it’s been awhile since we’ve seen an elephant Pokémon, but Cufant is here to fix that. The Steel-type Pokémon is based on copper, making it a heavier and more sturdy elephant than its predecessor Donphan. Cufant’s evolution Copperajah gets access to the new Gigantamax mechanic, which will make it an immediate capture for some. Here’s where to find it in Sword & Shield. Where To Get Cufant Cufant can be seen walking around the Wild Area’s Bridge Field during sunny or snowy weather....

Although his journey started out a little rocky, with the majority of his major victories in Kanto coming down to pity or dumb luck, Ash has grown significantly as a trainer, in no small part due to the quality of the trainers he has to battle. Not all of Ash’s opponents are particularly noteworthy, however, with some being entirely forgettable even after repeat viewings of the series. That being said, there are also many trainers that Ash has battled, sometimes multiple times, and are noteworthy not just in the anime series, but also in their appearances in the mainline Pokemon RPGs as well....

Prepare for trouble, Pokemon GO players, and make it double. The game has added two new set of costumes based on the infamous Team Rocket, including Team Rainbow Rocket from Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon.

A new troublesome glitch in Pokemon GO lets players occupy gyms without any fear of losing a Pokemon battle and, in turn, earn an endless source of Pokecoins. Beware Pokémon GO players, there’s a new glitch in town and it’s not pretty. While most glitches have benefited players on an individual level or made it difficult to find nearby Pokémon, this latest glitch can impact an entire group of players and there’s really nothing they can do to combat it....

The Korea Consumer Agency, a South Korean regulatory body, has reportedly called the Pokemon GO refund system anti-consumer. Although it’s not yet in the game, the refund system would allow Pokemon GO players to refund PokeCoins and item purchases, but with significant limitations. The KCA has reviewed the limitations of the refund system, along with the terms of service players have to agree to alongside the system, and believes changes are necessary....

Being the very best is hard, especially for Twitch streamer Pokemon Challenges who recently took on Pokemon Fire Red in a perma-death run - using only a Rattata. Throughout the 20 years since the release of the original games, Pokemon has been played in many different creative ways - few so brutal as the Nuzlocke challenge. A playstyle that requires players to release any creatures that faint in battle, one Pokemon fan has taken hard mode to the next level, soloing the game with a single Rattata....

And the Mass Effect 3 cross-promotional train continues. After special in-game items were unveiled for players who went through the Kingdoms of Amalur demo and picked up rather expensive collector toys, Electronic Arts is now announcing a new DLC promotion that ships alongside the game’s art book. Dark Horse Comics’ The Art of the Mass Effect Universe book, though not connected with DLC directly, will net gamers a special multiplayer rifle if they pre-order the book from Barnes and Noble....

For an added bit of cash each month, or annually, PlayStation Now offers up a wealth of extra games on top of the usual PS+ collection. January’s selection has just launched and it’s a decent enough bunch, featuring all the Bioshocks, Frostpunk, Surviving Mars, and The Crew 2. Barring one, every single game added to PS Now this month is a permanent addition. This means that you can download them, boot them up, play them, and not have to worry about them leaving the service like The Office just did with Netflix....

Sony is rolling out invites to a select group of PlayStation 4 players to test out the PS4 beta update 8.50 before it’s released to a wider audience in the near future. According to the patch notes first reported by MP1st, the software update, which PlayStation has apparently dubbed the Spring 2021 beta in their email invitations, will remove the PlayStation Communities feature. Communities were introduced in September 2015 as part of PS4 system update 3....

Larian Studios has reintroduced the masses to the glory of pen and paper RPGs turned into video games since 2002. It’s easy to argue that the dual love letters of Divinity: Original Sin and Divinity: Original Sin II gave the developer the reputation it deserves as a revitalizer of all-things RPG. The studio also made education and casino games earlier on, but these won’t be listed because they’re less relevant to the studio’s current development direction....

Facebook Watch just got its first exclusive in the form of Rival Peak – a gameshow-like experience where viewers get to vote on what happens next. It’s developed by Pipeworks Studios and Genvid Technologies, with former Telltale Games employees playing a big role in its creation. Rival Peak sees 12 characters thrown into a region not unlike the Pacific Northwest. As you watch the competition unfold, you’ll be asked to vote on actions for the characters to perform at various times throughout the day....

The sun has set on Outlaw Pass Number 4 in Red Dead Online and now Outlaw Pass Number 5 is ready for purchase. The new Outlaw Pass highlights some new goods available for players, including a new canine companion, clothing, camp items, Moonshine Shack decorations, and plenty of other valuables. Outlaw Pass Number 5 will cost players 35 gold bars to get, but this time around developer Rockstar has a special gold bar rebate incentive for players who want to get started on outlaw activities in Red Dead Online sooner rather than later....

We at TheGamer like to consider ourselves true connoisseurs of video game-related art, and as such pride ourselves on always bringing you the very best of what the gaming community has to offer.

When one thinks of Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, they usually think of cowardice, over-sized sandwiches, and solving mysteries. However, the Internet has decided to transform Shaggy’s image from that of a 60s-era hippie with the munchies and a talking dog to that of an unstoppable, God-like being whose power level dwarfs that of Thanos or even the One Punch Man, Saitama. This new take on Shaggy can be found all over the Internet in the form of near-endless memes, and because of his newfound popularity, some are calling for the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon character to be added to Mortal Kombat 11 as a DLC character....

PGA Tour 2K21 released in August and already has a new update that adds new game modes and exclusive clothing items. The previous update addressed bug fixes and gameplay optimization, while the current update contains no tweaks to gameplay, but adds two new multiplayer game modes to PGA Tour 2K21. The High Rollers online playlist allows players to bet virtual currency in a skins-like format. It’s a 1 vs. 1 playlist that requires a 1,500 VC buy-in for the match, in which three holes from PGA Tour 2K21 maps are chosen at random, with the winner taking all....

In the four years since being made the head of Xbox, Phil Spencer has overseen some of the most trying times for the brand. Inheriting a failed console launch that left Xbox trailing behind its main competition, Spencer began Xbox on the very long, very bumpy road to recovery and improvement, and according to Spencer, the walk down that road is far from over. In his keynote address at the DICE Summit today, Spencer called on game developers and game publishers everywhere to address the lack of inclusivity rampant in the modern game industry....
