The Pokémon Loto-ID gives players a chance each day at a free prize, and the top prize is a Master Ball!

Once per day in Pokémon Sword and Shield, you have a chance to win a Master Ball, as well as other prizes. Have you been collecting your daily Loto-ID prize? If not, you definitely should be, and I’m here to show you how!

What is the Loto-ID anyway?

Introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver, the Loto-ID is a free lottery feature in most Pokémon games. While it has changed a little over the generations, Sword and Shield haven’t changed it much. Once per day, you can participate for free. The game will generate a string of numbers and then match those numbers against the ID numbers of all your Pokémon. If even one digit matches one of your existing Pokémon, you win a prize; the more digits that match, the better the prize. You’ll almost always win something, so it’s definitely worth playing.

What can I win?

Very early on, it is possible not to win, but once you’ve caught enou…

Verizion will be leaving Legendary Raids in Pokémon Go on January 7, 2020. Here’s everything you need to know to take it on!

Starting December 17, 2019, Pokémon Go introduced a new Legendary Raid Boss. The third of the Swords of Justice, Verizion is a Grass and Fighting-type Pokémon, and you have just one week left to catch it! While it is weak to seven different types, there are definitely some real contenders in this fight and other Pokémon who just won’t make the cut. We’re here to walk you through building the perfect team for taking on this Legendary Pokémon!

Who is Verizion, and what are the Swords of Justice?

Like most Legendary Pokémon, Verizion is one of a set. This particular set is known as the Swords of Justice, and they are loosely based on The Three Musketeers. Cobalion represents Athos, the oldest and de facto leader of the group, Terrakion represents Porthos, the strongest member of the group, Virizion represents Aramis, the feminine and romantic member of t…

Pokémon Go has several official search terms that can help you navigate your massive Pokémon collection. Here’s all of them!

When you take the motto ”gotta catch ’em all” to heart, sorting through your massive collection of Pokémon can be a real challenge. Even for the most diligent of players, it can be overwhelming sorting through up to 2,500 different Pokémon. Fortunately, Niantic has implemented some helpful tools to do that job just a little easier. While some of these terms are fairly obvious, such as the name of a species of Pokémon, many of these terms are not as well-known. We, here at iMore, are going to take the guesswork out of Search Terms.

How do I use Search Terms?

All Pokémon Go Search Terms work in basically the same manner.

Click on the Poké Ball to open your Main Menu.
Select Pokémon.
Click on the Maginifying Glass.
Type in the Search Term.
Voila! the specific Pokémon that fit your Search Term are the only ones displayed.

The ”Steve Jobs” movie came out in 2015.
Michael Fassbender played the former Apple CEO.
It’s based on Walter Isaacson’s biography of Jobs.

It’s well worth a couple of hours of your time.

Movies and books about Steve Jobs aren’t rare. But Aaron Sorkin’s ”Steve Jobs” was one of the better ones despite being based on the Walter Isaacson book that received some pushback. The movie ultimately received good reviews from critics but didn’t perform well at the box office. And now it’s coming to Netflix.

With the excellent Michael Fassbender playing Jobs, the movie is one of my favorites despite its flaws. Sure, it’s no ”Pirates of Silicon Valley,” but nothing is. And more importantly it’s way, way better than the ”Jobs” movie starring Ashton Kutcher. ”Steve Jobs” also starred Kate Winslet and Seth Rogan, among other big names.

Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution, to paint a portrait of the man at its epicenter. The story unfolds ba…

With the release of Pokémon Sword and Shield, Pokémon Go is celebrating with the introduction of the first Galarian Variant Pokémon: Weezing. Fortunately, we’ve got everything you need to know to take on this new four-star Raid!

What is Galarian Weezing?

A special regional variant of the Gen I Pokémon Weezing, Galarian Weezing is a Fairy and Poison-type. It doesn’t currently have a great move pool, and it’s stats aren’t all that impressive. Still, it looks really cool and future additions to any Pokémon’s move pool can change its utility. If nothing else, you’ll want this one for the Pokédex entry.

How do you beat Galarian Weezing?

As a Fairy and Poison-type Pokémon, you’re going to want Steel, Ground, and Psychic-type Pokémon to counter Galarian Weezing.

Mewtwo

A Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Psystrike is the best for taking on Galarian Weezing. If you don’t have the …
