In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, players marched through the PvP area Cyrodiil to protest for peace in the real world. Hundreds participated and no one disturbed the action, even though there are currently bonus rewards in PvP. Players are now sharing screenshots and videos of the event.
What was this action all about? Under the title #ESOFamAgainstWar, hundreds of players gathered in the PvP area Cyrodiil and protested peacefully. Normally, the three factions fight there and try to take control of castles from one another.
But in light of the situation in Ukraine, hundreds of players decided to lay down their weapons and protest for peace. They held a march across the area and walked side by side, regardless of which faction they represented.
In keeping with this, there were slogans such as “PvP in Real Life is bad”, “For Peace”, or “In memory of the victims of war”.

Protests in PvP areas attract trolls, but this time it was absent
How did the action go? Calmly. Events in PvP areas often invite interruptions by players. Currently, there is even an event with double experience points in PvP.
However, the event took place without an incident. Even stupid comments in the chat were absent, which some of the organizers had feared. The players were able to protest together and peacefully for a better world.
Our expertise at MeinMMO relates to gaming. For those who want to delve deeper into the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, we recommend checking official pages or news magazines:
– Live blog about the events in Ukraine (via Zeit) – Announcements from the Foreign Office on the topic of Ukraine (via auswaertiges-amt) – Focus: War against Ukraine (via ard)
Are there these protests in other MMORPGs as well? Yes, in games like RuneScape or Tibia Online, players have protested for peace or for Ukraine.
In Final Fantasy XIV, there was also a protest organized by players. Here, dozens of players gathered wearing blue and yellow outfits – the colors of Ukraine:

However, the conflict in Ukraine is also occupying the gaming scene. There are reports about development studios from the country, fundraising streams are being held, and some are refraining from silliness out of respect, while others try to use exactly that for distraction.
How the German gaming streamers reacted to the current situation is summarized here:
The SWTOR expansion “Legacy of the Sith” is facing criticism. Can a single patch resolve the numerous issues of the MMORPG addon?
Star Wars: The Old Republic is one of the few MMORPGs that has managed to stay on the market for years. However, the celebration of the game’s 10th anniversary has more or less fallen flat. The latest expansion “Legacy of the Sith” received a rather “meh” response from players. This is primarily due to the numerous problems encountered with the new expansion:
A short story playtime of just under an hour
Redesign of the interface, which appears unfinished and less appealing
Numerous changes to classes and guild banks
These three and many other issues have been hotly debated in the forum since the release of the new expansions. For the first few days, there was silence in response to this criticism from BioWare, but a few days ago, community manager “Jackie” made a statement.
What was said? Jackie is trying to calm the waters in the SWTOR community:
We received your feedback last week, read your posts and messages on various platforms. The team has been working on fixing the bugs you reported and making adjustments that will improve the gaming experience.
As mentioned in another post, we are currently finalizing the details about when the next patch will be released. It will also include adjustments for the interface contrast and other bug fixes. As soon as we have the information, we will share it with the entire player base, including the info about when the patch will be deployed. […]
At least it’s clear: The players’ concerns are being heard, and there are plans in progress.
Players are angry about the long silence: Most players seem to be bothered by the developers’ silence for several days regarding the issues that have arisen. For a long time, it was unclear whether and what would be changed. Many see this lack of communication as the biggest weakness and another source of frustration. As bcnsmom wrote in the official SWTOR forum:
[…] You have also been silent about the origin of further frustration and anger.
Why are you silent on a topic that you implemented and that hurts us players? I do not understand. This is extremely hurtful for all who have been so loyal to you, to be treated this way now.
When is the patch coming? There is still no exact release date for the patch, although it is clear that the remaining players are eagerly waiting for it. It seems as if SWTOR has to recover from this expansion first, because BioWare clearly has not hit the mark with it, a view shared by our author Alexander Leitsch:
The hardcore action RPG Elden Ring doesn’t just kill you with brutal bosses. Even seemingly kind gestures, like a hug, can hide a deadly ambush. Read here on MeinMMO what a seemingly harmless gesture can cause.
What kind of hug is it about? After you have slain the first boss Margit in Elden Ring, (and sometimes even before that), you receive an invitation to the Roundtable Hold. There you can find all sorts of useful merchants and other services. Among them is a seemingly harmless woman with a gentle voice named Fia.
She apparently doesn’t mean any harm. Quite the opposite, she would love to hug your hero and feel his “warmth.” That sounds a bit creepy, but it is supposed to come with a blessing.
What happens when you get cuddled? The seemingly kindness of Fia has its price. Because in the next fight, you will see a debuff icon by your life energy. This is reduced by 5 percent.
The source is apparently Fia and her hug. Her strange talk about warmth seems to refer to your vitality, which the lady has presumably taken. This might have to do with her strange title “Deathbed Companion,” which sounds a bit like an (active) death companion.
How do you get rid of it? The debuff seems to be permanent, neither dying, resting, nor any other methods seem to help. And even if 5 percent doesn’t sound like much, it can make the difference between victory or defeat in the brutally challenging boss fights.
Moreover, there is a remedy against the hug of death.
You receive a “Blessing of the Elden Stars” for the cuddle session, which is in your inventory. When you use it, you get a temporary bonus to poise. And the debuff is also gone (although this is not stated on the item itself).
What’s the benefit? Is Fia then a nasty trap that weakens you and ultimately kills you? Not really, as her intentions seem to be pure.
You have to be careful whether you really want the blessing, as it is especially useful before tough boss fights when the attacks of the bosses regularly trip you up.
So think carefully whether you really need this right now and hug Fia only if you want a blessing.
At the start of the new season “Alola Season,” Pokémon GO wants to get you outside more often and is adjusting the bonuses accordingly. We at MeinMMO will show you what changes are coming and why your incense is now “bad.”
What changes are we talking about? Today in Pokémon GO the Alola Season begins, bringing you many new Pokémon, cool research tasks, and numerous events. However, it also brings a change to the exploration bonuses, which will focus on raids and incense.
Niantic has been emphasizing for some time that they want to return to their original game concept and get people outside more. Now, with the change in bonuses, the first steps in this direction are to be taken. We show you what to expect.
Incense is worse at home, you should move
The announced changes refer to the exploration bonuses that were introduced in the past. These are now to be further expanded. The following special features await you with the start of the Alola Season on March 1st (via pokemongolive.com):
Increased effectiveness of incense when you move
One incense now lasts 90 minutes
Two free raid passes daily from spinning gyms
These changes don’t sound that bad. After all, the incense now lasts significantly longer than before, and most players will not say no to the two free raid passes.
However, these changes to the exploration bonuses also come with a significant disadvantage.
Warning – Your incense is now really bad if you don’t move
Due to the increased effectiveness of incense while moving and its longer duration, there is also a limitation: The increased effectiveness of incense while stationary is eliminated.
The fact that you could previously utilize higher incense effectiveness while stationary is originally due to the Corona bonuses that were implemented because of the pandemic and the associated lockdowns.
Thus, trainers could also play from home and catch many Pokémon. However, with the start of the new season, that is now over, and you will only attract a few monsters with incense from your home sofa.
If you have frequently played from home over the past months, you will notice a significant difference with incense now. The spawn rate while stationary is now only about one monster every 5 minutes. So, to use your incense effectively, you will now have to go outside again.
This is what the community says about the changes
The new changes are also hotly debated in the reddit community. In particular, the degradation of incense effectiveness while stationary is a major topic. Most trainers are not thrilled about it and are already saying goodbye to their incense. You can read the following comments there (via reddit.com):
foladar: “The incense effectiveness while stationary will be removed. Does that mean again 1 spawn per 5 minutes? If so, RIP incense.”
BKoldcuts: “Sounds like it really is going back to the 1/5 rate, incredibly disappointing. Going from 40 spawns in 60 minutes to 18 in 90 minutes. I understand what they are trying to do, but this is the same mistake they made with interaction distance.”
xristosxi393: “Walking for 90 minutes with frequent breaks to catch Pokémon sounds exhausting. It seems Niantic’s idea of how the game should be played is once again clashing with how players want to play.”
Plus-Pomegrante8045: “This really annoys me! What about those of us who walk long distances every day, even in winter when it’s uncomfortable, and just want to use incense at home for an hour or at night when they were already out during the day? Why are we being punished? I’m so angry about this.”
As the comments on reddit also show, many have utilized the higher incense effectiveness during Community Days or Spotlight Hours. For this reason, some also have concerns regarding the spawn rate.
Is there a chance that Niantic will reinstate the bonus?
Indeed, Niantic has faced criticism from players for such changes before. Already in August 2021 trainers wrote an open letter that circulated through social media as the interaction radius to gyms and PokéStops was to be reduced again.
The player backlash was successful, and Niantic eventually increased the interaction radius permanently to 80 meters. Whether Pokémon GO will also accommodate trainers regarding the limitations of incense effectiveness while stationary remains to be seen.
As Niantic has communicated through their Pokémon GO blog, they will continue to monitor the process of these bonus adjustments and make changes if necessary.
What do you think of the changes to get more people outside? Have you been using incense primarily while stationary in recent months? Or are you not bothered by the retraction of the increased effectiveness and rather looking forward to the free raid passes? Let us know in the comments on MeinMMO.

Lost Ark has announced a new update for this week, expected to be released on Thursday. The focus is on the Guardian Raids and Abyss Dungeons of Tier 1 and Tier 2, which are set to be toned down.
What does Amazon plan for the patch? According to Community Manager Roxx, the difficulties of the endgame content are currently a hot topic of discussion. There are indeed several posts in the forum complaining about the difficulty of the dungeons and raids.
Therefore, Amazon is planning to tone down Tier 1 content (up to Gearscore 600) and Tier 2 content (up to Gearscore 1,100) to make it easier.
When will the patch be released? The update is supposed to be applied during the “weekly maintenance”. This has always taken place on Thursday. Therefore, the update is expected to be released on March 3.
Start video
Everything you need to know about Lost Ark’s endgame – in the video
Nerf of 6 Raids and 4 Dungeons Planned
Which contents are being nerfed? The following Guardian Raids will be affected:
Vertus
Nacrasena
Flame Fox Yoho
Tytalos
Achates
Alberhastic
Additionally, the 4 Abyss Dungeons will also be toned down:
Necromancer’s Origin
Hall of the twisted Warlord
Hilderbrandt Palace
Sea of Indolence
However, there are still no concrete patch notes about what changes will be made.
What else does the patch bring? The weekly update is expected to bring further changes, although these have not yet been announced. For new content, it is still too early.
New content patches are expected to be released about every two months, so you can expect new content in early April.
How are the planned changes received? Whenever the difficulty of content is changed, it is controversially discussed. Many players who have already completed the content before the nerf don’t want others to have it easier.
However, almost all players agree: The health points of the bosses could be reduced. The sometimes very challenging mechanics should remain, at least according to some users on the forum and reddit:
FreakoFreako writes: ‘Abyss doesn’t need a nerf. The mechanic/difficulty is my favorite aspect of the game. And after playing it a few times, it becomes easy because you get used to it. But I would love a HP nerf for the Guardian Raids. Not the damage/mechanic, just the damn HP nerf. It’s not hard, it’s just boring and you have to do it twice a day with each character.’
The same sentiment is echoed by the user Graveylock: ‘Guardian HP nerf is perfectly fine, but players need to stop being too bad for Abyss Dungeons.’
However, some players are also concerned that the nerf could negatively impact T3 content. As players will have it easier in the old dungeons, they might be overwhelmed by new mechanics.
Vinnie1135 sees the problem less in the difficulty than in the attitude of the players:
People who go in with minimal gear level and ignore all mechanics and treat it like a leveling dungeon boss. And then they wonder why they get rolled over. They could literally do any other T1 content/islands and be overqualified for this content within a week.
What do you think about the nerf to the Guardian Raids and Abyss Dungeons? Is it really necessary or should players pull themselves together and farm gear if necessary?
If you want to perfect your build, you can find important information about the engravings:
Due to a glitch, players of Call of Duty: Warzone are currently building completely overpowered weapons without recoil – the developers respond within hours.
When observing hardcore speedrunners of classic games like Zelda on the N64, one can often witness a choreographed dance of glitches.
Sometimes one thinks – how were such things discovered? Who took the time to explore the game’s errors so deeply?
With the latest glitch in Call of Duty: Warzone, a similar thought arises. Through a crazy sequence of specific actions, attachments can be built on weapons that are not actually intended for them.
This leads to completely overpowered setups without recoil and guilt.
Glitch allows more attachments – also mixes CoD eras
What kind of error is this? The glitch allows players to transfer attachments of a held weapon in the match to another weapon in their own loadout.
This leads to excessively strong weapons, as especially the newer Vanguard weapons have a few extremely strong attachments that are not available for every weapon.
We have embedded a Twitter clip here, showing how extremely stable some weapons can be built thanks to this:

However, it’s not just about Vanguard weapons. The guns from Cold War and CoD MW can also be “upgraded” with this method – not without breaking the rules, of course.
How does it work? We will refrain from providing instructions for this glitch. However, the sequence of actions, as mentioned, falls into the category: “How does one discover such things?”
Will it stay that way? A few hours after the glitch made its rounds through the CoD community, the developers from Raven Software already responded to the issue.
On Twitter, the devs write:

Tweet translation: “We are investigating a problem that inadvertently allows weapon attachment perks to be transferred between weapons.”
The developers are currently investigating the issue and will provide a solution as quickly as possible. However, it cannot be said for sure how long this will take. It is possible that the glitch will remain in the game for over a week or will be removed as early as this week.
It remains to be seen how extensively the glitch will be used by players to turn otherwise useless weapons into OP weapons.
Especially the new Vanguard perks like “Careful Aim” or “Stable Grip” could cheat old weapons into huge potential. But also “Dexterity” on a Kar 98k from CoD MW would have strong effects.
Some items in World of Warcraft get better day by day. We will introduce you to two of them – because you might easily miss them.
Zereth Mortis is the current endgame zone of World of Warcraft. The system around the ciphers, numerous rare spawns, and a lot of cool unlocks for the Pocopoc unit is well-received by many players. However, some aspects can be quite annoying – especially the jumping puzzles and grinding for more ciphers.
However, WoW helps you with that – but this help is often overlooked. We show you two items that are likely gathering dust in your bags but are really useful.
We are talking about effects that can be on your cipher gear. You can get this gear pretty much anywhere in Zereth Mortis. It drops from certain rare enemies, can be found in treasures, or is offered to you as a quest reward.
Two of these effects are particularly interesting:
Equipping: Activates the dimensional translators to overcome great distances in the outskirts of the Shadowlands.
Equipping: Enhances Pocopoc’s perception abilities to find additional hidden chests.
Depending on your armor class, these effects can be found on different items. For cloth, they are found on bracers and shoulders, while for leather, mail, and plate, they are on different slots.
Dimensional Translators
What do dimensional translators do? Items with this effect can be used every 90 seconds to jump to a target. The pure distance gain is not very interesting – much more exciting is that you can also move upwards and downwards with it, allowing you to climb pillars you otherwise couldn’t reach. The ability resembles a warrior’s heroic leap.
What do upgrades do? The upgrades to the cipher console ensure that the distance you can cover with the item gradually increases. At the start, it’s just a few meters, but with each upgrade, it gets more, allowing you to climb seemingly insurmountable cliffs.
Surely, the item will lose significance once flying is possible in Zereth Mortis – but until then, you should always have an armor piece with this bonus on you.
Unless, of course, you are Venthyr. The signature ability of the Venthyr serves the same purpose, but it is tied to the covenant.
More current news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
What do Pocopoc’s perception abilities do? As long as you have items with this bonus equipped, you can find additional treasures. They often have the term “Forgotten” in their designation, such as “Forgotten Treasure Chest”. These chests contain the usual loot from Zereth Mortis, including some ciphers, cosmic flux, anima, and more.
But remember to instruct your Pocopoc to look out for special items so he can alert you to these treasures more often.
Chests like this can only be found with a corresponding upgrade.
What do upgrades do? Upgrades ensure that significantly more chest spawns can be seen. At level 1, you might find 2-3 more chests per day. However, by level 3, this number increases significantly, and during our 2-hour stay in Zereth Mortis, we could find a whopping 10 additional chests, which means more ciphers.
By the way: The chests are not subject to a “daily lockout” – so you can find and collect the same chest spawn multiple times a day.
Items get better day by day
How does the upgrade work? The upgrade happens more or less incidentally while you invest your ciphers into upgrades for Pocopoc. Once you have spent a certain amount of ciphers, the strength of your cipher gear increases.
On the top left, you can see how many ciphers are still necessary for the upgrade.
You can check the upgrade level of your items at the cipher console. The display is located at the top left of the selection screen for your research. When you hover your mouse over the text “cipher equipment level”, you can see how many ciphers you still need to invest in research to unlock the next level and further increase the effectiveness of the items.
In plain terms: The more ciphers you invest in your research, the more chests you find and the further you can jump. It may be worth equipping items with these bonuses, even if your item level is lower than what you usually wear.
Have you also equipped these items? Or do you have no desire to deal with Zereth Mortis when you can soon fly?

Today, the new expansion End of Dragons for Guild Wars 2 was released. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch has already tested it in advance and is especially thrilled by the story. He explains why it is so good. The article avoids major story spoilers, such as character names, but shares small anecdotes from the missions.
With End of Dragons, Guild Wars 2 receives several innovations, including the areas from Cantha, a new mount, new elite specializations, and new legendary weapons. While the overall scope seems quite good, my expectations were rather low. I anticipated a “business as usual” approach similar to the last two seasons of the Living World and wasn’t very hyped.
However, after 20 hours in the new expansion, I am positively surprised. The story has reached a new high point for me, clearly surpassing the other two expansions.
Because the new characters from Cantha are extremely well-written, and ArenaNet mostly avoided filler tasks like “Complete heart X and do event Y.” Additionally, there were some quirky scenes that caught me off guard in a positive way.
The story has a total scope of about 8 to 10 playing hours, depending on how actively one pursues it and how much one takes from the rest of the world.
Who is speaking here? Alex is the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO. He has over 8,000 hours in Guild Wars 2 and has run the fansite Guildnews.de for many years. In a special preview event, he has already spent over 20 hours in End of Dragons.
If we had simply traveled to Cantha and everyone on the island didn’t care at all, I would have been very disappointed.
But the world is believable. There are ministers and residents who think little of the Tyrians. There are also many people who have never seen an Asura or Sylvari and react with corresponding curiosity to our arrival.
The explanation for why the Canthan leadership is not so negatively inclined towards us anymore is also understandable: The younger daughter is now the Empress, and she is open-minded, unlike the late father.
Start video
Guild Wars 2: Everything you need to know about the new expansion End of Dragons in under 3 minutes
The world feels very realistic overall, which Guild Wars 2 has not been to this extent before. In one scene, for example, I dine with well-known personalities and discuss our future plans over fresh eel. In another, we eat noodles to cure the hangover from the night before.
Sometimes it’s the everyday things that make the world believable.
A lot of action, little filler
The story of End of Dragons picks up speed right from the start. We fight on airships against the Aetherblades, without a big explanation as to why this is happening and where the journey is headed. I really like this.
After that, we constantly have something to do, and fortunately, ArenaNet has avoided many filler tasks. I only have to complete heart quests three times throughout the whole story, and twice I have to participate in events. This is acceptable for the overall scope of the story and was much worse in many of the Living World Season 3 and 4 content.
Positively, there are no story blockers, as was the case in the early days of Heart of Thorns, where you had to level certain masteries. All masteries in End of Dragons are purely optional. However, they bring cool innovations like the Jade Bot.
The Jade Bot is a companion with many different functions.
Funny moments that caught me off guard
Throughout the story, there are several scenes where I couldn’t help but grin. One example you encounter early in the story when you need a pass. For this, you are sent to the corresponding ministry.
In the ministry, you then have to take a waiting ticket and… wait. Just like in real life. Moreover, the ministry complains about incorrectly filled documents or is pleased with the correct execution of your task, as is typical for a government agency.
Even the hologram messages that are constantly running and repeatedly report on me and my activities are very appealing to me.
End of Dragons will not trigger a huge hype but is a must for veterans
End of Dragons has already provided me with a lot of fun. There are interesting twists, dramatic moments, and a magnificent ending. But that is only one part of the expansion.
Also, in terms of features, End of Dragons is more than acceptable. Especially the fishing, the new Jade Bots, and the elite specializations ensure that you have some new tasks in the rest of the world of Guild Wars 2, such as achievements for old areas or a fresh breeze in PvP. The new assault missions, which will later receive a challenge mode, sound good.
I firmly believe that the expansion can keep me busy for about 50 to 150 hours. And that is worth the 30 euros to me. With that, Guild Wars 2 will hardly reach new heights, but it will certainly satisfy the veterans.
In the coming days and weeks, we will provide you with several guides for the expansion here on MeinMMO, including achievements from the story, guides to jumping puzzles, or the new ranger pets.
Everything about the new expansion has been summarized for you here:
On March 1, 2022, the new season called “Alola Season” will start in Pokémon GO and will directly bring an event for Gen 7. We at MeinMMO will show you which new spawns, bonuses, and special features you can expect in the coming weeks.

One bonus will be disabled: However, you will also have to do without a bonus that you could previously use in the new season. Niantic wants to bring the game back to its roots and therefore will disable the following bonus as of March 1, 2022, at 10 AM local time:
Incense is no longer as effective when standing

How do you find the spawns, bonuses, and events of the Alola Season? Which monster do you like the most? And which bonus do you not want to miss? Feel free to share your thoughts here on MeinMMO in the comments and engage with other trainers.
The Community Day in March 2022 at Pokémon GO features Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew and brings you an egg bonus. We show you all the contents of the event with dates and Shinies.
What’s new? In line with the announcement of the new Alola season, Niantic finally revealed more details about the upcoming Community Day. It will take place in March featuring the mouse Pokémon Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew. Additionally, there are the special moves Night Slash and Dark Claw that the Pokémon can learn.
Here we show you everything you need to know about the C-Day in March.
C-Day in March 2022 – All Info
When does it start? The Community Day with Sandshrew will take place on Sunday, March 13, 2022. The dates for the C-Days in March, April, and May have already been announced by Niantic. On March 13, the event will again run from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, just as you are used to.
Which Pokémon are there? Sandshrew and Alolan Sandshrew. Both can be caught in their shiny form with some luck. In the graphic, you can see how the shiny Pokémon differ from the normal version.
Sandshrew and Sandslash as well as Alolan Sandshrew and Alolan Sandslash in shiny comparison
What special moves are available? If you evolve Sandshrew during the event or up to two hours later into Sandslash, Sandslash will learn the charge move Night Slash. It deals 50 damage in trainer battles, raids, and gym battles.
If you evolve Alolan Sandshrew during the event or up to two hours later into Alolan Sandslash, then Alolan Sandslash will learn the fast move Dark Claw. It deals 6 damage in trainer battles and 9 damage in raids and gym battles.
What event bonuses are there? During the event, a bonus will affect your eggs in the incubators. If you place eggs in incubators during the Sandshrew C-Day, they will hatch four times faster. Additionally, lures and incense will last for three hours and you will receive surprise encounters from snapshots.
What do we know about the 1€ ticket? As always, there is also a ticket available in the shop for about 1€ to unlock a special research. This time it is called “Sand and Snow” and refers to the two Sandshrew forms. Generally, you are supposed to catch and send a certain amount of Pokémon and land special throws to be rewarded. Before the start of the event, you will find an article here on MeinMMO with all the contents of the ticket.
Event boxes: In the shop, you will find a box for 1280 coins that provides you with 50 Ultra Balls, 3 Super Incubators, 5 Lucky Eggs, and a charged TM. There is also a free box with 30 Ultra Balls.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands brings back the most powerful items in the game: Legendaries. With the current patch 9.2, you can now wear a second legendary item at the same time. MeinMMO tells you which Legendary is best suited for which class.
[toc]
What are Legendaries? Legendary equipment items have special properties that can improve your abilities or even change your playstyle. Legendaries are the strongest items in the game.
In Legion, you had to rely on luck to get the right Legendary for your specialization. In Shadowlands, you can create them easily with the properties you want.
However, the crafting process is very complex, and upgrading Legendaries takes even longer. With Patch 9.2 “The End of Eternity”, the system has changed slightly again.
Update from February 28, 2022: Patch 9.2 went live on February 23 and introduces the ability to wear a second legendary item. However, this is only possible after completing the campaign in the new area of Zereth Mortis.
Our recommendations always refer to the Legendary that you can wear in addition to “Unity”!
The second Legendary is the pure “Covenant Legendary”, that is, the legendary effect that strengthens your respective Covenant ability. After unlocking the “Unity” effect, you can build the Legendary in any slot, and it changes with your Covenant. In our guide, you can read which Covenant is best for your class.
We have consulted with experts from wowhead, Icy Veins, and the individual class Discords to compile a list of the best Legendaries for each class and specialization, including locations where you can find the ability (via wowhead.com and icy-veins.com)

Crafting Legendaries – Quick Guide
How to craft Legendaries: We have a detailed guide on how to craft Legendaries ready for you. Here’s the short version. If you want to craft Legendaries, you need some materials:
a legendary base armor from crafting professions
Soul Ash from Torghast or from adventures from the Mission Table
Soul Cinders can be obtained in Torghast starting from level 9 (new with Patch 9.1)
You can get Cosmic Flux in Torghast, the Gauntlet, and also from rare enemies, chests, and the campaign in Zereth Mortis
Legendaries are crafted at the Rune Trader in Torghast.
Where do I get the effects? The memories are obtained through specific activities. We have added the corresponding source directly to the individual Legendaries. You must bring the memory to the Rune Trader in Torghast. From then on, you have it permanently.
More Guides to Shadowlands
If you want to get started properly in Shadowlands, the right Legendary is a good start but not everything. With the introduction of the Covenants, another important mechanic has come into play that you should utilize.
Additionally, addons can help you improve your rotations or maintain clarity in combat. We have already presented the 9 best addons for Shadowlands on MeinMMO.
If you are planning to level a new character or a Twink, you should not hesitate or worry about whether you can quickly reach the “endgame”. Legendaries can now be upgraded faster and more easily – except for the higher ranks. Only the raw materials may be a bit expensive at first. However, equipment in general is now obtained faster:
With Patch 9.2, Shadowlands is slowly but surely coming to an end. The expansion received only 2 major updates – but that was always planned according to the director:
Horizon: Forbidden West is the latest exclusive for PS4 and PS5. Now many are wondering whether the game really needs a PS5 at all.
This is Horizon Forbidden West: The sequel to the acclaimed open-world game Horizon Zero Dawn continues the story of the outcast Nora hunter Aloy. In a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by primitive tribes of humans and wondrous machines in animal form, she seeks answers to her many questions.
A new exclusive title: Horizon: Forbidden West is one of the few titles that are only being released for PS4 and PS5. Even though the PS5 has been around for a year now, there are hardly any exclusive games for the PS5.
What are the differences between PS4 and PS5? The biggest differences lie mainly in resolution and framerate. The higher the framerate, the smoother the game runs on your TV. And here the faster hardware
PS5: Optionally 4K and 30 FPS or 1800p and 60 FPS.
PS4 Pro: 1800p and 30 FPS.
PS4: Full HD and 30 FPS.
You can especially feel the FPS limitation during fast movements. If you turn quickly in the game, 30 FPS feels significantly slower than 60 FPS.
How noticeable are the differences? You can also see these differences between the two console generations in a YouTube video. At minute 3:30, you can clearly see the difference between 30 and 60 FPS.

By the way, anyone who buys the game for PS4 and later happens to get a PS5 can also fully utilize the game on PS5. Because with Horizon: Forbidden West, you get the free upgrade to PS5 at no extra cost. For future games, you will pay 10 euros for the upgrade.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Horizon: Forbidden West also looks impressive on PS4
What do the users say? Many users have now been able to play Horizon: Forbidden West on both PS4 and PS5. Users are already discussing the game on reddit.com.
Many users praise how good the game looks on PS4, even though the PS4 is already several years old. There are a few bugs and occasionally textures that pop in suddenly, but otherwise the game runs smoothly and without issues:
“The game runs well on my [PS4] Pro, the graphics are still beautiful. A few minor bugs, but they don’t ruin the experience.”
“I’ve tried to get a PS5 but haven’t found one, so I’m playing on my PS4 and it looks fantastic and runs great. I occasionally notice a few frame drops, but they are minimal and not very frequent. The delayed loading of the maps is the only real annoyance for me, the popping of the textures doesn’t bother me much either.”
Another user adds that he is currently not interested in a PS5, even though he could play Forbidden West with slightly better graphics and shorter loading times (via reddit.com).
Some gamers also explain that the game is supposed to offer the best experience on PS4 Pro. On the old PS4, the game runs significantly slower and there are significantly more frame drops.
Don’t want to give up your PS4? There is also exciting news for other users who don’t want to part with their PS4 just yet. Because there is more information about the Game Pass that Sony is apparently preparing for its PlayStation consoles. You can find all the information about the “PS Game Pass” here on MeinMMO:
If you roam through Destiny 2 in Savathun’s Throne World, you’ll occasionally discover some strange buildings that have the typical look of Darkness. These are part of a brand new Public Event that came with the new DLC. We explain what to do in the Escort Event and how to trigger it heroically.
Each Public Event in Destiny 2 is unique. They start at timed intervals at every location in the Destiny universe. Players can join at any time and must complete various tasks to earn a reward. It’s no different in Savathun’s Throne World.
If you’re lucky, you might even score an exotic engram in rare cases
Most of the time, you accidentally stumble into a Public Event, which can be quite confusing. Often, it’s not just about killing enemies, but also completing small tasks. So if you have no idea, you might miss a great opportunity.
To ensure you always know what to do, especially how to trigger the latest event in Destiny 2 heroically, we have a brief guide for you.
The event “tours” regularly through the Throne World.
Savathun’s Throne World has three Public Events
With the release of the successful expansion “The Witch Queen,” Bungie has now brought a new mini-adventure into the game. Along with the “Ether Ritual” of the Scorn and the “Witch Ritual” of the Taken, the secret weapon technique of Darkness is now included.
The Public Event is also the first Escort Event in Destiny 2. It invites players to a different kind of sightseeing tour with enemies and a tough final boss.
What is the new event about? The event “Resonance Shard” revolves around an illegal cargo transport. Once the event starts, players must escort a Resonance Shard, a type of pyramid superweapon, through a set route in the Throne World. However, the Scorn wants to prevent the Guardians from destroying the shard. Therefore, numerous Scorn enemies await along the way to the checkpoints, trying to hinder you.
Where can you find the new Public Event? If you want to participate in the Escort Event, the best place to check is the courtyard area on the east side in the Swamp. Additionally, the event also starts in the southern part of the Miasma area in Savathun’s Throne World.
Players in Destiny 2 are currently often roaming through Savathun’s Throne World and the Enclave on Mars to uncover all secrets. The first exotic missions are already known and reward players with three new weapon exotics.
These are the new weapon exotics from Destiny 2: Witch Queen:
When the event starts, the triangular sled with the shard appears at the start. Several buildings of Darkness will also materialize in the area. The goal of the players participating in the event is to escort the shard to its destination as quickly as possible.
Always stay close to the shard and defend it. You can recognize the shard by a faint orange circle around it. Only if you are within this circle does the sled move forward. Many players also enjoy jumping directly onto the sled and killing the Scorn enemies that spawn before them from there. It’s also a great way to enjoy the view.
After a certain distance, the shard will then stop in front of a large orange dome. It cannot pass through. So get off and jump into the dome. There, among many nasty Scorn foes, you will see three small shards of Darkness that you must destroy.
The shards are always in the same place at each event and can be shot down with any weapon. But hurry, as the event is timed.
There are a total of three stops, including a final destination, for the Resonance Shard sled. Repeat the dome game until you reach the endpoint, a platform with two pillars.
The sled will now automatically drive onto this platform, and numerous Scorn enemies will spawn around it, which you need to clear out. Protect the shard until it has parked and delivered its cargo. After that, the sled takes off into the air, ending the event.
The shard has reached the endpoint, where it explodes.
How to trigger the Public Event “Resonance Shard” heroically
Of course, you can also trigger a heroic variant of the “Resonance Shard” event. This yields better loot and more experience points at the end.
Heroic variant rewards you better: To play the new event heroically, you need to pay attention to a small detail.
While escorting the sled through the Throne World, some enemies drop small orange orbs that you can collect. These are Resonance Charges.
So grab the orbs whenever possible and throw them at the shard. Typically, 5-6 orbs are enough for the event to switch to heroic mode.
How do you throw a Resonance Charge? On PC, you use the right mouse button to throw the Resonance Charge orbs. On the console, use the standard throw button. However, keep in mind that the orbs should be collected quickly from the ground, as they disappear after a certain period.
In Nexxoss Gaming’s video, you can watch the entire process of the event unfold heroically again.

Have you tried the latest event in Destiny 2 yet? What do you think about the fresh wind? Would it be nice to have a few more like it to keep the open-world experience varied? Let us know which of the three Public Events in the Throne World you personally like best.

The Twitch streamer Macaiyla “Macaiyla” Edwards (23) is closely associated with League of Legends. She is also the girlfriend of the biggest LoL streamer Tyler1 and was recently part of the US team Cloud9. But in recent days, a difficult situation escalated after she tweeted about the Ukraine war.
What was that “joke”? The Twitch streamer Macaiyla tweeted on February 23:
“Kanye would stop the war if he were president. True.”
She was referring to the rapper Kanye West, who she apparently jokingly believed could end the war in Ukraine.
The tweet triggered a flood of further comments (via inven)
Streamer says her team forced her to delete the tweet
These were the consequences of the tweet: Some users found this tweet tasteless. One Twitter user said they had family in Ukraine who are severely affected by the war. They did not find this tweet funny.
Shortly thereafter, the tweet disappeared.
The streamer said her organization, Cloud9, forced her to delete the tweet. However, she didn’t see it that way because she herself found the tweet hilarious.
Streamer says she’s only in it for the money for her “hopefully future children”
How the streamer escalated: Macailya said it wasn’t her job to make her followers feel good. Macailya wants to remind them that she is “somebody’s girlfriend” and doesn’t care about her followers. She’s only here for the money.
“I don’t care if I’m a bitch or ugly or nothing without Tyler. You’re not wrong about that. You’re 100% right. I’m here to make money for my kids, which I hope to have one day. I’m not going to worry about any online guys. It’s all about the money for me. Just give me the money and get lost. Sorry.”
Macailya then opened a poll asking whether she should leave Cloud9 or not. After 66.4% voted for her exit, she said she asked Cloud9 for permission to leave the team.
She had been with Cloud9 as a content creator since summer 2021.

Previously, Macailya had indirectly criticized Cloud9’s decision to fire coach LS just hours before a professional match on Twitter. She called LS “the hardest working guy she had ever seen.”
Macailya said fans have every right to criticize Cloud9. Such a blatant criticism of an employer on social media is actually a taboo. This suggests that there have been tensions between Macailya and Cloud9 recently.
The community of Tyler1 is also Macaiyla’s community – and they are very harsh in their interactions. There are many flames and insults. Macaiyla is regularly attacked by her viewers.
The streamer lives relatively isolated and rural with LoL streamer Tyler1 in the state of Missouri in the USA. Tyler1’s life, and thus Macaiyla’s life, revolves around League of Legends, gaming, and Twitch. As reported by the Washington Post, Macaiyla actually wants a “relatively normal” life, would like to have a family, and work as a cashier in a store (via washingtonpost).
As a Twitch streamer, she earns about $200,000 a year but says:
“I don’t care if I lose all my followers tomorrow. It means nothing. I miss people, human interaction, seeing their emotions on their faces.”
The Post article states: Macaiyla actually wants to get married soon, move to a big city, and have three to five kids. But Tyler hates any kind of change and wants to stay in rural Missouri.
Macaiyla and her boyfriend and partner, Tyler1, at one of the rare occasions they showed themselves publicly:
Macaiyla says she feels guilty living in Tyler’s shadow, but the money is just too good to stop. She knows many people in their 20s, even those with college degrees, who have bad jobs and huge college debts.
She streams in a “windowless room” in the basement, and her fans enjoy insulting her.
According to Macaiyla, none of this bothers her, but apparently, everything exploded in the aftermath of the Ukraine tweet. The idea that her life revolves around making money for kids she wants to have with Tyler1 seems to weigh heavily on her. The war in Ukraine is then very far away.

What runes are there? The names of the runes also indicate the quality of each rune. Eld is the lowest quality rune, while Thul represents the highest quality level. However, you need the Horadric Cube for this.
What exactly is the Horadric Cube? Once you have this item in your possession, it remains permanently in your inventory and accompanies you on your journeys. You can use it to store additional items in your inventory and craft items.
Where can you find it? You receive the Horadric Cube after completing Act 2. Once you possess it, there are also some additional quests that you can complete.

The two well-known Twitch streamers Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris and Kilian “Tanzverbot” Heinrich have clashed several times in recent months. It even went so far that MontanaBlack blocked his Twitch colleague Tanzverbot on social media. Now, 15 euros ensured that the two had a clarifying conversation with each other. MeinMMO tells you what happened.
This is the backstory:
For some time now, tensions had been brewing between the two. There were repeated discussions that escalated. In November 2021 a dispute between MontanaBlack and Tanzverbot escalated due to disagreements about casino visits and gambling.
Eris had shown increased interest in NFTs for several months, which is why he promoted them on his Twitter channel and offered various giveaways. Some of these were heavily criticized because they featured swastikas, among other things.
Just a few days after the NFT scandal, MontanaBlack took a break from Twitch. He stated he was at the lowest point of his life, but did not explain further what he meant by that. The Twitch streamer wanted to go live again only when he felt like it.
MontanaBlack went live one weekend and started crying as he reported how bad he was feeling (via YouTube). Meanwhile, Tanzverbot commented on this, saying that he just wanted to elicit sympathy and joked around. Eris subsequently blocked Heinrich on social media.
Tanzverbot expressed anger that MontanaBlack was incapable of criticism, and both communities clashed.
15 euros helped MontanaBlack and Tanzverbot reconcile
How did the clarifying conversation between the streamers come about? During a livestream by Tanzverbot, MontanaBlack donated 3x 5 euros. Tanzverbot initially laughed at it and thought he was being pranked, but it turned out to be the real MontanaBlack inviting him to a Discord conversation.
Heinrich accepted the invitation immediately, and the two had a detailed conversation.
What was the conversation like? MontanaBlack sought the conversation with Tanzverbot to avoid playing “Chinese whispers” with each other. He wanted to clear the dispute. Eris explained to him that he didn’t block him because he was incapable of criticism. He even agreed with Heinrich, stating that the situation with the scam NFTs was wrong, and Tanzverbot was right to criticize him.
However, MontanaBlack did not like what happened next:
He interpreted Tanzverbot’s joking reaction as if Heinrich was making fun of him for starting to cry during his stream.
MontanaBlack found the reaction “interpersonally inappropriate” and blocked him because of it.
However, Tanzverbot immediately countered that he was not mocking the crying, but rather the situation itself. He did not find it very likely that the scam and the lowest point of his life happened relatively simultaneously. He thought MontanaBlack wanted to exploit the situation for damage control.
Further discussions in the conversation between MontanaBlack and Tanzverbot
What else did the two Twitch streamers discuss? Tanzverbot also asked MontanaBlack if he thought he was not doing too much advertising for NFTs and whether he had not noticed before that the NFTs could be scams, as there had been many news about fake NFTs.
Due to the amount of advertising and the NFTs that MontanaBlack promoted, Heinrich stated that it was quite likely that there were scams among them.
MontanaBlack responded to the questions with a no and stated that it was not previously ascertainable that the NFTs could be a scam. However, the streamer admitted that he should have engaged more with the topic beforehand. “I wanted too much,” said MontanaBlack about it.
Furthermore, they discussed NFTs in general and expressed themselves factually.
What happened at the end of the conversation? Both emphasized that they do not hate each other, but in fact often celebrate what they do. However, they criticized each other’s behavior and certain statements. In the future, MontanaBlack hopes that they can now meet positively, and Tanzverbot agreed that he would prefer that, but he had to see if the future would show that as well:
Tanzverbot will continue to publicly criticize him when MontanaBlack messes up or does things that Heinrich does not agree with.
Eris only said that it would be his right to do so, but he would prefer to resolve conflicts privately first – which Tanzverbot refused to do.
All in all, the two Twitch streamers left the conversation on good terms and still praised it in their videos and streams days later. Whether the two will now get along better will be shown in the future.
In Destiny 2, the issue with vault space remains a topic of concern. Many players complain about having too few slots because they have collected many items and don’t know where to put them. However, Bungie announced with weapon crafting that the state of space shortage would improve, but it has only made it worse.
What is the problem? In Destiny 2, in the past, Guardians have often complained about the lack of vault space. Bungie then attempted to tackle the overflowing vaults by relocating many weapons and armor of players to the content vault. However, this did not work, as players are attached to their gear. Now, Bungie wanted to go on the offensive with weapon crafting.
The plan was to create more vault space by crafting your own god rolls, as each player only needs one copy of their dream weapon. However, many Guardians believe that the system is not fully thought out, and therefore the vaults are suffering even more than before.
More Vault Spaces? Not with Weapon Crafting
Bungie already wanted to address the overflowing vaults in the past with the content vault. However, the community threw criticism around. The developers quickly backtracked and found an adequate solution. The weapon crafting is supposed to support you with your full vault.
The new forge on Mars
The plan was that since you can only craft one weapon to your god roll, you do not need multiple copies of it. Players could always reshape their gun to have the right weapon for every situation. However, with the new mechanics that came with crafting, the vaults will still end up being fuller.
What are players complaining about in Destiny 2? On Reddit, some Guardians express that weapon crafting does not work as advertised. Players believe that their vault and inventory are fuller than before.
To obtain crafting materials, you need to fill various weapons and their resonances. The creator of the reddit thread FC_mania states that players are forced to keep random rolls, as only these have the resonance feature.
If you want to know the exact process in Destiny 2 for crafting a weapon, we recommend our guide on weapon crafting.
So, if you play some activities, many weapons will accumulate that hold materials. These need to be harvested. However, if Guardians instead want to level their god roll and shoot with their favorite gun, the collection of weapons to be leveled does not stop.
You don’t want to destroy these resource providers either, as valuable materials essential for crafting would be thrown away. Not only that, but players also complain about the perks. These cost materials for each reshaping and therefore are not permanently unlocked.
This is my biggest disappointment with crafting. That as soon as I “buy” a perk, I don’t really own it. Each time I reshape the weapon, I have to pay for it. […]
Ultimately, crafting is a philosophy in itself, not bad, but it definitely needs some fine-tuning to be fully convincing. Now that Witch Queen has been released, we can only hope that Bungie takes the players’ feedback into account and polishes the system.
What do you think of the forge? Do you also think that a yo-yo effect has occurred and that the problem is still present, or do you not see it that way? Let us know!

In Elden Ring, you should take every little advantage, as the game forgives you nothing. Therefore, even a very simple lantern can help you survive – even if there’s nothing special about it.
What kind of item is this? The lantern provides light. That’s all it does, but it’s also the reason why it can be so important. Especially in caves and dungeons, it can often be dark.
Here, the lantern allows you to see enemies and traps around you. It serves the same purpose as a torch, although it lights up a bit weaker. However, it has a crucial advantage.
Why is the lantern so useful? Unlike torches, you can simply attach the lantern to your belt. There, it passively provides illumination, and you don’t have to carry it. Specifically, this means: You have one hand free.
This way, you can wield two-handed weapons, shields, or other items in your off-hand and still have visibility in the dark. In many builds, the weapons are decisive, and a torch would only hinder you. This applies to every one of the 10 classes in Elden Ring.

How to get the lantern in Elden Ring
You can get the lantern from the nomadic merchant in Liurnia of the Lakes. You reach the area after defeating the boss Godrick.
Go to the “Liurnia Lake Shore” area by the lake and look for the merchant. The lantern will cost you 1,800 runes, which you should have plenty of at that point – unless you make an absolutely stupid beginner’s mistake.
Here you find the merchant. Image source: twinfinite
After the purchase, you can simply equip the lantern, and from then on it will passively provide you with light. You don’t have to actively carry it like a torch, so you have both hands free for your weapons.
For fans, the lantern is already “the ironically best item” in Elden Ring, together with a talisman that passively heals you.
The latest game from From Software lives up to its predecessors in the Soulsborne series – you should accept every help available. On MeinMMO, you will find more tips that can help secure your survival:
In Pokémon GO the release of the new Pokémon from Generation 7 is just around the corner. First findings show how expensive the new developments will be. We at MeinMMO have looked at what you need for your Alolan Pokémon and what special features there will be.
What kind of Pokémon are we talking about? The season of origin is soon coming to an end, and just in time for the beginning of the month, the season in Pokémon GO will also change. From March to May, everything will revolve around the Alolan season, which, as the name suggests, will bring you numerous new Pokémon from Generation 7.
A first insight into the new Alolan Pokémon has already been provided by Niantic via the Pokémon GO Twitter account. Of course, these monsters will also have one or two evolutions. The PokeMiners have now found initial information about how expensive these will be and what items you will need for evolution.
Who are the PokeMiners? The PokeMiners are a group of dataminers who regularly search the game code of Pokémon GO for new content and information. This way, they can identify changes or new features even before their actual release. The PokeMiners share their findings with other players by publishing them on their site and on social networks. Since these findings are not official information from Pokémon GO, Niantic may change this data at any time or decide against a publication. For this reason, you should always view such findings with a degree of skepticism.
All findings regarding the evolution of Alolan Pokémon
In their last search of the Pokémon GO game code, the PokeMiners stumbled upon interesting information about Generation 7, which will be gradually introduced into the game over the coming weeks.
It is noticeable that for some of the new monsters you will need items or have to spend a bit more candy to evolve them. There will also be further special features. In the following overview, you can see what you need to prepare for (via pokeminers.com):
Evolutions
Costs
Akkup to Donarion
100 candies + Magnet Lure Module
Krabbox to Krawell
50 candies + Ice Lure Module
Wuffels to Wolweriock (Day form)
50 candies + (only possible during the day)
Wuffels to Wolweriock (Night form)
50 candies + (only possible at night)
Molunk to Amfira
50 candies (only female form possible)
Velursi to Kosturso
400 candies
Reißlaus to Tectass
400 candies
Typ:Null to Amigento
200 candies
Cosmovum to Solgaleo
100 candies (only possible during the day)
Cosmovum to Lunala
100 candies (only possible at night)
Venicro to Agoyon
200 candies
As you can see, you will need plenty of candies for some of the specimens. Once the corresponding monsters are in the game, it’s advisable to catch as many of them as possible. However, when that will be is not known at this time.
Of course, we will keep you informed here on MeinMMO as soon as there is new information about the upcoming season, so it’s worth following us.
Which Pokémon from Gen 7 are they?
Some trainers are certainly wondering what kind of Pokémon these actually are. Below we have created a brief overview to introduce you to the aforementioned monsters:
Akkup and Donarion
Akkup is a Bug and Electric type Pokémon. It has the pre-evolution Mabula and evolves into Donarion. All three evolutionary stages belong to Generation 7.
Another monster from the Alola region is the Fighting-type Pokémon Krabbox. It evolves into Krawell, which is a Fighting and Ice type. Externally, you can recognize it by its purple body and distinctive blue claws. Its evolution resembles a kind of yeti with crab legs.
The Rock-type Pokémon Wuffels has already been officially announced by Pokémon GO. It evolves into Wolwerock, which has several forms. According to the findings of the PokeMiners, there will be both a day form and a night form, although this has not yet been officially confirmed by Niantic.

Molunk and Amfira
The lizard-like Pokémon Molunk is Poison and Fire type and resembles a salamander with a crocodile head. Its body is black, and a red stripe adorns its back and tail. Female specimens can evolve into Amfira, which is also Poison and Fire type.
With the introduction of Generation 7, you will likely encounter the small, cute panda-like monster Velursi. It is Normal and Fighting type. Furthermore, it can evolve into Kosturso, which will cost you some candies.
Another Bug Pokémon from the Alola region is Reißlaus. The Bug and Water type monster evolves into Tectass. With its silver body, it resembles a silverfish. The prominent features are the purple front, tail, and antennae.
Typ:Null is yet another legendary Pokémon of the Normal type. Unlike most other legendary monsters, it can actually evolve. So you can likely evolve it into Amigento for 200 candies. This one is also a Normal type.
In addition to Typ:Null and Amigento, the Alola region features another legendary monster with its evolutions: Cosmovum. This Psychic-type Pokémon can evolve into Solgaleo and Lunala depending on the time of day. Additionally, it has a pre-evolution: Cosmog.
Cosmog, Cosmovum, Solgaleo, and Lunala (via pokemon.com)
These evolutions also differ significantly in appearance. While Cosmog has a cloud-like purple body, Cosmovum visually resembles a golden eye with a purple, star-decorated iris and a black pupil.
Solgaleo, which you can evolve during the day, resembles a large white lion with a long mane adorned with yellow and red accents. Lunala, on the other hand, resembles a bat. Its wings and body are purple, and the tips of the wings, as well as the tail and head, are adorned with golden sickles.
Venicro and Agoyon
Another special feature that the Alola region has is Venicro. Unlike the other monsters, it is an Ultra Beast of the Poison type. It can evolve into Agoyon, which is also an Ultra Beast. Agoyon belongs to the Poison and Dragon types. You can recognize it by its distinctive purple appearance.
What is an Ultra Beast? Ultra Beasts are mysterious Pokémon. Unlike other Pokémon, they tend to be more aggressive and possess enormous powers.
What do you think about the findings of the PokeMiners? Do you think it’s good that the requirements for evolution for some of the Pokémon from Generation 7 are so high? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange thoughts with other trainers.
