It's Super Effective is dedicated to bringing unique, creative Pokémon content on the internet.
Pokémon GO gets a background refresh as part of the Rediscover campaign they have been running and it's actually very cool! Diancie returns to Pokémon GO for FREE for anyone who did not get one at GO Fest. This has been the only way to get a Diancie in a couple years. A new Mass Outbreak event with boosted Shiny chance has come to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, along with the return of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Raids. Pokémon Sleep announced that Entei is coming and a Fire-type week will happen to prepare for the next Legendary Pokémon in Sleep.
