Like with any competitive online metagame, Pokemon GO is going to have to do constant work to rebalance the match ups and make sure no particular Pokemon, types, or movesets are dead in the water....

The next Heirloom to arrive in Apex Legends just might be for the latest character to hit the battle royale game. Heirlooms are a big deal in Apex Legends, as any fan will attest. They’re the rarest, most exclusive rewards you can possibly find. Not every character has an heirloom, as only Wraith, Bloodhound, and Octane have been handed heirlooms in the form of the Kunai, Raven’s Bite, and Butterfly Knife, respectively....

Games retailer GameStop reveals that PS4 Pro sales are ‘off to a good start,’ and that virtual reality gaming headsets don’t stay on store shelves for more than 10 days. When Sony announced the PS4 Pro, after months of speculation about upgraded PS4 hardware, gamers were more than a little excited. With 4K demos for games like Mass Effect: Andromeda also promising that previously released titles would get 4K support, and that virtual reality gaming is expected to benefit from the console’s improved specs, there was lots for gamers to enthuse about....

Ubisoft just launched its technical test for Hyper Scape on PC, and while the gameplay is thrilling, you should not try this battle royale with just a controller. It won’t end well for you. Trust me, wait until the console launch later this year. This isn’t Call of Duty, Fortnite, or even Apex Legends; Hyper Scape is a different beast. It’s just as fast as an arena shooter, like DOOM or Quake....

Last week, reports surfaced that the highly-requested PSN name change feature was still in the works. Now, after years of waiting, players on the PlayStation 4 can now change their PSN ID, as confirmed by Sid Shuman, Sony’s Social Media Director for PlayStation. In line with Sony’s announcement of how the feature will work six months ago, the first PSN ID name change is free. However, subsequent changes will cost players $9....

After the PSN Outage of 2011, most wouldn’t blame gamers for being cautious about their Sony accounts. The vulnerability of personal info, and the speed with which hackers can rack up 1,000s of dollars worth of charges, is something that, if people weren’t aware of before, they certainly are now. It’s with that in mind that we bring news that several SEN (Sony Entertainment Network, the new name for the PSN) accounts have had their passwords reset....

On May 7, Capcom will launch Resident Evil Village, also known as Resident Evil 8, which functionally serves as the eighth “numbered” entry in the series, though it has dropped the number from its name. Apparently, Capcom may avoid numbering Resident Evil games in future as well, instead sticking to unique titles like Resident Evil Village, though fans will have to wait and see on that front. If Capcom is really done numbering its Resident Evil games, that means that there have been a total of eight numbered entries released so far, including the prequel Resident Evil Zero....

The Record of Lodoss War franchise is somewhat of an enigma to western audiences, though it is most likely recognizable as a fantasy anime series from the 90s. There have been a number of video games based on the series, but the latest, Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, is the first to jump into the Metroidvania genre. The game is generating positive buzz ahead of its release....

A Red Dead Online player can spend hours customizing their character. They can spend ages in the General Store deciding on an outfit and a color scheme. Rockstar also has a lot of options for weapon styles, engravings, and carvings. Rockstar doesn’t just go the extra mile with physical customization, but also with classes, skillsets, and playstyles. Red Dead Online has an ability customization system called Ability Cards. There are six different Dead Eye Abilities to choose from; and 27 different Passive Ability Cards....

Rockstar Games recently revealed some more information about Red Dead Redemption 2’s online multiplayer, Red Dead Online, including its plans to host a beta in November. One thing it didn’t address, however, is just how many players the game’s multiplayer would support. Surely it wouldn’t be as substantial as a battle royale title, but how many gunslingers could players expect to see on the map? According to the packaging of the Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Pro bundle, Red Dead Online will support between two and 32 players....

One of the main goals in Red Dead Redemption 2 is to earn as much money as possible, both for protagonist Arthur Morgan as well as the Van Der Linde Gang’s camp. There are a variety of ways players can earn cash in the game, but here are the best methods to make money. First and foremost, the best way to make money in Red Dead Redemption 2 is to play through the story missions and side quests....

When hunting animals in Red Dead Redemption 2, the goal is to get perfect pelts. Perfect pelts are the highest quality of animal pelt in the game and this quality gets the most money when donated at camp or sold to shops. Perfect pelts are also necessary for crafting certain items. This perhaps explains why Rockstar Games has made these high-quality pelts so difficult to get. However, bagging perfect pelts doesn’t need to be so difficult....

There’s no doubt that Red Dead Redemption 2 is poised to be one of the biggest games of the year, and in fact, its October release date has reportedly seen other companies push their titles to early 2019. However, even though Red Dead Redemption 2 will likely be a sales juggernaut, analyst firm Piper Jaffray estimates that it will be outsold by the likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V....

The Harrow is an RNG boss you can find in the world of Rhom in Remnant From The Ashes. This boss has huge slicing range, pipes in the room that burst, a maze of a room, and of course, adds. Maneuvering around this fight gets complicated when there are threats at every single corner. Like many other bosses, this boss fight contains an alternative loot drop if you perform the right actions in battle....

For months, PewDiePie and Indian music label T-Series have been battling it out for the top spot on YouTube. There have been some instances where T-Series has managed to surpass PewDiePie, and in the most recent case where T-Series beat PewDiePie, it actually seemed like the battle was over. PewDiePie himself acknowledged defeat, releasing a song called “Congratulations” to facetiously congratulate T-Series on its victory. Since its release a little over a week ago, PewDiePie’s Congratulations song has become one of the most-watched YouTube videos of all time, amassing over 76 million views and counting....

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is finally making its debut on Xbox One, with the game going live at midnight on December 12. Those that have been anticipating the battle royale shooter may be wondering just how much hard drive space they need to reserve to play the game, and as it turns out, its file size is rather small. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is 5.24 GB on Xbox One. It’s possible that the game will have a day one update that will increase its file size, but fans won’t know for sure until the game itself goes live....

Experienced Pokémon players will know just how important a good moveset is, as well as how crucial good TMs can to making them. Often, a Pokémon’s natural learnset just isn’t up to snuff. Fan favorite Mewtwo, for instance, is a special attacking powerhouse, but without TMs it’ll mostly have terrible moves like Swift to choose from. Whether you’re breeding competitive Pokémon or just playing through the story, TMs offer quick and convenient access to some of the very best moves in the game (more convenient than ever now that they can be used unlimited times, unlike the TRs of Pokémon Sword & Shield)....
