How many trainers are needed? If you have the top counter Pokémon and have already reached a fairly high level (40+) in Pokémon GO, you can battle Regidrago in top raids with about 2 to 3 trainers. At lower levels, but with strong counters, you should rely on more trainers.

Pokémon GO starts today Raid event with new Regidrago – How difficult will the top raid be?

In Pokémon GO the dragon Pokémon Regidrago joins the top raids. You can take on the battle with him starting this weekend.

What is a top raid? Top raids were introduced in autumn 2022. They have a few special features:

  • A strong opponent in the raid, initially it was the unleashed Hoopa
  • You can only participate on-site, not via remote raid
  • The eggs start hatching 24 hours before. So you can plan where the raids will be.
  • The raid boss is available for 30 minutes after it starts

When do the new top raids start? The first top raid event of the new season Rising Heroes takes place today, Saturday, March 11, 2023. There will be three times when Regidrago hatches:

  • 11:00 local time
  • 14:00 local time
  • 17:00 local time

What does the new top raid bring on Saturday?

What kind of Pokémon is this? Regidrago is a legendary dragon Pokémon. It was introduced in the DLC “The Crown Tundra” for Pokémon Sword and Shield in 2020.

Regidrago belongs to the group of “Legendary Giants” created by Regigigas. This includes Regice, Regirock, Registeel, and the also new “Regieleki”, which will also come to Pokémon GO through top raids during the season.

For now, Regidrago will be in the spotlight. It is briefly shown in the season trailer:

Start video
Pokémon GO starts new season „Rising Heroes”

Special bonus: As announced by the team behind Pokémon GO, you will be able to participate in limited research when you take part in top raids. It is supposed to yield candy for Regice, Registeel, and Regirock. However, you can only obtain it once.

How tough will the raid be? Basically, you should plan that you can only participate on-site. So you cannot count on support from a distance or participate in a top raid via remote raid. This already makes it more difficult.

However, as it currently stands, Regidrago is not expected to be as difficult to defeat as the unleashed Hoopa was. In theory, it should even be possible to defeat Regidrago with just two players – though you will need powerful Mega counters like Gardevoir and strong crystals like Dragonite and Salamence for that. It is more likely to achieve victory if you battle Regidrago with at least three trainers, preferably more for safety.

In our overview, we show you the strongest counters against Regidrago so you can easily win the raids:

von Patrick Freese

The type of Regidrago is helpful. As a dragon Pokémon, it is weak against ice, dragon, and fairy attacks. This is an important difference from the unleashed Hoopa – which had to be fought mainly with bug Pokémon that were quickly defeated.

Accordingly, Regidrago should be an easier raid than the battle against the unleashed Hoopa.

The new regi monsters are expected to only be available during the top raid dates throughout the season. Therefore, you should mark the date. And there are more exciting events in March that you should not miss in Pokémon GO.

Destiny 2: The World First winner is confirmed – Speedrun clan takes the title in 2023

In Destiny 2, the new raid “Root of Nightmares” started and brought guardians from all over the world together for the traditional World First race. They all wanted to be the first to unveil new secrets lying in a terraformed pyramid. MeinMMO tells you who was ahead and how close the race to victory was.

What raid race is it about? At the launch of Lightfall, Bungie created a brand new raid that started on March 10 at 6:00 PM in the game with the race for World First.

The raid “Root of Nightmares” offers brand new content to explore for everyone who owns the Lightfall DLC. It consists of a total of 4 encounters. They needed to be discovered and completed as quickly as possible during the World First race. In 2023, a total of three teams were tied for a long time.

What does “Competitive Mode” mean in Destiny 2?

In Competitive mode, all players are leveled to a uniform power level, so the only way to victory is good team coordination.

A higher power level does not bring any advantage, as every player is limited to a maximum of 1780 power due to Bungie’s rules. Therefore, the unique challenge of the raid lies in mastering it with 20 power levels too low. And that is something that even experienced players feel significantly. Shots from opponents hit harder and you can take less damage.

However, whoever masters the raid first within these parameters wins the prestigious race for the Day-One competition. In this case, the Worlds First for “Root of Nightmares.”

Traditionally, Bungie holds a Day-One race at the launch of each new raid in Destiny 2. This applies to both new paid raids and to free legacy raids.

Clan “Hard in the Paint” secures victory in 2023

How long did the raid last? Right at 6:00 PM, the raid appeared in the game and the guardians could start it for the first time. However, the opponents from the “Root of Nightmares” raid did not stand up long against the capable fireteams.

Already around 8:25 PM, the first team from Clan “Hard in the Paint” completed all encounters and Bungie announced: “We have reports of a Destiny 2 ‘Root of Nightmares’ World First completion.”

Here, the team from Clan “Hard in the Paint” receives the completed raid triumph

The last Word First winners, Saltagreppo and the Elysium team, cracked the second one at 7:06 PM and rushed to the third encounter. However, a few setbacks set them back. Thus, only All_The_Players from Clan “Unparalleled” could keep up.

Around 8:16 PM, all teams were working on the perfect damage phase against the final raid boss. However, at 8:25 PM, Clan “Hard in the Paint” was able to decide the race. They thus returned to orbit as the first team after 2 hours and 25 minutes.

For comparison:

  • In the “Garden of Salvation” in 2019, the final boss fell after 6 hours and 13 minutes.
  • The Day-One raid in 2021 for the “Glass Vault” was completed in 1 hour and 43 minutes.
  • In 2022, during the Witch Queen raid “The Oath of the Student,” it took 7 hours and 14 minutes.
  • And the 2nd World First in the legacy raid Kingsfall required 5 hours.

After extensive review, Bungie confirmed on Twitter at 10:21 PM that everything was correct and named the 6 players Roen, Osiris, Punz, Kai, SK, and Grangalf as this year’s winners. They all receive the World-First title belt engraved with their names.

Hate and nasty comments against last year’s winners

This is how toxic the Destiny community reacted: The dark side of this joint raid race of the guardians surfaced again through toxic comments from the Destiny community.

Some players expressed that they welcome the fact that with the victory of “Hard in the Paint,” Clan Elysium,which had previously secured the title three times in a row, has failed. Specifically, Elysium member Saltagreppo has been associated with calls for harsh elite nerfs in the game that many rejected since last year.

I really hope that [Saltagreppo] finishes in 10th place and everyone can laugh at him. I never wanted anyone to fail on Day 1, now I do! […] I want you to fail to become World First so I can laugh at you, as most in the community, I fear.

wrote the user Oreo on Twitter

Even if this race is certainly a competition in some way, one still knows each other for years and stands together. None of the clans competing for the World First raid had such disdain for their competition. On the contrary, SK from the winning clan “Hard in the Paint” commented shortly after the nasty hate comments from the community against Clan Elysium:

To all of you flaming Clan Elysium or Saltagreppo or any of the other guys. You are not fans of Destiny 2. Many of us in the top-end raid scene have known each other for years and it is all just a friendly competition. These guys don’t own or deserve any flame at all.

wrote SK shortly after the raid on Twitter, which his teammates shared

This increased the tension: Already beforehand of the raid race, players were worried about some bugs in the game. Also, a total of 9 items were disabled for the race.

Nightmare raid race was a viewer magnet on Twitch

So many wanted to watch the World First race: Shortly after the raid started, Destiny 2 topped the viewer numbers on Twitch.

  • Over 468,000 concurrent viewers catapulted Destiny 2: Lightfall to first place shortly after the raid started, ahead of “Just Chatting,” League of Legends, VALORANT, Fortnite, and CS:GO.
  • Around 7:41 PM, the concurrent viewer count peaked at 520,000.
  • In comparison, there were only 246,000 concurrent viewers during the World First of the Kingsfall raid, thus placing third behind the Just Chatting and League of Legends streams. (via twitchtracker.com).

A new addition to this year’s raid race was also the official livestream from Twitch Rivals.

When does the competition mode end? All players who do not want to experience the raid in competition mode will have to wait a bit longer. Bungie will keep this mode activated for 48 hours this year. Only from Sunday evening at 6:00 PM can the raid then be played in normal mode.

Did you watch the race and secure the Twitch emblem? Or are raid races and winner belts not of interest to you at all? And what do you think of the diss against Saltagreppo and his clan? Feel free to leave us your opinion.

Destiny 2: Players blow themselves up for praise – Explosively bypassing the new system

Twitch: German “Comfort” streamer harassed women – “It was never my intention”

A German Twitch streamer marketed himself as a “feel-good streamer,” providing a supposedly safe space on his channel. Now accusations have been raised that he has repeatedly behaved inappropriately towards women and exploited his reach.

Note: This article originally appeared at 12:40 before the statement from Nik alias Eistuete was published. We have updated the article accordingly.

The title image is a symbolic image.

What are the allegations? On March 8, the German streamer Philipp “Paarzival” posted about his Twitch colleague Nik alias Eistuete. He is said to have repeatedly acted inappropriately towards female streamers.

How did it happen? According to Paarzival, Eistuete allegedly followed the same pattern over and over again: he would message female streamers privately and use intimate or uncomfortable nicknames like “Mommy.”

He would then transition to questions about age and relationship status, suggesting calls or meetings. There were also said to be more explicit and inappropriate remarks, including:

  • “If you weren’t so young, I would be already in love” (to a noticeably younger but apparently of age streamer)
  • “I would like to have sex with you”
  • “But you didn’t sleep your way to becoming a Twitch partner, did you?”

Additionally, Eistuete allegedly made promises to female streamers. He was said to have offered to make connections to increase the women’s reach (via Twitter).

In light of such allegations, it is even more important to provide women with a platform. The Twitch streamer Sandra Friedrichs advocates for mental health in gaming and speaks with MeinMMO about it:

Victims report their experiences

What do the victims say? On Twitter, women talk about their own experiences with Eistuete. We have collected some statements from the women:

  • “Thank you for making this public. He also behaved very unpleasantly towards me. I am still shocked at how far he went with others and very glad I blocked him so early. Just WTF.” (via Twitter)
  • “My inhibitions are very high when it comes to these things, and even the sentence: […] I would have sex with you at any time […] I actually ignored. I feel sorry for all the affected ones and those who are not doing well with it! Much strength to all” (via Twitter)
  • “Thank you. Thank you for clarifying. I also received nude pictures from him. When I tried to speak up, I was blocked everywhere and unfortunately no one wanted to believe me. Thank you for the text!” (via Twitter)
  • “After I had played Among Us with you a few times, he added me. The fifth message was the question of how old I am and whether I am single, so he can be sure how flirty he can be with me.” (via Twitter)
  • “The question of whether I was single and how flirty he could be came up quickly. After I said I was taken, he said he wouldn’t hit on me – at most compliments. Less than 24 hours later came the question of whether I would sleep with him if I were single.” (via Twitter)

Others who were not affected themselves are shocked by the behavior of the streamer. Many thank Paarzival for the clarification and explain that they were deceived by Eistuete (via Twitter).

In reaction to the allegations coming to light, there were apparently also false claims that the streamer had behaved inappropriately towards minors. Paarzival himself distances himself from these claims: He is not aware of any such case.

He also condemns the spreading of hate and the publishing of the streamer’s private information:

I want to emphasize again that hate, doxxing, and the spreading of false information is never an acceptable means. This is wrong and should be condemned absolutely. Please get a grip. A reasonable tone of communication is key!

via Twitter

Doxxing is the gathering and subsequent publication of personal data from the internet. This is related to malicious intentions towards the affected.

Eistuete was popular in the art community on Twitch

What the streamer is known for: Eistuete became known mainly for streams of the drawing game Gartic Phone, a mix of Chinese whispers and Montagsmaler, where players come up with funny sentences and then draw them.

He marketed himself as a feel-good streamer. On his Twitch channel, viewers were greeted with “Welcome to your safe space.” On Twitch, the streamer has 9,700 followers and averaged between 200 and 300 viewers (via sullygnome).

With Gelartio, Eistuete was also closely linked to another art app. According to the website, art enthusiasts can showcase their skills and share them with the community playfully – ideally, even paid commissions could come out of it (via gelart.io).

How involved the streamer was in the app exactly is unclear. He himself reportedly referred to Gelartio as “his app.” One of the developers explains on Twitter that they are independent of Eistuete; while he was involved in the creative process, he was not involved in the development:

In a Twitlonger, the Gelartio team distances itself from the streamer.

Streamer does not deny allegations

What does Eistuete himself say about the allegations? That same evening, the streamer posted a tweet regarding the allegations. In it, he asked for time to think to respond appropriately. However, he did not deny the allegations.

Update 21:15 – On March 10, a more detailed statement followed via Twitter. In it, the streamer explained that he would take full responsibility for his actions. He never intended to hurt or harass anyone.

What happens now: Eistuete announced that as a consequence of his behavior, he would stop streaming and want to withdraw from the public eye. However, he would work on himself and his communication skills (via Twitter).

Meanwhile, all images and videos from his accounts on Twitch and Twitter have disappeared. It seems that the streamer wanted to withdraw from the public eye for now.

While writing this article, Eistuete’s website went offline [as of March 10, 12:40 PM].

Destiny 2 disables 9 items at the start of the new Lightfall raid “Root of Nightmares”

The new DLC “Lightfall” has brought a lot of bugs to Destiny 2 that have not yet all been fixed. Today’s launch of the Worlds First for the raid “Root of Nightmares” made it necessary to deactivate 9 buggy weapons and items. MeinMMO tells you what exactly you have to forgo and why.

Update 10.03/ 5:50 PM: As Bungie has just announced, another exotic armor has been locked for the World First. We have added it to this list. (via Twitter)

What has Bungie announced for the raid? Tonight at 6:00 PM, the new Lightfall raid “Root of Nightmares” in Destiny 2 will start with the big World First race. In the first 48 hours after the launch of the new raid, it will then be active in the so-called competition mode. Players from around the world will once again engage in an exciting race for a victory belt.

What is the competition mode?

The Contest Mode, or competition mode, is a mode that Bungie only activates at the start of each new raid. Players are massively scaled down from their light level, unfair and broken exotics are disabled, and enemies hit you with deadlier and much more accurate shots.

Bosses also become true sponge-like creatures that can endure massive damage. Essentially, it is a nightmarish version of the affected raid, in which guardians will grind their teeth for hours.

  • The World First raid race starts today, March 10th at 6:00 PM, and the contest mode ends 48 hours later, on March 12th at 6:00 PM.
  • Interested players must have a power level of 1,780 to be at the limit during all encounters in contest mode.
  • To ensure it is not too easy, all participating players will also be automatically scaled to 20 power levels below every raid encounter for the full 48 hours.
  • The first fireteam to complete the raid, loot the last chest, and return to orbit will be crowned the winner of the World First race, as soon as Bungie verifies the clear.
  • Players who do not want to play but prefer to watch can secure Twitch drops in the form of emblems, as Bungie announced on their website.

In addition to the general information, Bungie has also announced a number of items that will be disabled in the first 48 hours after the release of the raid.

All locked weapons overview

Many teams plan their loadouts and ability builds for the raid very carefully. However, since Bungie has now disabled several items for the raid launch, you may have to rethink this selection now, as in addition to weapons, exotics, and armor mods, a strand fragment is also locked.

MeinMMO lists the affected items for you here and explains why you cannot use them during contest mode.

Great Overture – Exotic Machine Gun

destiny2-maschinengewehr-exotics--großeovertüre-witchqueen
The exotic machine gun “Great Overture” came with the “The Witch Queen” DLC

Why the weapon was locked: The catalyst of the exotic machine gun “Great Overture” caused enemies to be permanently blinded.

Additionally, due to the bug, the blind effect was also transferred to other explosive weapons when switching the weapon (via CheeseForever – YouTube).

Lion’s Roar – Exotic Grenade Launcher

destiny-2-löwengebrüll
This grenade launcher named “Lion’s Roar” is also not allowed in the new Lightfall raid

Why the weapon was locked: The small grenade launcher “Lion’s Roar” caused astronomical damage to enemies with red bars with its explosions. This would also jeopardize fairness and must stay in the vault.

Winterbite – Exotic Glaive in Heavy Slot

glefe-stasis-lightfall-2023-destiny2-winterbiss-1
The first heavy glaive “Winterbite” that came into the game with Lightfall is also out

Why the weapon was locked: The first heavy glaive also dealt heavy damage. Hardly in the game, Bungie had to deactivate it again, as all bosses and enemies hit by it quickly met their end. It will get to know the raid later and remains disabled until further notice.

More on the topic
Destiny 2 disables another Exotic in Lightfall – Here are the reasons
von Britta ♤ BeAngel

Jötunn – Exotic Fusion Rifle

D2_Black_Armory_Press_Kit_Gear_04
Jötunn remains disabled

Why the weapon was locked: Even with the noob weapon Jötunn, one could secure an unfair advantage in the World First race for the first raid clear of “Root of Nightmares”. Therefore, it also remains locked – now also during the Raid Contest in PvE.

The fault lies with the bug that generated more ammo than intended when using the weapon in combination with the “Solar Thief” mod.

  • Normally, the “Solar Thief” mod grants 2x special ammo instead of 1x when picking up ammo used by the respective weapon.
  • However, with the bug with Jötunn, it is said that 10x special ammo was generated each time and one could shoot infinitely – even in PvP.
Noob weapon? The Jötunn is referred to as a noob weapon by many guardians, primarily due to PvP. Some players believe that no skill is required for kills with the weapon, and even the biggest noob can achieve guaranteed kills with it.

The weapon’s projectiles have tracking and are deadly on a direct hit. An unsuspecting enemy can be eliminated in the Crucible with just one shot without needing to aim particularly accurately.

Hierarchy of Claims – Exotic Bow

hierarchiederansprueche-destiny2-season19-dungeon-saeulederwaechterin
The dungeon exotic bow caused too much damage due to its guiding ring

Why the weapon was locked: The exotic bow with the guiding ring has a damage bug that has not yet been fixed. In normal PvE, it is not too bad, but its unwanted property would jeopardize the raid race.

  • Shooting at targets at a certain distance through the guiding ring apparently dealt double damage.

These items are also disabled

In addition to the weapons, Bungie has also disabled some armors as well as mods and strand abilities.

  • “Citans Bulwark” – Exotic Gauntlets for the Titan
    • Through the exotic, players and their allies could shoot through the tower-high barricade. The exotic was recently nerfed in hotfix 6.3.0.5. Why it now had to be disabled for the World First run is unfortunately still unknown.

UPDATE:

  • “Necrotic Grip” – Exotic Gauntlets for the Warlock
    • Dealing damage to fighters poisons them, and this damage grows over time. If a poisoned fighter is defeated, the state spreads. Apparently, the spread with strand was too strong, which is why the exotic was pulled out of the race shortly before the raid started.
  • Thread of Ascendancy” – Strand Fragment
    • Normally, activating the grenade ability would reload equipped weapons and grant temporary bonus effectiveness in the air as well as handling. However, due to a bug, this fragment could also automatically reload weapons without delay.
    • Bungie also announced that this option will be disabled throughout the entire game – not just in the raid competition mode.
  • Empowered Finish – Armor Finisher Mod
    • The mod grants players armor charge on finishers when they have none. However, it could also generate unlimited special ammo when players used it in a certain way.

When will the items be reactivated? So far, nothing is known about when Bungie plans to reactivate the items.

Typically, most should be available again after the 48 hours, when the competition modifier is removed from the raid. Guardians who wish to discover the new raid “Root of Nightmares” on the normal difficulty level after the contest will likely be able to use them again.

Did the lockdowns upend your plans for the raid launch? Let us know in the comments. Also, whether you will be participating in the raid on Day One or prefer to enjoy everything from a distance on Twitch and YouTube.

If you still need weapon tips for the raid, here is a list of items that have not yet been locked for the raid:

I have never been so divided about in-ear headphones for PC and PS5 – because the idea behind it is brilliant

With the HyperX Cloud Mix Buds, there are in-ear headphones for gamers that can be used with mobile phones, PC, and PS5. Why the idea behind it is great, but the execution is not entirely convincing, is explained in the review.

HyperX offers “Cloud Mix Buds” in-ear headphones for gamers. They aim to provide good sound in a compact size and advertise low gaming latency and wide compatibility for mobile phones, PCs, and consoles. In particular, in-ears compatible with the PS5 are relatively rare.

In the review, I wanted to find out how well the HyperX headphones perform and whether they justify the price of just under 150 euros. Because the idea of selling gaming in the form of in-ears appeals to me very much. With EPOS and Razer, however, there are already reputable competitors.

Who tested it?

I personally own over 20 gaming mice and have tested over 15 keyboards. I also now have over 10 sets of in-ear headphones. At MeinMMO, I have been testing hardware for our readers since 2019. Besides the PC and PS5, I am also now using the Steam Deck.

The HyperX Cloud Mix Buds were provided to me by the manufacturer for testing. HyperX actively supported me with the technical issues.

Design and Build: The in-ear headphones from HyperX have a fairly wide body that needs to be inserted into or on the ear so that the silicone tip fits in the ear. There are no additional cushions for the ear bone.

The design is in plain black. Aside from a simple logo of the manufacturer, the in-ears feature no additional design or embellishments. There is no RGB lighting, which would only illuminate the ear from the inside.

The case for the headphones is somewhat wider compared to other manufacturers, but this is not a problem.

HyperX Cloud Mix Buds scope of delivery
Scope of delivery for the headphones: cable, adapter for USB-C, dongle, and charging case.

Processing

The processing of the HyperX Cloud Mix Buds is absolutely solid. The case and the headphones are well-made, and the delivery includes a silicone case in which the case for the headphones can be transported. The case fits securely in the silicone cover and is sometimes hard to remove.

The headphones and the charging case are otherwise made entirely of plastic and forgo metal or aluminum. This is common in the 100-euro range, but in higher-priced models, you can encounter higher-quality materials.

Software

Technical issues: At the beginning of the test, I had major problems connecting the “Mix Buds” to the mobile phone (Android). The Android app stubbornly refused to recognize the Buds. The actual connection with Android, however, posed no problem.

Only after I deleted all other stored Bluetooth devices did the app recognize the in-ears. In everyday use, this was absolutely impractical, as I also wanted to actively use other Bluetooth devices.

The issue was only resolved with the app update on February 14, 2023. Since then, I can also link the in-ears without the cumbersome detour through the app and I can also use other Bluetooth devices like a smartwatch or a fitness tracker in parallel.

I can only check the app update with my Samsung phone. If you absolutely want to use the in-ears with a mobile phone, keep possible technical problems in mind and definitely install the latest app.

App and interface: The “NGENUITY” app otherwise relies on a clear and intuitive interface, if it is supposed to work. The software is entirely in English.

On PC and console (assuming USB-C connection), the in-ears can be used without problems with the included dongle. However, I cannot really use the software here.

On the PC itself, the in-ears are not recognized via the NGenuity software and are also not officially supported. However, the DTS:X surround sound is installed via the software.

On the next page, you can read about my experiences regarding wearing comfort, sound quality, and battery life. In the conclusion, I explain the strengths and weaknesses you can expect with the in-ears.

  • Iron Banner starts later on March 21 (previously March 14) to not ruin the player experience at Lord Saladin due to the invisibility bug.

Fortnite: New Battle Pass of Chapter 4 Season 2 – All Skins, Pickaxes and Levels

A new Battle Pass has been released with Season 2 – Chapter 4 in Fortnite. Here you will find all the skins, emotes, harvesting tools, and other content that you can get in the new Battle Pass.

This is happening right now in Chapter 4 Season 2: Chapter 4 Season 2 has started in Fortnite. In addition to novelties on the map, there have also been some trailers for the story as well as gameplay content that players can expect during Season 2.

If you want to see the patch notes for the new Season 1, we have summarized the most important points for you: Fortnite: Patch Notes for Update 24.00 for Chapter 4 Season 2

Structure of the Battle Pass: As usual, the Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks. The pass for the new Season 2 of Chapter 4 will have the same star system as in Chapter 3 before. You have the opportunity to unlock your rewards with stars.

Can I immediately get the last skin of the Battle Pass? No, Fortnite ensures that you must first reach a specified level before you can unlock a collection of rewards.

  • If you want to buy a loading screen on page 3, you must first reach level 11.
  • If you like the skin on page 5, you must first reach level 26.
  • If the pickaxe on page 6 is exactly what you need, Fortnite wants you to reach level 29 first.

This applies until page 14. The old system from Chapter 3 has been retired. You no longer need to unlock a number of pages before obtaining your desired item.

You can watch the gameplay trailer we embedded for you here:

When can you play again? This is a relatively large update. It is therefore likely that Epic Games could bring the servers back online at 1:00 PM or even at 3:00 PM. It could also be that the servers are taken down for several days. However, nothing is confirmed yet.

When will the patch notes arrive? Epic Games usually publishes a short list of patch notes on their website after the update. If that happens, we will list them here quickly and clearly.

What content could be released with Chapter 4 Season 2?

Epic Games rarely reveals any new information about upcoming content before an update. However, trusted leakers like Shiina have been keeping an eye on the data hidden within and with their insider sources they can predict the following content:

LoL reworks the evil cat Yuumi – But she returns with a curious bug even nastier than before

The cat champion Yuumi has caused bad vibes in League of Legends in the past. So much so that the entire character was reworked. Now the nasty cat is back and is worse than before. A nasty bug is to blame.

What exactly can Yuumi do? Yuumi is a support champion in League. The cat is rarely found in the Summoner’s Rift herself, but prefers to be carried, literally. She can hop onto another champion and support them directly.

While doing so, she has no health points of her own and can only take damage when the champion she is sitting on dies or she leaves him voluntarily. This way, she is always in the thick of things and can assist her “carrier” at any time.

However, the cat was long hated by players because she was simply too strong. Riot made adjustments several times and weakened Yuumi, but she managed to hold her ground and was still considered an extremely strong champion.

How did Riot react? The developers ultimately rebuilt and redesigned Yuumi. The “new” cat has been in the game for a few days now, aiming to provide relief to Summoners.

But now, a bug with the “new” Yuumi is causing this not to be the case. This nasty bug allows Yuumi to significantly enhance other champions before the game has truly begun.

With Yuumi, one could also rise well in rank:

Start video
LoL: Video shows the relationship between rank placement, MMR and league points

Goddess’s Tear now also makes players cry

What is the Goddess’s Tear? The bug is related to Yuumi and the item “Goddess’s Tear.” Some champions buy this item early in the game as it can be enhanced over time. Every time you cast a spell while having the Goddess’s Tear, it gains a stack.

Each stack increases your maximum mana. And that’s not all, later the Tear can be converted into two different items that can draw damage from the accumulated stacks. The more stacks you can gather and the faster you can do so, the better.

What kind of bug is this? Some players have now noticed that stacks on the Tear can be collected without doing anything at all. Every time Yuumi sits on a character who has the item and then leaves again, the carrier receives a stack of the item.

Since Yuumi’s ability has an extremely low cooldown, a champion with the Goddess’s Tear can come to the lane with over 40 stacks on the item at times. This gives them a huge advantage before the real game has even started.

A user shared on Twitter what this can look like:

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.
Link to the Twitter content

So far, Riot has not been able to fix the bug, but it can be assumed that they are already working on it. Until then, some users are discussing how to best exploit the bug. For example, someone writes on Twitter that with Yuumi and Ezreal, you can generate up to 70 stacks before the 1:30 minute mark.

What do you think of the bug? Or personally about Yuumi? Can you also not stand the nasty cat, or do you think she isn’t as strong as everyone says? Have you encountered the bug with the Tear yourself? Or have you noticed a different one? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.

Destiny 2 Lightfall: Raid „Root of Nightmares“ starts today – Everything about the start and what you need to know

Destiny 2 also offers a corresponding raid with every DLC release, this time it is called “Root of Nightmares” and is intended to challenge many guardians. To know when the raid in Lightfall takes place, what its theme is, and what to watch out for, we summarize all this information for you here in our overview.

Update Info/ March 10: Today marks the start of the Day-One run for the raid “Root of Nightmares”. We also have a summary for good weapons that you should use in the raid:
8 strong weapons in Destiny 2 that will give you a chance in the new Day-One raid of Lightfall

Additionally, we have provided the emblems that can be earned in the raid for Worlds First and afterwards.

Destiny 2: Lightfall – Trailer-„Root of Nightmares“ raid race for World First

When does the new raid of Lightfall start? Mark your calendars for Friday, March 10, at 6 PM.

  • On March 10 at 6:00 PM, the raid “Root of Nightmares” will start for all players, but first in Contest Mode.
  • The Contest Mode will run until Sunday, March 12 at 6:00 PM.
  • You have 48 hours to master this difficult challenge in Contest Mode and either achieve solo victory or earn the Prestige raid emblem.
  • The Contest Mode of the raid “Root of Nightmares” will have a power cap of 1780 for all encounters, Bungie announced on March 3.
  • After the Contest Mode expires, all guardians can normally enter the raid and experience the new content without the extra challenges of the Contest Mode.

We will now show you in the following section what you should know about the Contest Mode and where the venue could be located.

Raid in Lightfall – Everything about Day-One and the Venue

Will there be a Day-One run? Yes, there will also be a Day-One run for the raid “Root of Nightmares”, and it will be held in the form of Contest Mode.

What is Contest Mode? Contest Mode is a mode that Bungie activates only at the launch of each new raid. Players are severely scaled down from their light level, unfair and broken exotics are disabled, and enemies hit you with more lethal and accurate shots.

Bosses also become real sponge-like beings that can absorb massive damage. Basically, it is a nightmarish version of the affected raid, where guardians will struggle for hours.

After the Contest Mode, players who successfully survive and complete the raid first will be rewarded with a prestigious championship belt and an emblem.

The raid “Root of Nightmares”

What should I watch out for? So far, it is still unclear which weapons, exotics, and equipment you should bring. However, there are already some leaks:

Furthermore, the patch notes have clarified what you should keep an eye on:

  • Legendary linear fusion rifles will be weakened in terms of damage
  • Grenade launchers will be buffed and receive more damage
  • Machine guns will also receive a buff to their damage
  • The strand aspects have been fully unlocked and can also be used

Nevertheless, in every Day-One raid, the rule is: Take everything that could be useful, because you never know when you might need these items. The altered conditions regarding armor build may necessitate changes in the week leading up to the raid that should be planned for.

For weapon selection in the new raid, we recommend these options:

Where will the raid take place? The new raid will take place on the Pyramid ship attacked by the light, where the Witness resided before crossing through its portal.

In the Destiny community, there is already speculation about whether it involves Dark Dreams and the revival of the old “Galaxy Pools”. Whether there will be a giant tormentor in the raid has also been discussed. However, all of this is currently just theory. Bungie itself describes the situation around the new raid with the following words:

A terrifying being from an unknown time and place has made itself known. We must now confront the ancient threat growing at the gates of our home.

via bungie.net

But despite all the speculation: Which being stands as an opponent is still unknown. It could also be Nezarek. The fact is, however, no matter how you spin it, there are many interpretation possibilities in this topic for guardians to exchange. But that makes it even more exciting for all players who will be the first to explore the raid on March 10.

What do you think? Where will the new raid take place? Is it a time raid? Feel free to leave your theory in a comment!

Pokémon GO: Evolving Burmy into Burmadame and Moterpel – What you need to consider

To evolve Burmy into Pokémon GO Moterpel and Burmadame, there are several things to consider. We at MeinMMO show you how to recognize which evolution arises from Burmy and tell you whether the monster also exists as Shiny.

Which monster is it about? The Bug Pokémon Burmy comes from the 4th generation of games and has various forms. You can find it with a trash cloak, plant cloak, or sand cloak. Additionally, it can evolve into Moterpel or Burmadame. What you need to consider to get the desired monster is summarized below.

Getting Moterpel and Burmadame – What you need to watch out for

These are the evolutions: Burmy is one of the Pokémon in the game that has several different evolutions. It can either evolve into the Bug and Flying Pokémon Moterpel or into Burmadame. Its type depends on which form of Burmy you evolve.

How to evolve Moterpel? To secure a Moterpel, you simply need to evolve one of your Burmy. The form does not matter, but it must be a male specimen. So be sure to pay attention to the gender.

This is how you get Burmadame: Since you need male Burmy for the evolution into Moterpel, female specimens are required for Burmadame. Unlike Moterpel, Burmadame, like Burmy, also has various forms that differ in appearance and type. You can obtain the following:

  • Burmadame (plant cloak) is of the Bug and Plant type
  • Burmadame (sand cloak) is a Bug and Ground Pokémon
  • Burmadame (trash cloak) relies on the Bug and Steel types

Burmy, Moterpel & Burmadame – Appearance, Shiny, Location

This is what Burmy and its evolutions look like: Burmy is a type of black worm with a curled horn. Depending on the type it takes on, its remaining body is covered by green leaves, yellow sand, or red rags.

Its evolution Burmadame is, on the other hand, somewhat larger, but also has a black body and a prominent horn. In contrast to Burmy, its cloak is now firmly fused with the body, which is also adorned with leaves, sand, or rags. In all forms, it wears color-coordinated bands on its head.

Moterpel, on the other hand, visually resembles a butterfly. Here again, the black body can be found, but there is no longer any sign of the horn. Instead, two large, broad antennae in orange-white adorn its head. Additionally, it has two pairs of wings in yellow and orange.

Is there Shiny Burmy? Yes, with a bit of luck you can also encounter a shiny specimen. However, it differs only slightly from its original form. You can recognize it by its rather bluish horn and body. If you evolve it into Burmadame, you can also only recognize the Shiny by the bluish skin color of the bug. With Moterpel, it is different.

This one is clearly different due to a bright yellow pair of wings and the blue decorations from the normal form.

Burmy and Burmadame in their different forms normal (left) and as Shiny right as well as Moterpel normal (right top) and as Shiny (left bottom)

Where can you find Burmy? Burmy is a wild Pokémon. You can find and catch it in the wild with a bit of luck. Especially in rain or at special events, like the color festival, you can spot it there. Occasionally, it also appears in special field research. However, Burmadame and Moterpel cannot be caught in the game for now; you can only evolve them.

Is Burmy strong? No, Burmy and its evolutions are not particularly strong. They are therefore not suitable for use in raids and the GO battle league. Here, you should rather opt for one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. We show you a selection in the following video:

Pokémon GO: The strongest attackers of all types in the video

Have you already completed your Burmy collection? And have you possibly caught one or another shiny specimen of the bug Pokémon? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.

Currently, a color festival is taking place in Pokémon GO, where you must complete a special collector’s challenge. We show you which 12 monsters you need for it and how to find them.

Austria explains Card Packs in FIFA as illegal – Could this also happen in Germany? We asked a lawyer

In Austria, FIFA packs have been classified as  “illegal gambling” We asked the well-known lawyer Christian Solmecke if such a ruling on loot boxes would also be conceivable in Germany.

What is happening in FIFA? Several Austrians had sued Sony in 2020, alleging that the company violated the Austrian gambling monopoly with the FIFA packs. The trial was then picked up 2 years later, in October 2022.

Now there is the ruling: The Hermagor court classifies the FUT packs as  “illegal gambling” on February 26, 2023. Sony has been ordered to refund payments amounting to €338.26. However, the ruling is not yet final – Sony still has the option to appeal (via Games Wirtschaft).

In the Netherlands, however, a court ruling against the loot box mechanism has been overturned.

More on the topic
FIFA 22: EA gets back 10 million because their loot boxes are not illegal gambling – Says court
von Max Handwerk

MeinMMO asked lawyer Christian Solmecke whether loot boxes in FIFA could also be classified as illegal in Germany. Solmecke specializes in Internet and media law. He runs a YouTube channel where law and gaming play a recurring role.

“Where there is no plaintiff, there is no judge”

MeinMMO: In Austria, the legal situation regarding gambling is different than in Germany. What are the rules in the neighboring country?

Solmecke: Gambling law is a matter for the federal government in Austria. In order for such activities to be legal in Austria, it is necessary that providers hold a valid license. Currently, due to the prevailing gambling monopoly, such a license can only be issued by the Austrian state. Should loot boxes be classified as gambling, loot boxes from providers without a license would be illegal. For them to be classified as gambling, it suffices under Austrian law that a purchase is made for something whose outcome primarily depends on chance and also has an economic value.

It is undisputed that the content of the “FIFA” packs depends on chance. The Austrian court also recognized that the “FIFA” packs constitute a “valuable service.” Therefore, in the court’s view, the loot boxes have a financial value, which is why they were classified as gambling. Since Sony as the defendant does not have a license in Austria, the court is convinced that the purchase contracts are invalid, allowing players to claim their bets back. By the way, the lawsuit was filed two years ago, but the ruling only came now.

MeinMMO: Why is there no such ruling in Germany yet?

Solmecke: Why there is currently no loot box ruling in Germany is a good question. The saying “Where there is no plaintiff, there is no judge” probably fits best here. However, I am sure that we can expect a ruling in Germany in the future. After all, the discussion is no less heated here.

Crucial for the classification as gambling in Germany is answering the question of whether the content of the boxes can be understood as a win in the sense of the gambling definition. If one assumes this, then the purchase of a loot box would be the acquisition of a chance to win. But that alone is still not enough. The potential win must also represent an economic value.

And here there are numerous open questions that are not yet conclusively answered. It is therefore entirely possible that loot boxes, depending on their design, could fall under gambling law in Germany and be classified as illegal. But the future will have to wait.

MeinMMO: How could developers or publishers protect themselves from falling under gambling law?

Solmecke: This question concerns an entire industry. The example of loot boxes shows how many pitfalls there are in reconciling chance mechanisms in computer games with gambling law. To navigate these safely, comprehensive legal advice is required in each case, since every manufacturer designs the implementation differently. Even the smallest missteps can have significant economic consequences.

What’s next for FIFA? The ruling in Austria leads to discussions about FIFA packs and loot boxes in general in video games. The decision of the Hermagor district court is described as a “sensational ruling” that could create waves throughout the industry.

So far, there are no restrictions on loot boxes in FIFA in Germany.

Regarding loot boxes, there have also been legal issues in the MMORPG Lost Ark: Could Lost Ark also be banned in Germany? We asked a lawyer

8 strong weapons in Destiny 2 that will give you a chance in the new Day-One raid of Lightfall

Also in Destiny 2: Lightfall will soon start the Day One Raid “Root of Nightmares”. To ensure you are well equipped, we have listed 8 weapons that you definitely should take with you in the raid.

When does the raid start? The raid “Root of Nightmares” starts on Friday, March 10 at 6:00 PM and ends 48 hours later on Sunday, March 12 at 6:00 PM. As the raid is just around the corner, we show you a recommendation of weapons that you should definitely consider during your run.

Start video
Destiny 2: Lightfall – Trailer-„Root of Nightmares“ raid race for World First

8 weapons that are important in the new raid for Lightfall

The focus was on selecting weapons that have proven to be very useful after the major sandbox changes by Bungie. We offer you the following examples as recommendations:

1. Izanagi’s Burden – Exotic Sniper Rifle

destiny-2-izanagis-bürde
Izanagi’s Burden

Why this weapon? Izanagi’s Burden is one of the most popular and strongest weapons in Destiny 2, allowing you to deal high damage in a short period. This is mainly due to its catalyst, as consuming a full magazine creates a power shot in your burden that causes enormous damage. The weapon can also be paired with a grenade launcher or rocket launcher.

Where do I get it? You can get the weapon from the Monument to Lost Lights in the Tower for a small material fee.

2. Succession – Legendary Machine Gun

Destiny-2-Korrekturmaßnahme
Succession (Adept)

Why this weapon? Succession is a very good choice, not for DPS, but rather for add-clear. Machine guns currently deal high damage, quickly decimate smaller foes and majors, and with the Void element, allow players to apply volatile shots. Therefore, Succession is well suited for this task with its existing perks.

Where do I get it? The MG is a random drop from the “Glass Chamber” Raid and can be obtained in the Conflux, Templar, or Atheon phase.

3. Witherhoard – Exotic Grenade Launcher

Destiny-2-Dürresammler
The Witherhoard

Why this weapon? The Witherhoard is still a strong option despite its nerf, if you want to deal damage over time or keep your opponents better at bay. Its catalyst allows the weapon to reload itself when stored. Therefore, it is worthwhile to alternate shooting a blight and then dealing damage with a heavy weapon until the effect needs to be reapplied.

Where do I get it? The grenade launcher can be obtained from the Monument to Lost Lights, provided you have the necessary materials.

4. Heatseeker – Legendary Rocket Launcher

Destiny-2-Hitzkopf-Adept
The Heatseeker (Adept)

Why this weapon? The Heatseeker is a very strong Legendary Rocket Launcher. Together with the perks “Targeting Module” and “Explosive Light”, you not only deal a large amount of damage but also ensure that your rockets never lose their target.

Where do I get it? Normally in Nightfalls; however, the Heatseeker is not in rotation in Season 20. You cannot focus decode the rocket launcher with engrams either.

5. Two-Winged Fox – Exotic Rocket Launcher

Destiny-2-Doppelschänziger-Fuchs
Two-Winged Fox

Why this weapon? The Two-Winged Fox received a catalyst with Lightfall. “Third Tail” allows you to fire three rockets instead of two. This rocket launcher can stun any champion that comes into your view with the catalyst.

Where do I get it? You can obtain the exotic randomly from exotic engrams or Xur.

6. Prospector – Exotic Grenade Launcher

Destiny-2-Prospektor
The Prospector

Why this weapon? The Prospector is indeed a strong choice in terms of DPS. Aztecross, a well-known weapon tester and streamer from Destiny 2 (via youtube.com), has reviewed some firearms for Lightfall, including Gjallarhorn, Two-Winged Fox, and even the Heavy Bow Leviathan’s Breath.

The result: All failed, and the Prospector alone could deal about 768,000 damage in a damage phase against the Templar. With a good slug shotgun or sniper, a lot of damage can be done.

Where do I get it? You can obtain the Prospector randomly from exotic engrams or Xur.

7. Vexcalibur – Exotic Glaive

vexcalibur-destiny2-exoglefe-Season20
Vexcalibur

Why this weapon? Vexcalibur can be obtained in a new exotic mission in the European Dead Zone. It is a glaive and a very good one, as it can greatly protect your team.

When you block incoming damage with Vexcalibur, you and your teammates nearby gradually receive a Void shield. This can be especially useful in critical situations, as Void shields are very resilient.

Where do I get it? You get the exotic from the secret mission “NODE.OVRD.AVALON”. This begins in the European Dead Zone, landing zone chasm. However, if you have already unlocked it, you can also start it via the map.

8. Gjallarhorn – Exotic Rocket Launcher

Destiny-2-Gjallarhorn
Gjallarhorn

Why this weapon? Gjallarhorn is a very good support weapon that equips other rocket launchers in your team with pack shots. So if you’re going into the DPS phase of a boss with rocket launchers, one or two people should definitely bring the horn.

Where do I get it? You can get the rocket launcher in the dungeon “Haunted Ruins” and through an exotic quest. However, you need to have the 30-year anniversary package from Bungie, which must be purchased separately.

Lastly, keep in mind: There are many weapons that can showcase their true strength in a good build and team. The main thing is that you have fun and decide for yourself with which weapons you can get the best out of it.

Do you have any favorites that you will take with you in the Day One raid? And with which class will you start? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments!

User wants to salvage Nvidia graphics card with “tiny” damage, ultimately has to scrap it

A user finds an RTX 3070 in the junk and wants to use it again. Although the damage is minuscule, the graphics card no longer works.

A user mainly deals with broken items. In a used computer, there is an RTX 3070, an Nvidia graphics card. However, it is damaged in a small spot on the circuit board. At first glance, it does not look too bad, as this part is neither used during installation in the computer nor is it obvious in everyday use.

After a first test, the user quickly realizes that the graphics card is not running. This is because there are parts damaged in the circuit board that are not immediately obvious at first glance. Repairing damage to the circuit board is often significantly more challenging than replacing a broken fan or dried thermal paste.

Circuit boards encounter you in many places, not just in graphics cards and motherboards, but also in consoles or smartphones. In many cases, important components, such as for interfaces, or necessary firmware are already integrated into the circuit boards.

In some cases, even a tiny switch can solve many problems:

von Benedikt Schlotmann

Damaged hardware should be returned

If you buy a graphics card sold as new, or a used GPU that is at least labeled as “like new,” you should ensure that the GPU is not damaged. If you notice external damages such as severe scratches on the circuit board, you should at least be warned. Because internal problems are often not visible at first glance.

Particularly, damages or scratches on the circuit board should be approached with caution, as damage often goes much deeper than just the surface. Conductive pathways run through the circuit board, which can be short-circuited or destroyed in the case of damage. With the naked eye, such problems are usually not visible.

Can such a thing also happen in everyday life? Such damages can occur if one is not careful. For example, forcing a graphics card into the designated slot or slipping with a screwdriver while mounting the motherboard.

Installed hardware usually does not sustain damage unless you install your hardware carelessly, such as forgetting/overlooking important screws when installing the motherboard.

Can such a thing be repaired? Repairing is often challenging but is possible in some cases, as someone explains in their user guide in the PCGamesHardware forum. Here, the severity of the damage also matters. In the worst case, some conductive paths might have short-circuited each other.

Some users are then less successful with their purchase. Because for the money, there usually is no hardware at all. How frustrating such situations can turn out can be read on MeinMMO:

Sons of the Forest strikes a hit with the first update – “They haven’t disappointed, good job”

The Steam hit Sons of the Forest has received its first content update in Early Access. MeinMMO gathers some reactions and sees a satisfied community.

Sons of the Forest made a huge splash upon its release on Steam. For the first two hours, you couldn’t even buy the new survival hit because the Steam servers couldn’t handle the surge.

Now the first content update has arrived, here are some of the highlights:

MeinMMO has been checking how the new update is received. We show you voices from the community, when the next update will come, and whether it’s worth checking back in. If you’re still looking for some starter tips for the game, check out our video:

5 Tips for a Good Start in Sons of the Forest

“Patch 1 – 10/10”

What are the reactions to the update? A look at the subreddit of Sons of the Forest quickly reveals that many players are very pleased with the update. There are hundreds of positive comments, such as that from user Neichin: “Patch 1 – 10/10” (via reddit.com).

This is also due to the fact that the developers did not raise expectations too high. Since the release, they have answered some questions about the future, but always made it clear: They are taking their time, wanting to make a cool game.

The comment from user Lampman28 symbolizes this (via reddit.com): “I only expected a few bug fixes, but this is a welcome surprise. They added much more than I expected in the first update. Good job, Endnight Games”.

Many users have their own highlights. User adam_nl celebrates that you can finally build treehouses, Mercy_CC is happy about the boss fight, am-345 is thrilled about the new wall gates (via reddit.com). And whoever has tried out the new glider is just flying for the time being:

Some negative voices criticize the heavy nerf of the shotgun. The powerful weapon lost half its damage, and some feel that the weakening is excessive. User Sors_Numine writes: “Argh, why did they nerf the shotgun so hard? […] It was my ultimate ‘disappear, I’m building here’ for cannibals”.

All in all, the update has been very well received by many players.

Is it worth checking back in? If you just finished a 20-hour run, it might be better to wait a few weeks before starting a new adventure. For a complete re-run, the changes are not comprehensive enough.

However, if you’re curious, you can experience the new content in an old save file. The mini-boss spawns in the corresponding bunker, and the new items can also be found. Find out here what else the developers have planned.

When will the next update come? Sons of the Forest plans to release a new content update every 2 or 4 weeks. You can already estimate whether it will be a larger or smaller update.

The current update came 2 weeks after release and is considered a small update. The next update will come on March 23 – again a 2-week patch.

Overall, Sons of the Forest is expected to remain in Early Access for 6 to 8 months. So quite a lot of new content is still coming our way by the end of 2023, as long as the developers maintain the content pace set by the first update. However, this still remains to be seen.

Fortnite: New map of Chapter 4 Season 2 has been revealed – All changes and POIs

In Fortnite you can finally play on the new map of Chapter 4 Season 2. However, to know what has changed, we will show it to you in our overview and take a closer look at all the changes.

What is happening in Fortnite right now? All players are currently stuck on the loading screen due to the server down and are eagerly waiting to finally be able to play Fortnite. The season is not yet out, but nonetheless the patch notes have surfaced. These detail the new locations in Season 2. We will show you what is new.

If you want to see the new trailers for Chapter 4 Season 2, we have just the thing for you:

Old map, but with a futuristic city

Has anything changed? Yes, a completely new area has developed in the southwest of the map.

Fortnite-Chapter-4-Season-2-Map
This is what the new map looks like

Following new POIs can be seen:

  • Kenjutsu Crossing
  • Knotty Nets
  • Mega City
  • Steamy Springs

The POIs are new places that have not appeared in any season or chapter. If you are near Mega City, feel free to visit Loot Lake. There, you will notice a floating surprise.

Why aren’t there multiple changes? Looking at the entire map, it becomes clear that in Season 2, aside from Mega City, nothing has happened. Places like Frenzy Fields or the Citadel are still intact and can be explored.

The story in Season 1 provided no significant reason for huge changes or a destruction of the map. Only a rift formed above a portal, which again threw different parts from different realities onto the map of Chapter 4.

What do you think of the map? Do you like it, or do you believe Epic Games should have done more and overhauled everything? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

Pokémon GO: “New” costumes for Eevee and Pikachu confuse trainers at the Easter event

  • This is how you can secure enough golden coins for Monetigo in one day
  • In Pokémon GO you can now catch Shiny Fletchling for a short time – Here’s how
  • Players are talking about the best deal since 2018 – Is the Super Raid Box worth it?
  • This is the costume trainers wish for: Many other trainers had hoped that this year there would be a completely new costume. In particular, they already have a concrete idea of what this could be for Pikachu: a bunny costume. Other trainers would be satisfied with a Pikachu with bunny ears or an Easter hat.

    What a Pikachu in an Easter costume might look like is shown by the Twitter user TeamSableye through a plush toy from the Pokémon Center. He writes (via twitter.com): “Since they like to use Pokémon Center plush toys as templates for costumes, maybe they should take this year’s Easter Pikachu, it’s super cute” and posts an appropriate image.

    https://twitter.com/TeamSableye/status/1633980258889113601?s=20

    Whether you will still be able to enjoy another cool costumed monster for the Easter event remains to be seen. Since the findings are not official data, the developers also have the option to change them or even decide against a release. However, as soon as there is official information on this, you will definitely find out here on MeinMMO.

    How do you like the new findings? Did you wish for a different costume as well? Or do you think it’s totally okay that Niantic is simply making minor changes to the flower crowns? Feel free to let us know in the comments and discuss this topic with other trainers.

    In the coming weeks, there will still be a lot going on in Pokémon GO. We will show you all the events in March and which are particularly worthwhile.

    Whether you will still be able to enjoy another cool costumed monster for the Easter event remains to be seen. Since the findings are not official data, the developers also have the option to change them or even decide against a release. However, as soon as there is official information on this, you will definitely find out here on MeinMMO.

    How do you like the new findings? Did you wish for a different costume as well? Or do you think it’s totally okay that Niantic is simply making minor changes to the flower crowns? Feel free to let us know in the comments and discuss this topic with other trainers.

    In the coming weeks, there will still be a lot going on in Pokémon GO. We will show you all the events in March and which are particularly worthwhile.

    In Pokémon GO new costumed monsters have been discovered for spring and the upcoming Easter season, but they are currently causing quite a confusion among trainers. What this is all about and which Pokémon players wish for instead, we have summarized for you here on MeinMMO.

    Which Pokémon are we talking about? In addition to the normal forms of Pokémon, trainers in Pokémon GO can occasionally encounter so-called costumed monsters. These are Pokémon that wear a special outfit, such as a hat or a scarf, for an event. Pikachu particularly loves to dress up, which is why there are now numerous different forms of the little electric mouse.

    Since the costumed monsters are usually only available in the game for a short time and some of them cannot be obtained again, they are especially interesting for collectors. This makes them quite rare, especially when they can also be caught as shiny.

    Now the PokeMiners, a group of data miners, have discovered new costumed Pokémon that, judging by their appearance, are likely intended for spring and the upcoming Easter holiday. But the design confuses trainers. We’ll show you why.

    Here you can see the crazy Pikachu collections some trainers have.

    These are the new costumes for Eevee and Pikachu

    As the reddit user PoGoNL reports in his current post, the PokeMiners have stumbled upon a dataset with new costumed Pokémon in their latest search in the source code. In a graphic released by the dataminers, Eevee and Pikachu along with their evolutionary stages can be seen with a flower crown.

    With this, Niantic apparently wants to welcome spring, which is why the flower crowns would fit perfectly for the Easter event in April. In previous years, the developers have chosen similar costumes for these events. For example, last year Togetic was found in the game with such a crown.

    What confuses trainers about the costumes? Those who have been playing Pokémon GO for a while will initially be baffled by the seemingly new costumes. Because somehow the new appearance seems somewhat familiar.

    Many trainers are currently wondering, like the Twitter user Buschin135 (via twitter.com): “Didn’t we already have these costumes?” And yes, Pikachu and Eevee have indeed been available in the past multiple times with a similar flower crown in the game. Both also spawned last during the Spring event 2022, around Easter, and could even evolve accordingly.

    What is different now? If you examine the new graphics more closely and compare them with the old flower crowns, you can see one or two tiny differences. For example, the flowers of the new costumes are noticeably more reddish than the ones from previous years.

    Moreover, this year the green leaves in the crown have been omitted, so there are only flowers to be seen. Additionally, the arrangement of the flowers has slightly changed. The differences are therefore negligible.

    This is also what the reddit user AnnieJack thinks, who can hardly tell the two variants apart (via reddit.com): “I opened the app and called up the existing Eevee with a crown. I switched back and forth between the apps and still couldn’t tell. […] It’s like the difference between Gengar and Shiny-Gengar, only that [Shiny-] Gengar at least has the little shimmering symbol. I will never be able to distinguish between these Eevee and Pikachu.”

    Trainers are disappointed – Hope for different costumes

    In the comments on Twitter and reddit, the supposedly new costumes are not having a positive reception at all. This is primarily because they hardly differ from the previous Eevee and Pikachu with flower crowns. Additionally, the ornaments are relatively small, making them difficult to recognize in overview. You can read the following comments (via reddit.com):

    This is the costume trainers wish for: Many other trainers had hoped that this year there would be a completely new costume. In particular, they already have a concrete idea of what this could be for Pikachu: a bunny costume. Other trainers would be satisfied with a Pikachu with bunny ears or an Easter hat.
