If you want to attack your opponent right from the start of a duel in Pokémon TCG Pocket, you can also play cards that only require one energy marker. MeinMMO shows you the best ones that should be in your deck.
With each expansion, new cards are added to the mobile game Pokémon TCG Pocket. Depending on the strength of the Pokémon, its attack requires a certain number of energy markers. Since there is only one marker per round, it can be crucial how many markers your Pokémon needs.
Once a player can attack directly, they can take the lead in the early rounds. Alternatively, they can attack flexibly in the duel with such Pokémon as soon as they are placed in the active position. Therefore, MeinMMO shows you which cards requiring only one energy marker you can use to fill your deck.

Cards with only one energy cost that belong in your deck
Mogelbaum
Mogelbaum is indispensable in the meta thanks to the expansion to Light of Triumph. It has a base of 80 HP. In comparison, that’s more than the average of the cards that use one energy marker for their attack.
Without any additions, Mogelbaum only does 20 damage. However, if the opponent is an ex-Pokémon, the damage increases to 50 points. This allows Mogelbaum to be used both at the beginning and later in the duel as soon as the opponent’s ex-Pokémon enters the battle.
Kokowei-ex is a strong Pokémon that evolves from Owei. It has 160 HP and can deal a minimum damage of 40. Additionally, when attacking, a coin is tossed: if it’s heads, the attack that only requires one energy point does even 80 damage.
However, Kokowei-ex also has two disadvantages: it needs Owei as a pre-evolution, meaning it is not ready for use at the start of the battle. Furthermore, the attack depends on the coin flip, which means it will land at only 40 damage in case of doubt.
Nonetheless, Kokowei-ex is so good in terms of its stats and energy requirement that you should definitely include it in your grass deck.
Rameidon
Rameidon’s stats are even better than those of Kokowei-ex. At least when it comes to damage – it does a whopping 130 damage with only one energy marker. Additionally, it has 150 HP, which is only 10 HP less than Kokowei-ex. However, it has two major disadvantages.
The 150 HP of Rameidon can be quickly depleted or must be replenished. If the opponent’s Pokémon dies from the headbutt attack, Rameidon inflicts 50 damage on itself. Therefore, if it has already taken some damage, it gets tight.
Moreover, it is a stage 2 Pokémon, requiring longer to fully evolve. Also, the base Pokémon is a fossil that cannot be brought onto the field through cards like Pokéball and Pokémon Communication. Thus, Rameidon is not suitable for quick use.
The metal Pokémon Panzaeron also requires only one energy marker for its metal arm attack. It deals 20 damage and has 80 HP. Being a base Pokémon, it can be quickly brought onto the field.
The special feature: If a Pokémon equipment is attached to Panzaeron, the damage increases to 50 points. If the item is a helmet, it can also deal an additional 20 damage when it is attacked.
Porenta
At first glance, Porenta does not seem very strong. It has only 60 HP and deals 40 damage. Compared to other Pokémon on this list, it is rather weak. However, it has a big advantage: it has colorless energy points. This allows Porenta to be used as a filler in all sorts of decks if you have an extra spot.
Unlike other Pokémon like Kangaskhan, the attack is not dependent on luck. Thus, Porenta serves as a solid foundation on which you can build your deck.
Venuflibis
Our last recommendation is for Venuflibis. It is a grass Pokémon that has 80 HP but only deals 20 damage. Its true potential unfolds only when it is in a deck with Arceus-ex.
As soon as Arceus-ex or even Arceus is in play, the damage increases to 50. Unfortunately, the attack depends on a specific Pokémon, so a lot of luck is involved for Venuflibis to deal solid damage.
Part of the upcoming patch for World of Warcraft will be released on April 22, 2025. The rest? On two other dates. Overall, the content is expected to stretch until July.
What is the exact plan? In short, the roadmap for WoW patch 11.1.5 is as follows:
April 23: Nightfall Scenario, cooldown manager, and the Winds of Mysterious Fortune
May 21: Return of the Disturbing Visions
June 4: Cunning Duos
So, at the release of the update, you can expect only three of the five highlight features from patch 11.1.5 to be available on the WoW servers.
How is the community reacting to the announcement? Many players are not happy about the staggered release of the content from patch 11.1.5 on the live servers. Additionally, some are missing a feature that was announced for the update.
Xclbr1 complains on Reddit: “Damn, only 1/3 of the content is actually coming on patch day? I was looking forward to Cunning Duos, but have to wait until June. :(“
Lvl96Charizard adds on Reddit: “I find it absolutely crazy to stagger a X.X.5 patch.”
AedionMorris criticizes on Reddit as well: “Why is everything included in the patch being released drip-wise and delayed? For example, it takes 6 weeks to get the Cunning Duos, 4 weeks to get the Disturbing Visions that are the flagship of the patch. That feels very strange.”
There hasn’t been a new trailer for WoW patch 11.1.5 yet. But the trailer for 11.1 is also nice:

WoW Patch 11.1.5: Content from April 23, 2025
What is the Nightfall Scenario? In this public scenario, you will fight alongside the new faction “Bears of Flame” to defend Arathi from the Sureki forces. Through quests and activities, you will gain glory, rise in ranks, and earn rewards such as new armor sets, a cloak that visually changes, or a color variant of the airship.
What are the Winds of Mysterious Fortune? From April 23, 2025, to May 21, 2025, you can secure the benefits of the Winds of Mysterious Fortune, granting your characters from levels 10 to 79 a 20% experience bonus and a glory bonus (200% with the major factions in Dragonflight zones, 100% with selected factions in The War Within zones).
The release roadmap for WoW patch 11.1.5.
The following factions from Dragonflight are included:
Dragonflight Expedition
Maruuk Centaurs
Tuskarr of Iskaara
Valdrakken Accord
Niffen of Loamm
Dreamkeepers
Sabellian
Furorion
Cobalt Conclave
The following factions from The War Within are included:
Council of Dornogal
Arathi of Healing Fall
The Conclave of Depths
The General
The Grand Vizier
The Weaver
The event also grants characters below level 80 in the zones of Dragonflight or The War Within the chance to obtain mysterious bags when looting or through quests. These bags contain partly useful items, partly funny gimmicks, and partly equipment. Among them are also war loot-bound potions that grant you 10% additional experience for 2 hours.
The Sureki forces are attacking!
What is the cooldown manager? With patch 11.1.5, you can enable a new cooldown manager for your user interface by opening the game menu (Escape), clicking on “Options,” and then selecting “Advanced Options.”
When you enable the cooldown manager, important cooldowns and buffs will be displayed in separate, customizable HUD elements for the selected specialization. You can customize the display through the advanced options of the HUD editing mode.
WoW Patch 11.1.5: Content from May 21, 2025
What are the Disturbing Visions? With the next patch, the Disturbing Visions from patch 8.3 will make their comeback. They lead you into the nightmarish versions of the faction capitals Orgrimmar and Stormwind as dreamed up by N’Zoth’s mind. Your job: Prevent these visions from becoming reality!
For this, you need to find and defeat Alleria or Thrall. In each run, you can also master several optional tasks and hard modes. Those who wanted to master the toughest version of the Disturbing Visions were able to activate a total of five masks and thus as many affixes that significantly changed the challenge’s difficulty level.
The Disturbing Visions lead you to Stormwind and Orgrimmar.
These five masks will also be available this time. Additionally, you should be able to unlock three more masks, allowing a total of eight affixes to be activated in the new version of the visions.
Whoever activates all eight masks in Stormwind and Orgrimmar and successfully completes the madness that arises in the respective Disturbing Vision, can earn a special shadow worm mount. You can tackle the content alone, with allies, or alongside Soridormi’s construct, which can function as a tank, DPS, or healer.
WoW Patch 11.1.5: Content from June 4, 2025
What are the Cunning Duos? This is a new, six-week event where you face “animatronic” versions of past bosses, receive reinforcements, and achieve higher and higher scores. In this, you and your group will fight against two (or more) bosses at once.
Cunning Duos will feature three strongholds: one in Stormwind, one in Orgrimmar, and one in Dornogal. While Vinnie Catnip is the boss, you need to talk to Xyggie Marou if you want to take on a fight in the Cunning Dome. Visit the vendor Wodin, who offers reinforcements and items to help you in battle.
The release of the boss fun will happen over several weeks. On June 4, four bosses will be available to you. In each subsequent week, more bosses will join until there are ten nasty characters wanting to pummel you.
Your achievements will be rewarded with cosmetic items, toys, and some dungeon items. Additionally, you will complete achievements that should activate additional game effects in the Cunning Duos – whatever that means in detail.

In a horror game on Steam, New York is overrun by monsters. Instead of saving its inhabitants from the clutches of these creatures, your mission is to take the best photos. For this, you sometimes sacrifice your colleagues.
We mean The Headliners: A horror game on Steam for up to 8 people. The game was released on January 30, 2025, on Steam, where it costs only €7.79 and is rated “very positive” – 85% of over 4,000 reviews recommend it.
You can see a trailer for the game here:
Start video
The Headliners: Trailer for the Co-op Horror on Steam
Everything for the story
What is the game about? In Headliners, you play as a group of journalists who venture into the dangerous streets of New York. There, deadly monsters roam around. Your task as journalists is to capture the events in the city in pictures – preferably spectacular ones, mind you. After all, you want to make it to the front page.
Each of you is equipped with a camera and can take photos
If you take promising photos, you must escape alive with them
In your hideout, you review the pictures and hope they make it to the front page
Each expedition consumes a press pass, of which you only have three at the beginning. If your photos appear in the headlines, you get another one. So if you want to fool around, at least make sure some good pictures come out of it.
For the perfect photo, you will occasionally also make sacrifices. If one of your colleagues is torn to pieces by a monster, it is of course a tragedy at first – but it might just be the picture that gets you in the headlines.
For someone who is promised a regular hourly wage, one might expect an appropriate payment – or not? A streamer and musician returned to her old platform Twitch after switching to Kick. What she shares causes the great deal facade that Kick presents to crumble.
What does the streamer reveal? The streamer and musician Sabrina Solo, who refers to herself as a one-woman band, regularly streams on Twitch after leaving her contract with the streaming rival Kick. The platform is notorious for poaching content creators from Twitch with expensive offers. In addition, Kick promises smaller streamers to earn money through a guaranteed hourly wage.
In a clip from Sabrina Solo’s Twitch stream on April 2, 2025, the musician shared her experience at Kick and what exactly is behind the promising deals that Kick offers: “I had to go back to live gigs because just so you know, over at Kick – it was a total flop! It was wild!”
Start video
Expert explains: Twitch is heading for a disaster and must ban controversial content
“I wasn’t allowed to say anything”
What does the streamer say about her experience at Kick? The musician explains that the promised hourly wage with which Kick aims to attract smaller content creators to its platform is absolutely ridiculous:
They “paid us hourly”, my god. It was 5 dollars an hour, folks. (…) I earn 100 dollars an hour for my live performances, that’s how much I make when I’m hired as a musician. So when they said they would pay me 5 dollars an hour, it was a total insult. I would laugh at a bar if they told me, ‘we’ll pay you 5 dollars an hour.’
However, she wasn’t allowed to speak about the salary, as she told her Twitch viewers: “We had to sign an NDA because we became partners after all. […] I wasn’t allowed to say anything. And I was supposed to give the impression that we were making real money, that was part of the agreement.”
What brought the musician back to Twitch? However, the payment was not the only thing that bothered Sabrina about Kick.
“It was really disgusting over there,” she adds in the clip, “The incel level is extremely high. Most of the staff is just damn strange, the people there are weird, and I missed the vibe here (on Twitch).”
What do other experiences at Kick look like? Many streamers express mixed feelings about Kick due to different offers and their own experiences. A streamer who was initially very excited about an offer from the Twitch rival ultimately feels as dissatisfied as Sabrina Solo and describes his time at Kick as “the worst time he has experienced while streaming”: Twitch: Streamer spent 1 year on Kick, knows the background – Explains how bad it is there

In July 2023, Bungie banned the then largest Twitch streamer of their shooter Destiny 2. Luis, known as Lachegga, was outraged by the ban and said he was only banned because he had expressed so much criticism of the loot shooter. What is he doing today?
This was the ban back then: In 2023, Lachegga was the largest German Twitch streamer for Destiny 2 with around 150 viewers, having surpassed Nexxoss Gaming, who had been the largest German-speaking Twitch streamer for Destiny 2 for many years.
But Bungie banned Lachegga on July 1. Luis found the ban completely inappropriate and claimed that the German community manager had banned him personally because he was simply too critical. Bungie would let anything pass for anyone, even allowing cheaters free reign, but because he expressed such critical views, Bungie would specifically ban him and other critics.
Luis asked Bungie if he could be unbanned. However, he received no response and felt that he was not treated appropriately:
To put this into perspective: One of the most active German content creators, who has been active on Twitch for 7 years – regardless of the state of the game – pulls in at least 100 to 150 viewers on a normal day, while the rest are around 20 or 30. On good days over 200, during special events 700, and a week goes by without a response.

Toxic behavior in PvP will likely be the downfall of streamers
Why was he really banned? As we researched at MeinMMO, Luis had built an extremely toxic community and had said some things in Twitch streams that would lead to immediate and permanent bans in other games.
It was obvious that Luis was banned for toxic behavior:

He could not entertain as many viewers in Valorant (42 viewers) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (24 viewers)
In 2024, Luis also struggled to establish himself on Twitch without Destiny 2. Viewer numbers dropped by 80% – the streams became fewer. Instead of over 2,000 hours like in 2023, he was only active on Twitch for about 750 hours in 2024.
In October 2024, Luis almost completely gave up streaming on Twitch; since then, he has only had one single stream: On January 24, 2025, he showcased DRAGON BALL to an average of 8 viewers.
The transformation to opinion blogger did not work
How did it go on YouTube? On YouTube, Luis seemed to want to start with a few articles in the style of an opinion blogger after his ban, but that was met with little success.
While his previous videos on Destiny generated about 50,000 views, attempts to explain how silly other content creators are regarding Destiny or suggestive videos about the streamer Amouranth only garnered views in the range of 4,000 to 10,000.
What is behind this: In 2023, Lachegga, a solid PVP player, had his best year on Twitch in the absence of much competition in Destiny 2 with an average of 100 viewers.
However, the extremely toxic atmosphere he propagated ultimately became his downfall, and it did not go up from there, but down.
In Schedule 1, you build your own drug empire, but to achieve that, you need dealers in addition to employees, who will sell your product. One of them you will find at the very beginning of your journey, but now players believe he is a traitor.
Which comrade is meant? It is Benji Coleman. This NPC is met by all newcomers eventually, as he guides players through the basics of dealing for the first time. He serves as a tutorial and explains how the distribution system works, which offers the first opportunity to distribute products through a middleman.
One might think that fans are emotionally connected to Benji, as he shows players how to take their first steps. Suddenly, however, the mood towards Benji shifted, and many began to distrust their former business partner. It is believed that Benji is a rat.

Why do players believe he is a traitor? Many videos of Benji are currently going viral on TikTok, as fans discover a police officer who remarkably resembles Benji during their tour through the villages of Hyland Points. One might think that Benji has a twin.
Many fans are now unsure whether this is their former mentor. The streamer Caseoh shows quite well through his reaction how surprising the reunion can be:

Is Benji a traitor? Even though this twist could fit very well into Schedule 1, it is highly unlikely that he is an undercover cop. Schedule 1 has a very simple character design – even for its NPCs. It is quite likely that Benji’s design was reused for a police officer.
It is quite possible that the developer of Schedule 1 could implement such a traitor system in the future, as it would also fit into the daily life of a criminal. There will also be competition in Schedule 1 in the future, if one is to believe the developer’s roadmap. In particular, the cartel could cause you problems.

The movies of Harry Potter still enchant children and fans who saw the series as kids. This is also due to the actors who embodied many of the beloved characters. Robin Williams also wanted to be part of it, but a rule prevented him from participating.
Which roles did Robin Williams want to play? Currently, a series adaptation of Harry Potter is planned at HBO. In this context, there are many speculations, as well as wishes for who should take on the various iconic roles.
Even before the production of the first films, there were actors who wanted to take on a role in the series. One of them was Robin Williams. The legendary actor is known for his roles in Jumanji and Good Will Hunting.
Despite his desire to take on a role in the Harry Potter franchise, he was denied that opportunity. The problem lay with a rule from J.K. Rowling.

Good Will Hunting – Trailer for the drama about opportunities that should be seized
Only Brits were allowed to play in Harry Potter
What was that rule? During the production of the films, J.K. Rowling was closely involved to ensure her work was adapted as she wished. There was a rule regarding the selection of actors: only Brits were allowed to play. That was also the reason why Robin Williams was not allowed to participate.
In 2021, Chris Columbus, the director of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, spoke with Total Film (via gamesradar.com) about Robin Williams and that he really wanted to play Remus Lupin. In the 3rd part, he is played by David Thewlis.
For Columbus, it was hard to turn down Williams: I had a conversation with Robin Williams, who wanted to play Lupin. […] It was very hard for me to say: These are all Brits. There is nothing I can do.
Are there exceptions to the rule? On the one hand, Eleanor Columbus, the director’s daughter, was allowed to participate in the first film. There, you can see her being sorted into Hufflepuff by the talking hat. However, she does not speak in the short scene.
In the first part, the American Verne Troyer also appears. He plays Griphook in Gringotts Bank. However, the role was played by the British actor Warwick Davis in later films. He is known from Willow.
Two former employees of Nintendo America, Kit Elis and Krista Yang, explain in a podcast the philosophy of Nintendo and why the company’s games are so rarely available at a lower price.
This is the situation: PC gamers know: On Steam, hardly any game is sold at full price. You just have to wait a few weeks, and games are discounted by 20%, 40%, or even more during one of the 343 alternating sales.
But Nintendo games are rarely or never discounted during a sale. Most of the time, you have to bite the bullet and pay full price.
Two former marketing leads from Nintendo have now explained why.

Who are the insiders?
Kit Elis was with Nintendo for 13 years, ending as Director of Social Media Marketing.
Krista Yang was even with Nintendo for 14 years, reaching the position of Senior Manager of Creator Relations.
So, these are two people who know how Nintendo operates.
At Nintendo, the price is the price
This is what the insiders say about Nintendo’s pricing philosophy: In an episode of their podcast on YouTube, the two Nintendo insiders share that influencers often asked them to get Nintendo games to test or give away. But when they took these ideas to their superiors, they often had to listen to a long sermon.
Nintendo’s motto is: Value is value.
Products from Nintendo have enormous value. We must always respect this enormous value. That’s why these products never go on sale. Value is value, and we take the concept of “honoring the value” of what we do very seriously because it is something special.
Elis jokes: “We’re not at Ubisoft” and laughs.
Nintendo fans know: If I want a game, I don’t need to wait for a sale
What does this mean for customers? Krista Yang explains that since every Nintendo fan knows the games don’t go on sale, the fan is conditioned to the idea. If I want the game, I might as well buy it at full price because it won’t be cheaper in a sale.
Are you looking for the best decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket? In this tier list, you will find strong meta decks that you can use to challenge your opponents – including of course the latest cards from the expansion Dimensional Crisis.
What makes the best decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket?
The ex-cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket are particularly strong Pokémon. They are so powerful that defeating one of these pocket monsters gives you 2 victory points instead of just one. It’s no wonder that the strongest decks are built around the ex-cards. However, there are also a few decks that function without the powerful ex-cards.
So you can assess which decks you should use in battles, we have created a tier list for you. Based on this, you can see which decks are well suited for combat and which ones you should only use in emergencies.
Update on July 7, 2025: Decks have been revised and ranks adjusted.
What is a Tier List and how was it created?
What is a Tier List and how was it created? In the Tier List, individual decks are categorized into letters. In this case, S stands for the best deck, followed by alphabetical order. A is the second-best tier, B the third-best tier, and so on.
C-Tier: Here you find less popular decks of the current meta. They may appear rarely, but they cannot compete with all other decks in the article.
S-Tier: These are the best decks of the current meta. They can adapt to various opposing decks. You frequently encounter these decks in PvP mode. They also secure the top spots in tournaments.
A-Tier: These are popular decks that have solid performance. They can partially compete with S-Tier decks but have greater weaknesses. You still encounter them in tournaments and PvP mode.
B-Tier: Here are less popular decks that can still win despite their weaknesses. However, these weaknesses can be easily exploited. They are hardly represented in PvP mode and tournaments anymore.
The tier list is based on personal experiences as well as the lists from game8.co and pokemon-zone.com. Additionally, we look at the results of the latest tournaments every two weeks. It is relevant for us which decks were able to achieve victory in a tournament (via Pokémon Meta). If you have had different experiences or have suggestions for improvement, let us know in the comments!
To help you find the meta deck you’re looking for faster, you can search for it in the following table of contents.

1x Koknodon
2x Rameidon

What are the weaknesses? The longer the battle lasts, the less likely a victory becomes. There are some Pokémon that can still defeat Kokowei-ex with an attack.
Darkrai-ex & Magnezone
Even with different elements, they are a good team.

2x Magnezone

1x Helmet
1x Large Robe
What are the strengths? Magnezone also works in the Dark deck as Magneton powers itself up once per round with its ability, even if you don’t generate electric energy. Magnezone and Darkrai-ex are both strong attackers. Shardrago, on the other hand, acts as a blocker and buys time to power up Magneton or deal damage from the bench through Darkrai-ex’s ability.
What are the weaknesses? It can take time to fully charge Magnezone and get it ready. It has 2 pre-evolutions and requires 3 energy points.

What are the weaknesses? Unlike Elezeba, Pachirisu-ex is a basic Pokémon but requires one more energy point and equipment to deal significant damage. Otherwise, it is a weak Pokémon that often needs to be swapped out after one hit from strong opponents.
Dialga-ex & Yanmega-ex
Yanmega-ex compensates for the missing damage.

With the introduction of new decks, we will continuously update the list. This way, you will always have an eye on which cards you should work towards to create the perfect combinations. Currently, only a fraction of the Pokémon that exist in the video games is included.
In Monster Hunter Wilds, you can not only defeat your opponents but also capture them. We will explain the advantages of this, how you can catch them, and how to ensure that you do not accidentally knock them out.
These are the advantages of capturing: Unlike defeating, when you capture a monster, you get more and often rarer items from them. Additionally, this shortens the hunting time since you only need to weaken the monsters and not defeat them.
But beware: Some rare materials can only be obtained by defeating the monsters. These items are excluded when capturing, so you cannot completely avoid defeating them.
To successfully capture your target monster, we will explain what you should pay attention to.

Update from April 10, 2025: The post has been structurally updated.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Did you really start the quest?
How to Successfully Capture Monsters
To successfully capture a monster and not accidentally knock it out, you should follow these steps and tips:
Craft and Prepare Items
To capture a monster, you should have the following items on hand:
A shock trap or pitfall
Sedative bombs / tranquilizer blades / tranquilizer ammo if you are playing with a bowgun
You can craft these items yourself. You can find the materials in the areas. For the traps, you need trap tools, which you can buy for 200 Zennys each at the supply depot:
At the supply depot, you can find the necessary trap tools
To craft, go to your tent and then select the “Crafting List” option. There you will find all the items you need for capturing on page 6:
On page 6 of the crafting list, you will find everything you need
For crafting, you need the following materials:
Pitfall: trap tool, net (spider web + ivy)
Shock trap: trap tool, thunderbug capacitor
Sedative bomb: sleep herb, paralysis mushroom
Tranquilizer ammo: sedative bomb, normal ammo
Tranquilizer blade: sedative bomb, throwing knife
It’s best to place the items in your pouch right next to each other or use your pie menu because once you lure the monster into the trap, everything needs to happen quickly, or you risk missing your chance.
This is particularly frustrating since you can only carry one of each trap type in your pouch. Once they are used, you need to return to a camp and restock your supplies. If you placed a trap incorrectly, you can easily pick it back up.
Weaken the Monster and Find the Right Moment
If you want to capture a beast instead of defeating it, you first need to weaken it. You do this by hitting it firmly. When the monster is ready for capture, a small skull icon will appear on the map over the monster:
The skull serves as an indicator that you can capture the monster
Are there any further hints? Additionally, your Palico or the support hunters, if you have any with you, will give you calls and hints as soon as a monster is ready to be captured. So, you should listen carefully and pay attention to statements like “Almost done” and similar, then take a look at the minimap.
The monster usually retreats to its nest shortly before its demise. At this point, it often looks quite battered and limps. If you pay attention to all these indicators, you should not miss the right time.
Properly Use Traps and Bombs
When you are ready to capture the monster, you need to set a trap and lure the monster into it. Often, it is enough to place it and stand behind it; the monsters will eventually come on their own if they are aggressive towards you.
If the animal has retreated to its nest, it will often sink into a short slumber. You can then take advantage of this for your plan.
Once the trap is set, you need to lure the monster in
Once the monster is in the trap, you need to calm it down with sedative bombs, tranquilizer ammo, or tranquilizer blades. Usually, 2 of the respective items are enough to safely capture the monster, provided you hit it.
Using sedative bombs, you can successfully capture the monster
If you do everything correctly, you will successfully capture your prey and the hunt will be over. You do not need to do anything else and will receive a shortened end timer for your quest of 20 seconds. After that, you will see the usual screen with the materials you have received.
Things to Keep in Mind
What should I do with hovering or flying monsters?
Since traps are placed on the ground, you usually face a problem with such monsters. However, you can often solve this by knocking down the monsters above your placed trap with a thunder capsule. Alternatively, you can wait until the monster starts a phase on the ground and place the trap in its path then.
Does it matter which trap I use?
No, not every trap works on every monster, and not every monster can be captured. For example, Rey Dau is immune to shock traps and Jin Dahaad cannot be captured at all. However, for many other monsters, you can choose freely.
For example, we hope that the special research about the legendary Pokémon Dakuma continues this month. There is no concrete information about it yet – but many other dates are already set.
We will show you which ones in the list here.

Pokémon GO: What’s in the new Season Powerful and Masterful
All Events at Pokémon GO in April 2025 at a Glance
The following list shows you all the dates in April that might be exciting for you. We will show you Raid Boss changes, Spotlight hours, Community Days, and themed events.
For some events, only the title is currently known, sometimes even only the English one. In these cases, only this information is listed. Wherever there are further information, we will include the corresponding links.
All possible Shiny Pokémon in the list are marked with an asterisk*.
Which events are worth it? This month, we have to wait a bit longer to see which event contents will still be announced. The Spotlight Hour with Bubungus is definitely cool – it already brings more Stardust, and with the doubling, you can really collect a lot. Additionally, the debuts of Forgita and Knapfel in their respective events are particularly exciting. And there are also more spotlight hours coming up that could be worth it.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Recently, the heads of Path of Exile 2 appeared in a livestream to explain their current direction. However, instead of soothing the fans, the players expressed disappointment over their attempts at explanation.
What kind of livestream was it? The influencer and “Path of Exile 2” pro Zizaran invited the heads Jonathan Rogers (left in the header image) and Mark Roberts (right in the header image) to an interview in his livestream on Twitch (via YouTube). During this, he spoke with the two heads about the current situation of the new season “Dawn of the Hunt” of Path of Exile 2.
Before this, there were many issues with the game:
To discuss all these points again, the heads of the ARPG took the time in the livestream. For over two hours, they talked with the pro about many different topics that are currently concerning players and tried to justify and explain their thoughts behind the decisions. But instead of soothing, they sparked the opposite reaction in the fans.

“PoE 2 is currently facing a major identity crisis”
How do fans react to the livestream? While the livestream was hoped for by many, it seems to have not reassured the players. In several posts on Reddit, various topics are being discussed. One topic is the central identity of the ARPG – Where should the journey go?
User ZeroSumTruths describes his insights after the livestream in detail on Reddit:
The developers’ vision is to make every single part of the campaign “engaging” and “meaningful”.
It’s crazy to hear this from an ARPG developer who has played PoE 1 for years. The whole point of an ARPG is not the campaign… People who REALLY enjoy hard and engaging campaigns will look for that in Souls or other RPG games. In ARPGs, it’s almost always about replayability and character creation.
Now it all makes sense; we have a bunch of Souls developers trying to build an ARPG game with 0 regard for players who are into power fantasy and experiments by rolling multiple characters.
It’s astounding that they had the perfect ARPG formula from PoE 1 and threw it all away to satisfy their desire to create their ideal RPG game. Wow.
That Path of Exile 2 was supposed to be harder and more challenging than its predecessor was communicated by the developers right from the start. The strong nerfs’ justification for needing to keep the game challenging is met with confusion from fans (via Twitch).
User GateIndependent5217 explains on Reddit what bothers him: “It’s the reward ratio that’s frustrating. A challenging loot game is not fun if there’s no loot. It doesn’t feel rewarding. I want my dopamine rush when I play a game, not feel like I’m putting in extra shifts.”
Also in other posts on Reddit, viewers of the livestream are bothered by the low loot in the game, which doesn’t sufficiently reward the hard experience.
What happens next? The developers probably did not ease the frustration with their livestream appearance but rather caused more stress in the community. It remains to be seen whether the announced changes and upcoming patches can placate the player base again. The new buffs might help: Developers of Path of Exile 2 say they are done with the nerfs, now buffing 4 classes

Some skins in Call of Duty are colorful, while others are just silly. According to a well-known leaker, Activision is aware of this and is discussing plans for the future.
What’s the deal with the skins? In Call of Duty, you can buy many different skins for your operators. However, for several years now, these skins have been becoming increasingly absurd, deviating from the setting of a shooter in at least a somewhat realistic environment.
Alongside various celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, and Neymar, there have also been different collaborations with fantasy figures, such as the characters from the series The Boys or, more recently, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And then there are the absurd animal masks.

More restraint with skins?
What does the leaker say? The well-known “Call of Duty” leaker “TheGhostofHope” shared some information in a post on X.com about Activision and Raven Software’s latest impressions and thoughts on Call of Duty: Warzone.
According to the leaker, they have discussed potentially showing more restraint in the future regarding skins and bundles. Activision is hearing the criticism from some players that Warzone is increasingly looking silly – even if crossovers, such as with the Ninja Turtles, are a “money-making machine.”
Overall, Activision and Raven Software are very satisfied with the return of Verdansk in Season 3 of Warzone. The number of returning players has exceeded expectations.
Crossover skins in Call of Duty, however, are not only criticized because they sometimes do not fit the setting and make the game look silly. Some outfits are harder to see due to their design, giving buyers of the skin an advantage.
A skin designed like the Terminator T-800 is considered a pay-to-win skin, as it is particularly difficult to recognize in dark corners. Call of Duty has therefore made an adjustment to the skin, but it didn’t really improve things: Call of Duty nerfs a skin that all players hate, but tryhards still use

Schedule 1 continues to enjoy great popularity since its release. In addition to players, developers have also taken notice and sense an opportunity to get to your money.
How are fans being deceived?Schedule 1 is currently a huge hit on Steam. Many players and also streamers are building their drug empire and making a lot of money. However, Schedule 1 is only playable on PC – PS5 and Xbox are thus left empty-handed.
Exactly this has been sensed by other developers who now see it as an opportunity to get to your money. They want to deceive you and are creating clones of Schedule 1 out of nothing, which they plan to release throughout 2025.

Copies on PS5 are bordering on audacity
How audacious are the copies? So far, two copies have made it to the PlayStation Store, listed as “Schedule 1 Syndicate” and “Schedule 1: Dope Empire”. The former has already been taken off the market by PlayStation officials, but the latter can still be viewed in the shop (via store.playstation.com).
Apart from the fact that the still-existing copy of Schedule 1 copies the name of the hit, many “similarities” to the original can be observed. The product image of the copy shares the same gesture as the original, and the product description also mentions the location “Hyland Point”, the same fictional city where you roam in the original.
Moreover, this is not the same developer who created the hit on Steam, but an unknown studio with games that are bordering on parodies. This includes Grand Taking Ages (a play on GTA) and Dark Farts: Bollywood Smell Edition (a play on Dark Souls).
It is only a matter of time before Sony removes this title from the shop as well, but until then, you should be cautious.
Will Schedule 1 be released on console? We cannot answer that with certainty. The original game is currently only being expanded by one developer. Furthermore, according to the Steam page, the game will remain in Early Access for up to 2 years.
It is not unlikely that Schedule 1 could make it to consoles, but since it is an indie game and currently only one developer supplies the game with patches and some updates, it may still take a few years, if at all. What the developer behind Schedule 1 still plans can be seen in the roadmap: Schedule 1 and its roadmap: All content you can expect in the future

In Warzone, the KSV is a strong choice for the battle royale mode. We show you a powerful setup with attachments for the submachine gun.
What kind of weapon is it? One of the weapons that has emerged as a meta right after the return of Verdansk in Call of Duty: Warzone is the KSV. The KSV is a submachine gun with a high fire rate, a very good time-to-kill at short range, and high mobility.
Below, we present a strong loadout for the KSV and an alternative build for those who prefer to go through Verdansk with more attachments.
Start video

Warzone: The best loadout for the KSV
What is this loadout? The KSV is meant to give you an advantage in close-range battles. You should use the following attachments:
Muzzle: Compensator
Barrel: Long Barrel
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Magazine: Extended Mag II
Rear Grip: Commando Grip
Attachments in English
Muzzle: Compensator
Barrel: Long Barrel
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Magazine: Extended Mag II
Rear Grip: Commando Grip
What makes the loadout strong? The muzzle and the foregrip reduce the weapon’s recoil, while the barrel increases range. The grip improves the handling of the KSV and also increases aim speed and firing rate after sprinting.
If you’re just leveling the submachine gun and haven’t unlocked the attachments yet, you can equip a suppressor instead of the compensator, as well as choose the quick-draw grip and a smaller magazine.
Warzone: Loadout for the KSV with 8 attachments
If you prefer to play with 8 attachments and even less recoil, the following attachments are recommended. Note that for this build, you need to equip the wildcard “Gunslinger” to use 8 attachments instead of just 5. You unlock the wildcard at player level 33.
Optic: Kepler Microflex
Muzzle: Compensator
Barrel: Long Barrel
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Magazine: Extended Mag II
Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
Stock: Infiltrator Stock
Fire Mods: Recoil Springs
Attachments in English
Optic: Kepler Microflex
Muzzle: Compensator
Barrel: Long Barrel
Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip
Magazine: Extended Mag II
Rear Grip: Ergonomic Grip
Stock: Infiltrator Stock
Fire Mods: Recoil Springs
With the wildcard, you can only equip a pistol or a rocket launcher as a secondary weapon. So grab another weapon and equip it instead once you land in Verdansk – or buy a second loadout with an assault rifle and combine both.
The KSV is well-suited for short distances and thus makes a good support for assault rifles. If you’re still looking for a strong weapon to combine with the submachine gun, we have looked into which weapons are popular in Call of Duty: Warzone. Here you will find an overview of the current meta weapons in battle royale: CoD Warzone: Meta – The best weapons with loadouts in overview

On Steam, there are countless games and regular discount promotions for them – sometimes even without much prior announcement. But what happens if you return a game because it is on sale shortly after purchase and then buy it again? Steam has a clear stance on this.
How are refunds managed on Steam? If you want to request a refund for a game on Steam, two conditions must be met:
You can only refund games that were purchased no more than 14 days ago
Only games in which you have played for no more than 2 hours can be refunded
Steam accepts a variety of reasons that you provide for a refund. For example, Valve mentions that your computer may not meet the system requirements or you may have accidentally purchased the title. It is also an accepted reason to say that you simply did not enjoy the game after an hour of gameplay.
However, Steam also makes it clear that you should expect consequences and might not be offered refunds if you attempt to exploit the system. The system is not intended for playing games for free.
Valve is also still developing games. The company is currently working on the MOBA shooter Deadlock:

Returning games and buying again at a discount – Is that possible?
This is how Steam handles repurchasing discounted games: Steam clearly states in its refund guidelines that refunding a game that is offered at a lower price shortly after your purchase is not considered abuse of the refund system. You will also not be penalized for purchasing the game again at the reduced price.
The exact wording in the guidelines is:
“If you request a refund for a title that was purchased shortly before a sale and then immediately repurchased at the sale price, this will not be considered abuse.” – via Steam
For example, if you bought the currently 75% off Devil May Cry 5 for 29.99 Euros and have played it for less than 2 hours, you can return it without hesitation and buy it again with the discount for now 9.99 Euros.
This is what players say about the regulations: A Steam user shared a screenshot of the guidelines on Reddit and praised Valve for this rule. The post accumulated over 35,000 upvotes and almost 600 comments. Many gamers speak very positively about Steam and Valve CEO Gabe Newell. For some, it is even the only company they fully trust.
In Monster Hunter Wilds, event quests are regularly available, allowing you to unlock useful items and materials as well as cosmetic equipment. Since today, April 9, 2025, there is a new quest that places a small creature on your head. This reminds many of a well-known monster from the predecessor.
What kind of quest is it? Monster Hunter Wilds offers regularly new event quests that not only provide cooking materials, armor spheres, or hunting ranks as rewards but also cosmetic content that interests a large part of the community the most.
One of the new event quests available since April 9, 2025, features a quirky headdress that places a funny-looking bird on your head, which is also not shaken in battle. Some players find the bird reminiscent of a well-known monster from previous titles.

What is this event quest? Currently, you have the opportunity to take on the event quest The Song of the Quematrice. This is a 4-star quest in the Wind Plains where you need to defeat a Quematrice. Once you accomplish this, you unlock the headgear Amphikauz Alpha.
In its standard colors, it is a green amphibious bird that sits comfortably on your head. As usual, you can adjust the colors in your tent. You can complete the quest until April 23, 2025. You can accept event quests from Alma at the tent or at the new community area at the counter.
How is the community reacting to the headgear? Among the comments on an official x-post about the quest, most seem delighted with the headgear. @KeikPinCosplay (via x.com) likes the hat so much that she never wants to take it off: I will quickly complete this event quest and never take the baby off my head.
Other users find the bird reminiscent of the Pukei-Pukei, a monster that has appeared in Monster Hunter World and Rise. For them, the bird is a baby version of the beloved monster.
Other users like @Fran_Lancer (via x.com) are waiting for a completely different quest: I need the scarf event as soon as possible.
What do you think of the new headgear? Do you want to unlock it right away, or do you have no interest in cosmetic items? Feel free to let us know in the comments. The Monster Hunter community has a soft spot for cute creatures, despite battling many monsters: Hunters in Monster Hunter Wilds worship a hidden bird that distributes gifts.

Nintendo is suing Pocket Pair in Japan, the developer of the survival hit Palworld. Since 2024, the company has been trying to establish a basis for a lawsuit in the USA, which is now becoming increasingly likely with new patents.
What has happened so far? Palworld was released in January 2024 in Early Access on Steam. Almost immediately, speculation arose within the community as to whether the game might be too similar to Nintendo’s Pokémon series and whether Nintendo would sue the developer Pocket Pair.
In September 2024, Nintendo actually filed a lawsuit against Palworld in Japan. The lawsuit alleges that Palworld infringes Nintendo’s patents, some of which Nintendo had only filed after the release of Palworld.
Recently, there was an update on the situation in February 2025: As early as May 2024, Nintendo had filed a total of 24 patents in the USA, of which two were ultimately granted. Now there is information that Nintendo is being granted additional patents.

Nintendo patents landing flying mounts
What new information is there? By now, Nintendo has managed to secure two more patents:
The first is the U.S. Patent No. 12.246.255 (download via games fray). This was apparently filed back in September 2022 and has since been adjusted multiple times by Nintendo. Specifically, this patent refers to the mechanic of switching from a flying object to one that moves on the ground.
The second patent is U.S. Patent Application No. 18/652.883. Here too, it appears to concern similar functions as in No. 12.246.255. On March 4, 2025, Nintendo adjusted the patent application (Download via games fray) and filed a disclaimer on March 20 (Download via games fray).
games fray suspects that the two patents were too similar and the second was not approved as duplicate patents are not allowed. After the amendments on March 4 and 20, however, the status of Patent No. 18/652.883 was set to Approved – Grant Notice not yet sent on April 1.
Accordingly, the fourth Nintendo patent has also been granted in the USA.
What could happen next? Nintendo has now secured four patents in the USA that they could use to focus on Palworld. If Nintendo can refer to more patents, the basis for a lawsuit will continue to grow.
Unfortunately, it is not clear whether Nintendo has applied for additional patents in the USA or whether they are revising previously rejected ones. Furthermore, it is not known whether Nintendo is generally interested in a lawsuit against Pocket Pair in the USA, even though the patent registrations suggest so.
As soon as there is concrete new information in the lawsuit between Pocket Pair and Nintendo, you can read it on MeinMMO. By the way, Palworld is continually receiving further updates – despite the lawsuit. Recently, there was crossplay across all platforms, a global Palbox, and more. You can read what was included in the patch here.

Solo Leveling could continue the story of the Korean Manhwas in Season 3. We will share the key information regarding the release, the streaming service, and the leaks here.
Update on May 15, 2025: We have added new statements about the release with an initial assessment.
The 2nd season ended on March 13, 2025. Not counting the recap episode 7.5, the anime for Solo Leveling currently consists of 25 episodes. Since the webtoon or manhwa source material (Korean manga) is now complete, there is still enough material that could come as an anime. MeinMMO summarizes what we know so far about Season 3.
The trailer for the last season can be found here:
Start video

Solo Leveling Season 3: All about the release of the season
Release: When will Solo Leveling Season 3 come out?
Initially, there was no direct announcement for Season 3. However, as Sota Furuhashi, producer at Aniplex, recently revealed, it could still take a while before Season 3 of Solo Leveling is released.
If it were up to him, he would finish Season 3 by the next Olympics – which would be in 2028 (via YouTube). However, he also adds that the decision is more in the hands of A-1 Pictures and animation producer Atsushi Kaneko.
In addition, there is a statement from Crunchyroll CEO Rahul Purini (via Deadline). He adds that he hopes there will be a Season 3 at all. The creators of the anime are working on several series, so they first need to find time to produce Season 3.
The English voice actor for Sung Jin-woo, Aleks Le, confirms on X: It will take a while before Season 3 comes. A release is not in sight.
If the production of Season 3 took as long as for Season 2, the anime would appear in January 2026. Between Season 2 and Season 1 there was exactly one year.
But thanks to the current statements, it looks like the start will be delayed – and the release will consequently be pushed back. We estimate that we will have to wait until at least 2027 to see the continuation.
Episodes: How many episodes will Season 3 have?
The number of episodes for Season 3 is not known yet. Season 1 consists of 12 episodes, and Season 2 has 13 episodes. Therefore, we assume that Season 3 will have between 12 and 13 episodes.
Streaming Service: Where can I watch Solo Leveling Season 3?
Both Season 1 and Season 2 of the anime are available on Crunchyroll. The anime was released there weekly as a simulcast to the Japanese broadcast. Therefore, it can be assumed that Season 3 will also be available on Crunchyroll.
Dubbing: In what language will Season 3 be available?
As with Season 1 and Season 2, you will be able to watch Solo Leveling directly during airing with Japanese audio and German subtitles. There is even the option to watch the seasons with German dubbing. Therefore, we assume that this will also be the case for Season 3.
Story: What is Season 3 about?
The 2nd season ends with the recruitment arc. Following that, starting from Chapter 111 of the webtoon, is the Ahjin Guild arc. So you can already read in the manhwa where it continues. Whether Season 3 will include the entire story is not known. It could also be that a cut will be made after a certain arc, such as after the International Guild Conference arc.
Trailer: Is there already a preview of Season 3?
As Season 3 has not yet been confirmed, there is no footage for the upcoming season.
In addition to the 2nd season of Solo Leveling, there were other animes that aired in winter 2025. MeinMMO wants to know from you which series you enjoyed the most. So vote now for which animes were the best for you in the winter season 2025: Which new anime captivated you the most in the last 3 months?

A boss receives a lot of support for her videos on TikTok because she represents the values of Generation Z by declining vacation days for good reasons.
Who is the leader of Gen Z? Elizabeth Beggs is a 28-year-old executive in a packaging distribution company. There, she is responsible as the director of customer service for a team of five. Previously, she served in the U.S. military, where she directed training sessions for recruits as a drill sergeant and met her husband.
On TikTok, Beggs shares insights into her work as an executive. In her most successful video (over 5.2 million views), she explains why she declines vacation days requested by her employees. She receives a lot of support in the 9,600 comments. This is also reflected in the nearly 700,000 “likes.”

Vacation days are meant for relaxation
Why does she decline vacation days? Beggs explains in the video that vacation days are, in her opinion, meant to rest and recharge, and not to deal with “life-changing events” or medical emergencies.
She reports an instance where an employee wanted to request a vacation day because she feared having a miscarriage. Beggs declined the request and sent her to the doctor without deducting a vacation day – with full pay. That was a medical emergency and not something the employee should need a vacation day for.
Another example she shares involves an employee with children. He informed her that he would come in a bit late because he had been awake all night. She replied that he need not worry and that she understood, as he had a baby at home. Beggs knew this because she herself is a mother of four. However, the employee explained that his oldest child was in the hospital and the mother was with him. He was awake because he had to find care for the child.
Beggs then told him to go to the hospital to be with his oldest child, spend time with the baby, and not come to work. She also didn’t care that he had no vacation days left to request.
Executives work for the team, not the other way around
What is behind this mindset? Beggs explains in further videos that she works for her team as an executive and not the other way around. She sees her role as making her employees better. It is important to her to know her team so that she can work with them as effectively as possible. She cares about the mental and physical health of the team.
Why does this make her a leader of Gen Z? At 28, Beggs is part of Generation Z, which includes people born roughly between 1995 and 2010. Generation Z can increasingly be found in more offices and is also becoming bosses themselves.
Generation Z is generally said to be very health-conscious, especially concerning their work. For many, it means: “My health/my well-being is more important than my job.” Beggs, who is part of this generation, exemplifies this principle as a leader and also looks out for the health of her employees.
