'Pokémon GO' Is Making Big Changes To EX Raids Alongside Deoxys

as informed in Pokémon GO did something wild this past week, it introduced a new Pokémon no one had ever seen before. Not just in GO, but in any of the handheld games. Yesterday it was revealed that yes, this was all part of a master plan coordinated between Nintendo, The Pokémon Company and Niantic. That's more than the 300 million sales Pokémon has racked up with its handheld and console spin-off games.

'Pokémon GO' Has Just Crossed $2 Billion In Revenue Since Launch, Almost An Industry Best

Pokémon GO will be in the news today for debuting a secret new Pokémon, but it should be there for another reason as well: it's just crossed $2 billion in revenue since its release in July 2016.

A Mewtwo day would also serve as a kind of low-key introduction for Deoxys, which is likely to take Mewtwo's place as the EX Raid Pokémon. I wouldn't expect to see that for a week or so after a potential Mewtwo day, however, when the next round of invites went out. Mewtwo day would be an event, that you can bet on: trainers would turn out in droves for the chance to finally finish their Gen 1 Pokédexes.

Is 'Pokémon GO' Introducing Fortnite-Style Mysteries With ???/Nutto?

Yesterday was a strange Community Day, one that arrived not only with its promised Pokémon, Chikorita, but also with something…else. While a mystery Pokémon was datamined the day before Community Day, no one was expecting…whatever it was, to actually show up in the game itself. The original theory was that maybe this bizarre Pokémon was just an elaborate bit of placeholder imagery for something else. Maybe Pokémon GO wants in on that action, so they're throwing in something truly bizarre like Nutto to get players talking. Pokémon GO usually tries to aim most of its quests and mysteries at kids and casual players, ie.
