Pendles is incredibly likable, his hobbies include: ambushing opponents, gutting them, or pumping them full of poison and then watching them die slowly. Nice guy.
What else is new in Battleborn besides Pendles in summer 2016
Pendles will not be the only new addition coming to Battleborn soon. With the next update, new maps for Battleborn will also be released. On July 28, the next character, the twenty-eighth, will be introduced. Currently, there are promotions happening with certain deals and taunts in the shop, and the Lootocalypse has been extended until July 25.
Battleborn launched a few months ago but has struggled significantly in the wave of Overwatch, losing a lot of momentum:
World of Warcraft has been on the market for almost twelve years now, and during this time the launch screen we see after logging in has changed significantly multiple times. See here how the development of the screen has unfolded over the years.
The good old days, the year was 2004 and after entering your data in World of Warcraft, powerful orchestral music played and you saw the dark portal, dark and threatening, flanked by grim hooded figures in statue form! Those were launch screens!
Meanwhile, after the Pre-Patch to Legion, everything looks different and the dark portal has been replaced by a dark demon pit. Toxic green glows the fel magic and two demon servants of the “Demon Watch” type stand ready with their axes. However, between the original image of the Dark Portal and the demon camp, several other cool title screens have flashed across the screens.
All Screens at Once!
For example, there was an icy wasteland with a fortress in the middle for Wrath of the Lich King, and Arthas’s undead dragon pet “Sindragosa” stood roaring there. Or after the release of Cataclysm, when Deathwing personally greeted us while the dragon was busy crushing Stormwind. Especially cool was the screen from Mists of Pandaria, which showed two massive guardian statues with crossed spears. For the release of Warlords of Draenor, the portal returned, but with nasty red magic effects! If you’re now all teary-eyed with nostalgia, you can rejoice, because the colleagues at massivelyop have created a gallery that shows all previous launch screens of World of Warcraft, which we do not want to withhold from you. Enjoy!

Mein-MMO says: Ah, I still remember the launch screen back in 2004, when a friend lent me his WoW account for a week. The game itself didn’t impress me much back then, but the launch screen and that awesome music… ah… nostalgia! But enough reminiscing, which WoW launch screen is your favorite? Or do you think they all suck and WoW is dead anyway? Let us know!

In Destiny , we show you how to take down the Witch Kagoor in just a few seconds solo.
Currently, the Witch Kagoor greets you when you use the antiquated rune in Oryx’s courtyard. She never comes alone: Kagoor always has a loyal Ogre by her side, who protects her with his life.
Experienced Guardians are already familiar with this “Tier 3” boss’s mechanics: First, take out the Malicious Eyes to draw the Ogre’s wrath, then take down the Ogre, and finally unleash everything on the Witch. After a short time, Kagoor summons the Ogre again, and the fun starts all over – until Kagoor is laid low. Meanwhile, you take out the adds.
If you are part of a fireteam, this boss shouldn’t pose too much of a challenge. The user villiansv will show you how to take down Kagoor solo, and in an insane time.
Hunting Witches with the Sword
The demonstrated method works with all classes, as you only need certain weapons. A high power level, close to the maximum, is also recommended.
So prepare yourself:
Primary Weapon: Equip a powerful hand cannon or a scout rifle with punch, so that you can ideally take down the eyes with a single shot.
Special Weapon: Choose a sniper rifle with high impact. In the video, the Empty Gaze is used.
Heavy Weapon: Here, choose a sword – preferably the exotic Reaper or Darkdrinker. However, the method also works with legendary swords.
Here’s what to do:
First, position yourself behind and slightly to the left of the left rock to be protected from enemy fire. The exact position can be seen in the video.
Then, destroy three Malicious Eyes nearby, as the Ogre’s wrath can stack up to three times. This way, you can deal more damage to the Ogre.
Now snipe the Ogre and kill him with a few shots. To circumvent the sniper’s reload time, quickly switch to the primary weapon and finish off the Ogre.
Now run in with the sword to Kagoor and take her down with powerful strikes. If you are at light level 335, she can already be taken down with two strikes from the Reaper or Darkdrinker.
You can watch this solo run in the video. It took just under 30 seconds:

The third trailer for the four “pillars” on which No Man’s Sky rests has been released.
Exploration, combat, trade, and survival – These terms are emphasized in No Man’s Sky. For each aspect, Hello Games releases a short trailer to present to fans what to expect from release on August 10.
The already third trailer is now available. It focuses on trading in the space simulation:

For your trade to thrive, you first need items to offer. The multi-tool serves to mine resources, allowing you to access treasures on the planets.
Throughout the gigantic galaxy, you will find elements that you need for the improvement of your tool, your ship, and your suit. If you come across a rich vein, you can exchange the surplus with traders. However, if you plunder a planet too much, you will have to deal with the Sentinels that want to maintain balance in the universe.
The galactic trade is especially lucrative when you bring the collected resources to planets where the respective element is rare or expensive. To trade successfully, you need to sell your goods for the best price and offer the best resources.
Trading with Aliens
Some planets are teeming with life – including intelligent life. You can trade with some of these alien inhabitants. However, business transactions can become complicated when there’s no common language.
By directly interacting with the races or mystical alien artifacts, you gradually learn the language. This makes communication easier and the aliens will gain trust in you. As a result, negotiations will also go more smoothly.
The following screenshot shows you the menu screen of No Man’s Sky, which can be seen in the trailer. Some people see similarities to the menu of Destiny here. Do you see it that way as well?
Here you can watch the trailers that have been released so far:
New hints about a possible Biker DLC in GTA 5 Online.
After more than 70 biker crews joined forces in April to petition for a Biker DLC for GTA 5, there are now hints of new motorcycle content. After Twitter user TezFunz2 looked more closely at the data from the Cunning Stunts update, he noticed several points that give biker fans hope.
Biker CEO Missions?
It was generally assumed that Rockstar would not hide future game data in scripts anymore, especially after 3 vehicles were leaked before their actual release. By the way, we owe the leak of the 3 cars to the same user as the biker information. The data in the script gives many reasons for speculation, but it is still unclear what these entries mean – take a look yourself:
Source: GTAForums
According to TezFunz2, lines that start with “gb” indicate that they refer to CEO or VIP work or missions. There might also be a completely new status for bikers at SecuroServ. In the future, you might be able to build your own motorcycle gang, providing an alternative to the CEO work, which allows you to earn millions of dollars.
If a line starts with “am_mp“, it refers to properties, such as houses or garages. This line suggests that you might be able to mod your garage in the future. In the CEO offices of GTA 5 Online, it is already possible to customize the equipment according to your own wishes.
We should be curious about what these data hold for us. The developers of GTA 5 Online have already shown that they continue to care about motorcycles and are not completely focused on cars, as demonstrated in the “Cunning Stunts” update, where recently new maps for motorcycle races were released.

This trainer has managed to catch (almost) all available Pokémon in Pokémon GO.
We need to clarify here and cannot refer to “all” as the 3 Legendary Birds, as well as Mewtwo, Ditto, and the region-dependent Pokémon have not been caught. Aside from that specific Pokémon, he has caught “all” – and that is quite an achievement.
142 Pokémon in the Pokédex!
According to a post on Reddit, the user “ftb_hodor” has managed to find and catch a total of 142 different Pokémon. He reportedly walked a total of 153.2 kilometers according to the app, hatched 303 eggs during that time, and caught a total of 4629 Pokémon along the way. His fitness app, which was running during his adventures, showed a distance of about 200 kilometers. That’s roughly the length of a stage in the Tour de France, the largest bicycle race in the world.
Some Pokémon seem to only be able to be caught in certain regions – rumor has it:
Tauros only in North America,
Mr. Mime only in Europe,
Farfetch’d only in Asia, and
Kangaskhan only in Australia
Some players report that they have found these Pokémon outside the specified regions – however, the Pokémon hatched from eggs.
In the Reddit post, ftb_Hodor was asked if he plans to catch the remaining Pokémon. Even though these are regionally limited, it would certainly be an important step to complete the Pokédex. Hodor joked at first that flights to Europe and Asia were already booked, but then added that he does not plan to chase the regionally limited Pokémon. He believes that these Pokémon really only exist in certain regions, as he talked to many trainers who had a similar Pokédex as he did.
By the time he has been to the regions to catch the Pokémon, the announced trading feature in the game would probably be implemented, which would make a larger Pokémon journey unnecessary.
In Evolve there is a new character. What “Electro Griffin” can do is truly shocking!
Electro Griffin
Evolve has changed its name to “Evolve: Stage 2” and has been available as a Free2Play title on Steam for a few weeks now. Although the game is still in beta, the developers at Turtle Rock have resumed work on new characters to keep longtime fans, returnees, and complete newcomers engaged. A new character was patched into the game a few days ago with “The Electro Shock Update 2.02”. “Electro Griffin” is an adaptation of the already known trapper Griffin, who has exchanged a large part of his equipment for weapons with additional lightning effects.
Let’s take a brief look at the abilities of Electro Griffin:
The weapon The Laser Storm is a machine gun that deals low damage but simultaneously applies a slowing effect on the monster.
The harpoon The Final Lockdown restricts the monster’s movement and deals damage while it is embedded in it.
Nothing has changed about the Sound Spikes. These are still placed on the map and alert the hunters as soon as the monster is nearby.
Even the last ability, the Planet Scanner, is identical to those of the other trappers. It reveals in which direction the monster is located and grants a temporary speed boost.
As Electro Griffin is an adaptation, all former buyers of the game get this character for free. However, those who want to purchase the character individually can acquire him for 8,000 Silver Keys (the in-game currency).
Digital Extremes, developer of the third-person space shooter Warframe, was confronted last week with a data breach from 2014.
Action…
The Canadian developer Digital Extremes, which is responsible for the free-to-play shooter Warframe, was hacked in November 2014.
At that time, they were working with the content management system Drupal, which is mainly used for organizing websites and has been used to create the online presence of the White House or Amnesty International, among others.
The security breach at that time occurred through a Drupal SQL (database language) vulnerability, which Drupal fixed two weeks after its discovery. However, Digital Extremes only became aware of the actual data breach last week through unknown sources.
“Give me your data”
After a thorough analysis of the data made accessible to the developer, it emerged that a total of 775,749 email addresses of players were stolen. However, Digital Extremes emphasizes that this does not include account passwords, game data, or personal information such as name, address, or financial data.
… and Reaction
“We take account and game security very seriously and are constantly working on improving and closing any security gaps we find,” said community coordinator Drew. “As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the security of Warframe, we have implemented two-factor authentication (2FA) over the last 1.5 years and replaced Drupal with a custom website system that does not store account information to protect against such attacks.”
Two-factor authentication occurs, among other things, in everyday life at ATMs, as only the combination of bank card and PIN allows the transaction to take place. Generally speaking, it is a system for verifying identity that relies on two specific, independent factors.
A better encryption makes it safer and more difficult
By the way, 2FA is not available for console players, but only for PC users of the shooter. This is because Xbox One and PS4 do not store passwords and emails on their servers, as their accounts are created via Microsoft or Sony, and the developer only receives their email address if they register for the newsletter.
Although “only” the email addresses were stolen, Digital Extremes advises all players to change their passwords regularly. Furthermore, they warn against phishing sites and email scams that crave your password, as you should never be asked for it outside of the Warframe.com login by official sources.

Improve your trainer level in Pokémon GO easily with common Pokémon.
If you have a higher trainer level in Pokémon GO, you will eventually get better Pokémon. That’s why many aspiring Pokémon trainers are trying to collect experience points to strengthen their collection with stronger monsters. You can see that leveling up the trainer level is worth it when you look at the rewards for reaching level 30 in Pokémon GO.
Using the Lucky Egg correctly
Many of you already know that you level up fastest with a Lucky Egg. However, many trainers do not consider that the frequently appearing Pokémon can be a great help. Because these Pokémon appear so often in the game, you also get a lot of candies and you can evolve many of them. While you are under the effect of the Lucky Egg, you will earn tons of experience points.
Reddit user BCHN has programmed a calculator that helps you make the most of the Lucky Egg. On the PidgeyCalc website (Pidgey calculator), you will be helped to maximize experience points while using a Lucky Egg. To do this, you just need to select a Pokémon you have many copies or candies of, enter the number of Pokémon and candies, and let it calculate how to best use the “resources”. The calculator will also tell you whether using a Lucky Egg is worth it at all.
In my case, I entered 13 Pidgeys and 78 candies there. According to the calculator, that alone is not a reason to use a Lucky Egg. You should first catch more Pidgeys or evolve other Pokémon.
If you have many Pokémon that you can evolve, then there are many experience points for you and you will receive these rewards for leveling up in Pokémon GO.
In The Division the vendors receive a new offer today, on July 23rd. We take a look at the inventory of the high-level vendors.
On the night from Friday to Saturday, the big vendor reset takes place in The Division. Since the Underground expansion on PC and Xbox, there is a seller with high-quality items that PS4 agents still have to do without. Otherwise, the offers are consistent across all platforms.
The offer from the special equipment vendor on July 23rd.

The inventory of the Dark Zone weapon vendor on July 23rd.
You can find the DZ vendor with the weapons in the safe room in DZ03. You need certain DZ ranks and enough DZ currency for him to hand you his goods. Apparently, this week is the week of light machine guns:

As previously announced with “Wanted!” posters, a new champion is soon coming to the League of Legends. It is “Kled”, who rides into the game on his mount “Skaarl”. During the LCS games on 21.07.2016, the first cinematic of the new champion could be seen.
A new Yordle for LoL
As confirmed on Twitter, Kled is a Yordle, which will make many players happy – Because Yordles, like the little Teemo, are generally popular and are never hated.

In the coming days, we should look forward to more information about Kled and his friend (?), as the first teasers came quickly. The drawn-out teasers, which have occurred more frequently lately, often faced criticism on Reddit. With Kled’s look, RiotGames is introducing a new champion appearance that will bring fresh air – Hopefully, his attacks were also designed creatively, so that we might see a new mechanic in the game.

DICE and Electronic Arts have at least partially listened to the wishes of fans of the online shooter Star Wars Battlefront and have now released an offline skirmish mode.
While it hasn’t turned into a complete single-player campaign, it is now possible to play the two game modes Walker Assault and Fighter Squadron offline and against AI enemies. You will be able to play the modes on the known maps. This way, you don’t always have to be online when you just want to play a round of Star Wars Battlefront. The skirmish mode can also be played cooperatively with a friend – even on console in split-screen mode. The update includes some bug fixes and adjustments to the game in addition to the skirmish.
Another two DLCs
Additionally, the developers provided a glimpse of what fans of the online shooter can expect in the future. The DLC Death Star will be released this September and is set to bring space battles. Players can look forward to joining the fight for the Death Star. X-Wing fighters and TIE fighters will battle in space while troops land on the Death Star and engage in battles in the corridors. The battle is expected to change. While you initially attempt to approach the Death Star, later you must land and fight your way on foot, only to get back into the fighter and fly through the known trench.
As new ships, you will find Darth Vader’s Advanced TIE and Luke’s Red 5 fighter in the game. The DLC Rogue One: Scarif is expected to be released around Christmas, likely around the launch of the movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. You will probably fight around the planet Scarif, where you attempt to steal the plans for the Death Star. A new heroine, Jyn Erso, may come into play.
Battlefront 2 is coming!
After that, DICE will focus on the development of Star Wars: Battlefront 2. The game could be released in late 2017 to coincide with the launch of the movie Star Wars Episode VII and will incorporate elements from this film. DICE will receive support this time from Motive Studios, which could indicate that we might expect a single-player campaign in Battlefront 2.

How much CP will your Pokémon have after evolution in Pokémon GO?
It’s always exciting to see how different Pokémon evolve in Pokémon GO. You hope for strong attacks and a good CP increase, especially in many situations where you’d like to know beforehand how much CP the Pokémon will have after evolution. To calculate this, there is a so-called evolution calculator, which we will now introduce to you.
Evolution Calculator for Pokémon GO
“Great, if I had known that the Pidgeotto only has X CP, I wouldn’t have evolved the Pidgey at all.” Such statements can belong to the past with the evolution calculator. If you’re considering evolving one of your Pokémon to possibly have better chances in a gym battle, then take a look beforehand at what the CP value of the evolution will be.
If you have, for example, an Evee with 210 CP, the Vaporeon evolution would have between 552 CP and 554 CP. By the way, you can influence the evolution of your Evee into Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon using a trick with nicknames.
If you need a break from the heated “6 vs 6” matches and prefer to play tactical “3 vs 3” rounds, you can try your hand at the Trials of Osiris starting this evening. They begin at 7 PM.
This week, the map Exodus Blue will be played.
What are the Trials of Osiris?
In the Trials, you fight in teams of three against each other. You aim to defeat all enemy Guardians to fill the scorecard with victories. If you achieve a “Flawless Ticket”, you can go to Mercury and claim high-quality items from the loot.
Rewards are granted at 5 and 7 victories. It is also worth completing the bounties with Brother Vance in the Vestian Outpost for additional rewards.
Blizzard has started releasing the “Harbingers” cinematics for World of Warcraft: Legion. The first video reveals how Gul’dan became what he is today.
Gul’dan – Forsaken by the Elements, Chosen by the Legion
A while ago, Blizzard announced a small film series for the upcoming expansion World of Warcraft: Legion. The first episode of the series “Harbingers” – or in German “Vorboten” – has now been released, focusing on Gul’dan. The loner has taken refuge in a village, but he is not really welcome there. He cannot find his place among the other Orcs, which leads to repeated arguments and conflicts that eventually result in his banishment. The village shaman advises Gul’dan to seek out the Throne of the Elements, perhaps he would find his destiny there.
Broken and crippled, Gul’dan drags himself through the wasteland towards the throne. There he experiences the beauty and power of the elements, only to be rejected by them as well. Filled with rage and despair, he then hears other voices whispering to him through the cosmos: The demons of the Burning Legion.
You might want to check out the rest for yourself, as Blizzard has once again managed to pack a lot of storyline into a short time.

Pokémon GO can be played particularly relaxed when you are a passenger in a car and can collect all sorts of PokéStops and Pokémon that you encounter while on the go in the city. But what to do if you either have no car or no one is willing to drive you? A market gap arises, which is currently being filled by enterprising drivers!
Anyone who has ever started Pokémon GO as a passenger in a car or in public transport knows the phenomenon. Dozens of PokéStops and Pokémon themselves are lying by the roadside, just waiting for someone to pick them up. Those with good reflexes can easily farm the stops and catch the wandering monsters. It’s convenient and saves your legs.
If you no longer want to hunt on foot, you can hire a Poké-Taxi!
The problem is: you either need your own car with a driver (Don’t Drive and Pokémon! Seriously!) or a good-natured friend who agrees to such collection trips. But what to do if you’re unlucky and have neither a driver nor a vehicle? Then you can hire so-called “Pokémon Taxis” in some German cities! If, on the other hand, you prefer to hunt on foot, then our Pokémon GO Guide Collection is certainly a good address.
Your personal Pokémon Safari Tour!
Some resourceful car owners have recognized the signs of the times and offer comfortable round trips through their city. Usually, the drivers advertise their own good knowledge of the local hunting grounds and promise a particularly lucrative tour through the hottest PokéStops and spawn areas in their neighborhood.
Some particularly professional service providers offer comfortable limousines with Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth connections for music, mobile charging cables, and even cold drinks. Most offers extend to an hour of Pokémon safari, with prices ranging from 10 to 30 euros per hour, often with cheaper group rates available. A list of many Pokémon taxi services can be found, for example, on eBay.
Mein-MMO says: I find it really cool how many great business ideas are arising from Pokémon GO. However, I wouldn’t book such a taxi, as the thrill of Pokémon GO for me is actually the hunt on foot. And I can’t hatch eggs in the car either. But overall, the Poké-Taxi is a good idea and a nice earning opportunity for people with cars and good local knowledge.
What do you think? Do you find Poké-Taxis great, or does it detract from the hunting success if you let yourself be driven around comfortably? Or are you currently planning your own Poké-Taxi business?
In this article, we show you more ways how people are looking to profit from the “Pokémon GO” hype.

In the upcoming football simulation FIFA 17, there are ways to play the game before anyone else.
The official launch of FIFA 17 is on September 29, 2016. From then on, you can purchase the latest FIFA installment from EA Sports. Many fans are already itching to get their hands on it: FIFA 16 is now stale, and the developers have promised numerous innovations for FIFA 17 – even choosing the motto: “Football has changed”.
Currently, there are four known ways to get FIFA 17 before its release. If you use one of them, you can not only get a sneak peek, but also brag about it to your colleagues in school or at work after the summer break.
“Players First” Germany Tour and Gamescom 2016
In just a few days, EA Sports will be touring Germany with FIFA 17. The “Players First” community event will take place in several German cities, with 65 tickets per city distributed to fans. The kick-off will be on July 25 in Frankfurt, and the fun will end in Munich on July 30. By the way, you only have to worry about gaming, as EA Sports will provide food and drinks. You can find more info about the “Players First” Germany Tour on the EA website.
If you weren’t able to secure a ticket for the Germany Tour, you can embark on a trip to Cologne: The world-famous gaming fair Gamescom will take place there from August 17 to 21 – with several “FIFA 17” demo booths. Here too, you can take an early look at the game that many are eagerly anticipating.
Early Access and Demo of FIFA 17
If you are on Xbox or PC, you can get early access to FIFA 17 with the paid online services EA Access and Origin Access. So if you prefer to stay away from the bustle of Gamescom, you can play FIFA 17 with all the contents of the full version a week before its release, on September 22. The Access version is limited to a certain time, but you can transfer the progress made to the purchased version.
In recent years, EA Sports has consistently released a demo of the respective FIFA installment on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC at the beginning of September, which players could download for free. This is likely to be the case with FIFA 17 as well.
For a week now, there has been another form of supply drops: the “Season Pass” exclusive Supply Drops in the open world, in PvE, meaning outside the Dark Zone. What exactly does this entail?
Gear Set Pieces for All – Including PS4 Users
With Update 1.3, special events for “Season Pass” holders have been integrated, which are now active in the form of supply drops in PvE. Twice a month, on the 1st and 15th, Massive drops a loot crate somewhere in the open world that you just need to collect. You need an agent level of 30 for this.
You can always see the locations of these drops on the map:
Note: The crate is guarded by a group of NPCs at level 32. If you are already advanced in the endgame, they shouldn’t be a problem. The quality of the loot, by the way, depends on your equipment value. You will find gear set pieces and high-end items in it – a total of 3 pieces per crate.
Currently, these rare supply drops are the only way for PS4 agents to obtain the new equipment sets of the Underground expansion. You can find plenty of user reports online confirming that you can already acquire the new set pieces on PS4 this way. “Underground” goes live on Sony’s console on August 2.
Since the drops only occur twice a month, it will still be difficult to assemble a complete set this way. However, the supply drops are not limited to one account, but can be collected per character at level 30. You can create up to four agents. However, supply drops cannot be declared an efficient farming method for PS4.
Update 1.4 “Survival”, which will be released later this summer, will bring changes to the supply drops in PvE: more drop locations will be added, and the frequency of the drops is expected to increase.

Without these tips, you as a Pokémon Trainer should not leave the house! We explain how Pokémon GO works.
Recently, Pokémon GO has been available in Germany. With these tips and tricks, you as a beginner will have clarity right away!
1. Our Guide for Starting in Pokémon GO
There are 2 ways to log into the game: You can use an existing Google Account and sign in to the game with the corresponding data, or you can create a new account in the Pokémon Trainer Club. The Pokémon Trainer Club also issues a monthly newsletter that sometimes offers download codes for rare Pokémon.
In the game, you can choose a nickname, which may only consist of letters and numbers. Since usernames are unique, you should quickly secure your favorite name before someone else chooses it. Additionally, you can select your character’s skin and hair color and decide on an outfit.
To get started, you obviously need your first Pokémon, which will accompany you on future adventures and fight for you. A Pokémon GO starter Pokémon will not just be handed to you in the form of a filled PokéBall – you will receive instructions from Professor Willow on how to catch Pokémon and can choose between Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander.
Catching Pokémon in Pokémon GO is not explained very deeply. While wandering through the world, it may happen that you hear rustling in the tall grass. When you approach this tall grass, there is a high chance that a Pokémon is hiding behind it – clicking on the Pokémon starts a “battle”. Unlike before, you do not fight with your own Pokémon to weaken the opponent, but must shine with your ball-throwing skills.
When you grab a PokéBall, you have to throw it in the direction of the wild Pokémon and make the best hit possible. If you succeed, you can give the Pokémon a special name. However, you do not have to do it immediately – you can always go to the menu and adjust the names of your companions in your Pokémon overview. For a Pokéball throw with a spin, you first need to tap the Pokéball and spin it in a circle on the screen – it will then be animated and fly with spin.
There is a large number of items that you can buy in Pokémon GO to improve your catch and find rate. Besides PokéBalls, you can also buy the following items:
Incense: By using this incense, you will attract Pokémon for 30 minutes. 1x incense = 80 Poké-coins, 8x incense = 500 Poké-coins, 25x incense = 1250 Poké-coins
Lucky Egg: This egg doubles the experience points earned for 30 minutes. 1x lucky egg = 80 Poké-coins, 8x lucky egg = 500 Poké-coins, 25x lucky egg = 1250 Poké-coins
Egg Incubator: While you move, this machine hatches an egg (3 charges). 1x egg incubator = 150 Poké-coins
Lure Module: With this module, you will lure Pokémon to a PokéStop for 30 minutes – other trainers benefit from it as well. 1x lure module = 100 Poké-coins, 8x lure module = 680 Poké-coins
PokéBalls: The main item with which you catch Pokémon. 20 balls = 100 coins, 100 balls = 460 coins, 200 balls = 800 coins
As you walk through the world, you sometimes see blue-marked points on your map – these are called PokéStops. Clicking on the marker shows you an image of the desired location. When you approach this location, you can get cool items like PokéBalls or a Pokémon egg. Pokémon eggs hatch after a while in the egg incubator and then become a Pokémon that is added to your collection. You should not walk into a police station for this!
On a public Google Maps map, trainers from around the world record the PokéStops to make searching easier. The data for the buildings and locations of the various PokéStops around the world were actually taken from the Pokémon GO predecessor “Ingress”, which was also developed by Niantic Labs.
A Pokémon gym can be entered by trainers who have reached at least level 5 – these gyms are distributed throughout the world, similar to PokéStops. However, a gym battle does not occur against an AI opponent, but against the team of another Pokémon Trainer. The strength of a Pokémon is measured by its Combat Power, short CP, which can be increased with various items. The battle is decided by which Pokémon has the higher CP. By swiping on the screen, you can dodge opposing attacks as well.
