    13 Rarest Pokémon In Pokémon GO & How To Get Them
    Dec 9 2025
    The episode is an excerpt from a 2025 guide detailing the 13 rarest catches in the mobile game Pokémon GO. It explains why certain Pokémon are difficult to obtain, citing factors such as region-locking, event exclusivity, low spawn rates, and difficult evolution requirements like those seen with Kecleon and Dusk Form Lycanroc. The article categorizes these rare monsters, ranging from elusive wild spawns like the Lake Guardians (Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf) to highly sought-after, untradeable Mythical Pokémon with expired research quests, like Keldeo. Ultimately, the guide ranks Armored Mewtwo as the absolute rarest and offers tips for dedicated players on how to chase these "crown jewels" through events, trading, and relentless grinding.

  • Metroid Prime 4 - Beyond - All Vi-O-La Skins And How To Unlock Them

    Metroid Prime 4 - Beyond - All Vi-O-La Skins And How To Unlock Them
    Dec 4 2025
    The episode explains the revolutionary new traversal system introduced in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, focusing heavily on the Vi-O-La, a weaponized motorcycle-like vehicle Samus uses to traverse the planet Viewros. This vehicle is critical for gameplay, allowing high-speed movement and combat in large hub areas like the Sol Valley desert hub, and receives crucial functional upgrades such as specialized suits for navigating lava or extreme cold. Beyond utility, a key feature is the customization offered by eight cosmetic skins, which align with the series’ lore—featuring designs based on Sylux or Phazon corruption—and provide thematic particle effects. These visual changes are predominantly earned by completing high amounts of mileage tracked via an in-game odometer. While the skins reward dedicated riding, tapping the special Samus & Vi-O-La amiibo allows instant color swapping and provides minor daily gameplay perks.
