Leafeon is now available in Pokémon UNITE

Harvest the power of the Verdant Pokémon as you cut through your opponents’ defenses on Aeos Island. Grow your Pokémon roster with Leafeon in Pokémon UNITE! Like Espeon, Umbreon, Glaceon, and Sylveon, the Verdant Pokémon begins each match as Eevee before it evolves into Leafeon during battle. Eevee’s other Evolutions are either Attackers or Defenders, but Leafeon arrives on Aeos Island with some extra pep in its step as Pokémon UNITE’s latest Speedster.

Zip around the battlefield as this Grass-type Pokémon using either Aerial Ace or Leaf Blade before hitting hard with Chlorophyll-boosted attacks or landing the decisive blow with Solar Blade. You can obtain Leafeon for 13,000 Aeos coins or 575 Aeos gems at the Unite Battle Committee shop. Leafeon will only be obtainable with Aeos gems for the first seven days of its release.

Read on to learn more about everything Leafeon has to offer and to pick up a few tips before soaking up the sun on Aeos Island.

Leafeon Basics

Ability: Run Away (Eevee) - When Eevee is not in combat, its movement speed is slightly increased.
Ability: Chlorophyll (Leafeon) - When Leafeon is not in tall grass, its Chlorophyll gauge charges. When the Chlorophyll gauge is full, Leafeon has its movement speed increased.

Basic Attacks

If a basic attack is performed when Leafeon’s Chlorophyll gauge is full, the entire gauge is consumed and Leafeon’s next basic attack becomes a boosted attack. This boosted attack deals additional damage and decreases the movement speed of opposing Pokémon it hits.

Lv. 1 & 2 Moves

Swift - Eevee shoots star-shaped rays, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon they hit. Quick Attack - Eevee moves quickly in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it makes contact with along the way.

Lv. 4 Moves

Razor Leaf - Leafeon launches five sharp-edged leaves in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon they hit before sticking into the ground for a short time. If Razor Leaf is used again, the leaves return to Leafeon and deal damage to opposing Pokémon they hit along the way. If the leaves are returned to Leafeon after a set amount of time has passed since they stuck into the ground, they deal increased damage. If all five leaves hit one Pokémon, Leafeon is granted a shield. Razor Leaf can be upgraded to strengthen the effect of the shield it grants.

Solar Blade - Leafeon starts gathering light and filling a blade with the light’s energy. If Solar Blade is used again after Leafeon has started gathering light, Leafeon brings the blade down, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits. The longer the blade is filled with light energy, the more damage Solar Blade deals. When Leafeon’s Chlorophyll gauge is full, the cooldown for the next use of Solar Blade is reduced, and when the move is used, the blade is brought down immediately and deals maximum damage. Solar Blade can be upgraded to reduce the damage Leafeon takes while filling the blade with light energy.

Lv. 6 Moves

Aerial Ace - Leafeon moves with speed and slashes, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits. Leafeon’s next basic attack after using Aerial Ace deals increased damage. A maximum of two uses can be kept in reserve for Aerial Ace. Aerial Ace can be upgraded to decrease the time it takes to store one of its uses.

Leaf Blade - Leafeon dashes and then spins while slashing around itself with sharp leaves, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits. If the outer ring of Leaf Blade’s area of effect hits opposing Pokémon, it deals increased damage, decreases the opposing Pokémon’s movement speed, and charges Leafeon’s Chlorophyll gauge. Leaf Blade can be upgraded to reduce its cooldown when the outer ring of the area of effect deals damage to multiple opponents simultaneously.

Leafeon’s Unite Move, Emerald Two-Step

Leafeon leaps at the designated opposing Pokémon, dealing damage to it and decreasing its movement speed. After that, Leafeon leaps up and lands with force, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect. Those opposing Pokémon take more damage the closer they are to the center of the area of effect.

Metagame Watch

Strong Against: Decidueye - Melee Pokémon often struggle against Ranged Attackers like Decidueye, but Melee Speedsters can put on pressure in the blink of an eye—and Leafeon is no different. Aerial Ace, Leaf Blade, and Emerald Two-Step all allow Leafeon to close the gap against Decidueye as Leafeon deals damage with its basic attacks and either Razor Leaf or Solar Blade. Leafeon evolves from Eevee at Lv. 4, giving the Verdant Pokémon a distinct advantage in the early game against experience-hungry Pokémon like Decidueye. Leafeon can easily keep opposing Pokémon trying to evolve away from wild Pokémon on the top and bottom paths and in the central area, as well as keep them from scoring at their goal zones.

Weak Against: Snorlax - Leafeon’s speed and damage output are powerful but only when Leafeon can actually move. Snorlax is one of Pokémon UNITE’s most immaculate Defenders when it comes to protecting lower-durability teammates from Speedsters thanks to its powerful hindrances. Snorlax’s Block stops Leafeon from zipping past the Sleeping Pokémon while giving Snorlax’s allies the chance to launch a counterattack. Similarly, Heavy Slam can throw Leafeon and give Snorlax’s allies time to land another hindrance and shut down the Verdant Pokémon. It’s probably best if Leafeon avoids Snorlax in team fights, but waiting out the cooldowns of Block and Heavy Slam might provide a large enough window to knock out a key target.

New information has been revealed about the popular anime Pocket Monsters (airs on the TV Tokyo Network every Friday at 6:55pm, officially abbreviated "Anipoke"). Episode 10, airing June 9th, 2023, will feature the debuts of the Paldea region Pokémon League Champion Nemo and Bowl Town Gym Leader Colza, with Eri Kitamura playing Nemo and Kazuya Nakai playing Colza. In addition, the title and synopsis for episode 10 has been revealed. The official Anipoke Twitter account also posted the interviews on June 2nd, 2023.

Friday, June 9th, 2023 / Episode 10 Nemo and Colza
When Liko and Roy arrive in Bowl Town, the two of them meet the Champion Rank Trainer Nemo who accompanies them to Gym Leader Colza, but it turns out his Gym is closed...?! What has happened to him...?!


A comment from Eri Kitamura, the voice of Nemo:
It was both fun and educational for me to bounce ideas off the anime staff as we fine-tuned Nemo's characterization based on both my personal interpretation of her characterization from when I played the Pocket Monsters Scarlet/Violet video game and the characterization they wanted to do.
The Pokémon battle fanatic Nemo you know from the video game is super intense in the anime as well! Everything she did was so filled with energy I was dripping with sweat while playing her!! I've played several Pocket Monsters characters before, both anime and video game ones, and I'm extremely honored I once again get to play such a wonderful character! I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of expressions we'll get from Nemo in the anime myself, so please look forward to this episode!


A comment from Kazuya Nakai, the voice of Colza:
I was initially really worried about this role because Colza is a character that attracted so much attention from everyone that played the game, but when I first started playing him I had so much fun my worries were instantly blown away. Colza seems very gloomy and hard to please at first, but it's no surprise that the children that live nearby love him dearly. He's very picky, but also extremely open minded and tries to see the best in others. I just love his constantly swinging emotional state, he's such a good person. I myself am also really looking forward to seeing what Liko and Roy will get out of their encounter with him and what he'll get out of his encounter with them.

ゲーム『ポケットモンスター スカーレット・バイオレット』をプレイしていた時に自分が解釈していたネモのキャラクター像と、アニメチームのスタッフの皆様が創り上げたいネモのキャラクター像との擦り合わせや微調整が、芝居への取り組みとして楽しくもあり勉強にもなりました。

Umbreon Is Now Available in Pokémon UNITE

Snarl and Foul Play your way through the competition with the Moonlight Pokémon on Aeos Island.

Channel your Inner Focus as Umbreon in Pokémon UNITE! Like Espeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon, the Moonlight Pokémon begins each match as Eevee before it evolves into Umbreon during battle. But unlike its fellow Eevee Evolutions, Umbreon is a Melee Defender with a bit of moxie to its name—prepare to unleash Mean Look, Snarl, and Foul Play as this Dark-type Pokémon. You can obtain Umbreon for 12,000 Aeos coins or 575 Aeos gems at the Unite Battle Committee Shop. Umbreon will only be obtainable with Aeos gems for the first seven days of its release.

Umbreon is joining the fray, but there’s even more on the horizon for fans who are over the moon for Eevee and its Evolutions. Enjoy Eevee everywhere during the Eevee Festival with Eevee Appeal-o-rama battles—special quick battles in which only Eevee can participate! Eevee will be scattered all over the map, and Gigantamax Eevee will make an appearance too. During this event, players will be able to earn fabulous prizes, including Unite license puzzle pieces for Espeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon. Players will also be able to style their favorite Eevee Evolutions with discounted Checkered Holowear. The Eevee festivities will take place until Thursday, June 22, at 4:59 p.m. PDT.

Read on to learn more about everything Umbreon has to offer and to pick up a few tips before basking in the moonlight on Aeos Island.

Umbreon Basics

Ability: Anticipation (Eevee) - When Eevee would be shoved, thrown, or left unable to act, that effect is negated. This Ability goes on cooldown after it’s triggered.

Ability: Inner Focus (Umbreon) - When Umbreon would be shoved, thrown, or left unable to act, that effect is negated. For a short time, Umbreon also becomes immune to hindrances, and its Defense and Sp. Def are increased. This Ability goes on cooldown after it’s triggered.

Basic Attacks

Umbreon’s basic attack becomes a boosted attack with every third attack, lunging at an opposing Pokémon and dealing damage. This boosted attack also restores Umbreon’s HP. The lower Umbreon’s remaining HP, the more HP is restored.

Lv. 1 & 2 Moves

Swift - Eevee shoots star-shaped rays, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon and applying a mark to them. Eevee’s movement speed is increased when it is near marked opposing Pokémon. When Eevee deals damage to marked opposing Pokémon, its next basic attack becomes a boosted attack. Fake Tears - Eevee feigns crying, dealing damage to nearby opposing Pokémon and decreasing their Defense and Sp. Def while granting Eevee a shield.

Lv. 4 Moves

Mean Look - Umbreon pins an opposing Pokémon with a dark, arresting look. For a short time, the opposing Pokémon becomes surrounded by a black zone, which it cannot leave. While Umbreon is in the black zone, its basic attacks become boosted attacks, and it deals increased damage. Mean Look can be upgraded to increase the black zone’s duration.
Foul Play - Umbreon charges, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and decreasing their movement speed. If the charge hits an opposing Pokémon, Foul Play can be used again. If Foul Play is used again, Umbreon sweeps in front of itself with its tail, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits, decreasing their movement speed, and shoving them. The second stage of Foul Play deals increased damage based on the Attack of the opposing Pokémon hit in the first stage. The higher their Attack, the higher the damage. Foul Play can be upgraded to make Umbreon’s next basic attack after Foul Play become a boosted attack.

Lv. 6 Moves

Wish - Umbreon makes a wish for an ally Pokémon. For a set amount of time, that ally Pokémon receives reduced damage, then afterward, the wish comes true and restores HP to that Pokémon. If the targeted ally Pokémon is knocked out before the wish comes true, a different ally Pokémon near it takes the wish instead. Wish can be upgraded to further reduce the damage received by the targeted ally Pokémon—as well as increase the amount of HP restored when the wish comes true.
Snarl - Umbreon yells as if ranting about something, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the area around it and decreasing their Attack, Sp. Atk, and movement speed while also granting Umbreon a shield. Umbreon continues to yell for a set amount of time, then it lets loose a final shout, leaving opposing Pokémon in the area around it unable to act and further decreasing their Attack and Sp. Atk. The Attack and Sp. Atk decreases can stack. Snarl can be upgraded to increase the length of time the final shout leaves opposing Pokémon unable to act.

Umbreon’s Unite Move, Moonlight Prance

Umbreon continually recovers HP when it is not in combat. Umbreon also leaps up and absorbs the shields of opposing Pokémon in the area around it, taking them for itself. Then, Umbreon lands, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect and leaving them unable to act. For a short time afterward, when an opposing Pokémon in the area of effect is granted a shield, Umbreon absorbs a portion of it and takes it for itself.

Metagame Watch

Melee Defenders need to stay in the action and make space for their less durable and less mobile teammates. Umbreon is a unique Melee Defender that focuses less on hindering opposing Pokémon and more on healing with its boosted attacks and with Wish—all while making its way through opposing Pokémon with Foul Play and Snarl. These moves allow Umbreon to focus on diving in and knocking out opposing Attackers while using self-healing to avoid being knocked out itself.

Strong Against: Blastoise - Umbreon should usually avoid attacking bulkier Pokémon like Blastoise, but Umbreon’s Unite Move, Moonlight Prance, can take great advantage of Pokémon with large shields. At higher levels, Blastoise’s Unite Move, Hydro Typhoon, grants Blastoise a huge shield that allows it to dive into the enemy backline without concern. When Umbreon uses Moonlight Prance, Umbreon can immediately steal away that shield, effectively stealing some of Blastoise’s HP for itself.

Weak Against: Mew - Foul Play allows Umbreon to chase down most Pokémon, but Mew’s high mobility makes it difficult for Umbreon to chase down the New Species Pokémon. Mew also has long-range moves, like Solar Beam and Electro Ball, that can take down Umbreon in a one-on-one fight. As Umbreon, it’s best to target Mew with additional backup and extra hindrances. Otherwise, it can be challenging to pressure the Ranged Attacker with Snarl, Foul Play, or Mean Look.

Alert! Alert! Team GO Rocket is back, and they’re bringing Shadow Raids to Pokémon GO! Brief yourself on Shadow Raid Bosses, Shadow Shards, and Purified Gems.

YouTube Clip - A new challenge is here: SHADOW RAIDS

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSM0ert1vmI

Shadow Raids are coming to Pokémon GO!

Trainers,
Team GO Rocket’s back, and they’re up to some big trouble!

In their newest scheme, Team GO Rocket plans to take over Gyms with hordes of Shadow Pokémon. Thankfully, we know our heroic Trainers will step up to face this challenge. Get ready for Shadow Raids!

Team GO Rocket will launch their plans during the Rising Shadows event, starting May 22, 2023. Read on to learn more about Shadow Raids, Shadow Raid Bosses, and how you can stop Team GO Rocket in their tracks!

Team GO Rocket’s coming to town!

Team GO Rocket’s machinations have led them to their latest and greatest plan: taking over Gyms with their Shadow Pokémon!

In Shadow Raids, Trainers can take on powerful Shadow Raid Bosses, and have the chance to catch new Pokémon partners—if they can successfully defeat the Shadow Raid Boss, that is. Trainers can gather their friends for a better chance at victory in Shadow Raids.

While Team GO Rocket will be taking over a number of Gyms, those they’ve left untouched may still host other raids.

Trainers cannot join Shadow Raids using Remote Raid Passes, and Shadow Raids do not reward a team bonus for Premier Balls.

A Shadowy Strength

At Gyms hosting Shadow Raids, you’ll find that Team GO Rocket has placed especially powerful Shadow Pokémon as Raid Bosses.

Three-star and five-star Shadow Raid Bosses will grow enraged as you battle them, boosting their attack and defense. Continue to hold your ground and weaken the Shadow Raid Bosses to subdue them.

The Power of Purification

You can subdue Shadow Raid Bosses using Purified Gems, a new item that can be assembled from Shadow Shards.

Shadow Shards are mysterious gem pieces that may be dropped by Team GO Rocket. Gather enough shards to use Professor Willow’s newly invented Shard Refiner, and you’ll be rewarded with a Purified Gem.

There are multiple ways Purified Gems can assist your battle against enraged Shadow Raid Bosses.

When you use a Purified Gem during a Shadow Raid, the enraged Shadow Raid Boss’s attack and defense will be lowered temporarily. This can give you the opening you need!

You and your fellow Trainers can use more than one Purified Gem during a Shadow Raid. If used at the same time, their effects will stack.

If enough Purified Gems are used, the enraged Shadow Raid Boss will be subdued—returned to its non-enraged state—which might give you the edge you need to defeat it!

Part 3 of Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series Is Coming to Netflix

Starting June 23, 2023, tune in to see Ash battle Leon in the Masters Eight Tournament for the title of World Champion.

The final season of Ash and Pikachu’s adventures continues when Part 3 of Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series comes to Netflix on June 23, 2023. The Masters Eight Tournament is underway in this collection of 15 episodes, and friends (both human and Pokémon) come together to support Ash and Pikachu as they face some of their toughest opponents ever. This, of course, all leads to Ash’s dramatic battle against Galar Champion Leon for the title of World Champion!

When they’re not cheering on our hero, Ash’s current traveling companions are having some adventures of their own. Goh continues his work with Project Mew, but his quest to find the Mythical Pokémon is complicated by an appearance by the Legendary Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre. Chloe and Eevee continue their exploration, as well, learning about the infinite possibilities that the world of Pokémon has to offer.

Check out the latest trailer now, and be sure to tune in to Netflix on June 23 to see Part 3 of Pokémon Ultimate Journeys: The Series.
