Pokemon Go: How To Get Leafeon And Glaceon

A new wave of Gen 4 Pokemon has arrived in Pokemon Go. Along with Garchomp, Cherrim, Hippowdon, and a few other monsters originally from the Sinnoh region, players can now finally get Glaceon and Leafeon, the long-awaited Ice- and Grass-type evolved forms of Eevee. However, the way to induce these evolutions is a little different than normal.

To get Glaceon and Leafeon, you’ll need to use Glacial and Mossy Lures–two new kinds of Lure Modules recently introduced to the game. If you’re unsure of what those are or how the whole process works, we break down everything you need to know about the new Lure Modules and how to evolve Eevee into Glaceon or Leafeon below.

What Are Glacial / Mossy Lures And How Do I Get Them?

Glacial and Mossy Lures are two new types of Lure Modules in Pokemon Go. Like standard Lures, these can be placed in Poke Stops and will attract certain kinds of Pokemon for a limited time. Glacial Lures will draw in Water- and Ice-types, while Mossy Lures will attract Bug-, Grass-, and Poison-types. There are also Magnetic Lures, which will cause more Electric, Steel, and Rock Pokemon to appear.

At the moment, the only way to obtain the new Lure Modules is to purchase them from Pokemon Go’s in-game store. Each one costs 200 coins and works for 30 minutes when activated. In the future, Niantic says the new Lures will also be distributed as rewards for completing Special Research tasks.

How Do I Evolve Eevee Into Glaceon / Leafeon?

In order to evolve Eevee into one of its Gen 4 forms, you’ll first need to either place a Glacial or Mossy Lure in a Poke Stop, or visit a Stop where one of these is already active. As their names suggest, the Glacial Lure will allow you to evolve Eevee into Glaceon, while the Mossy Lure will allow you to evolve it into Leafeon. If you’re within range of an active Glacial or Mossy Lure, go to Eevee’s detail screen and you’ll have the option to evolve it into its corresponding evolution.

Are There Other Ways To Get Glaceon / Leafeon?

If you don’t have enough coins to spring for a Glacial or Mossy Lure, you can obtain Glaceon or Leafeon by employing the Eevee naming trick. As Serebii details, if you give your Eevee a specific nickname, it’ll evolve into one of the new forms when powered up. Nickname it Linnea to evolve it into Leafeon, or nickname it Rea to evolve it into Glaceon. However, this trick appears to work only once, so you’ll need to get your hands on a Glacial or Mossy Lure if you’re hoping to add more Glaceon and Leafeon to your collection.

Do Any Other Pokemon Evolve With The New Lures?

Like the Glacial and Mossy Lures, the Magnetic Lure also enables certain Pokemon to evolve when placed in a Poke Stop. Specifically, Magneton and Nosepass can evolve into Magnezone and Probopass, respectively, when you’re nearby an active Magnetic Lure. As with Glaceon and Leafeon, to get either of these evolutions, place a Magnetic Lure in a Poke Stop, click on the Pokemon’s detail screen, and you’ll have the option to evolve it into its Gen 4 form.

Long, Average Games Have Value, Too

Here’s a hypothetical question for you. Which is better: an excellent 10-hour game or a decent 50-hour one? One that grips you consistently for a short time, or one that captures your imagination only occasionally across a long time? Of course, there are a whole lot of unknown factors here like genre or price, and obviously the ideal situation would be a big game that’s also varied and engaging. But not every game can be The Witcher 3 or Red Dead Redemption 2, so in a very general sense, which do you personally prefer?

Chances are you know what you’d pick pretty quickly, and it’s also a given that your answer will be the opposite of someone else’s. The debate of ‘quality vs. quantity’ in games doesn’t really have a “right” answer, and I’m not here to try and solve it. But while I think we can all agree on the blanket statement that “games should be good instead of bad,” there’s a case to be made for the value of a game that isn’t really anything special, but is consistently entertaining and will last you a very long time.

Game Of Thrones Season 8 Finale: 36 Easter Eggs And References You Might Have Missed

Universal Studios’ New Harry Potter Roller Coaster: Check Out Photos, Video, And More

The more Universal Studios Orlando reveals about their upcoming Harry Potter-themed roller coaster, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, the more exciting it looks. In addition to the incredibly lifelike animatronic of Hagrid, the theme park has revealed many new details about the immersive ride, as well as a bunch of new photos and a ride-along video of the attraction.

According to Universal Orlando Resort, the coaster is set in an actual forest made up of 1,200 living trees. It also breaks a few roller coaster records, including having the most launches in a single ride–there are seven–and featuring the first free-fall vertical drop on a coaster in the United States, which lets riders fall 17 feet without warning.

The ride is also story-driven, which is unlike what you’ll find on most roller coasters. Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is heavily themed and takes riders through numerous scenes as there encounter various elements from the Harry Potter franchise. An official ride description reads, “As they make their way to their enchanted motorbikes, guests will see materials from the class, including dragon eggs on the verge of hatching and a makeshift nursery where Hagrid kept his Blast-Ended Skrewts–the creatures that are being brought to life for the first time ever for this epic new adventure.” There will also be a pre-show in the ride’s queue, which includes appearances by Hagrid, his trusty dog Fang, and Arthur Weasley.

As you can see in the photos above and the video below, the theming on this particular ride is extensive and loaded with Easter eggs from the Harry Potter franchise–including the Monsters Book of Monsters playing a role in the story. Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure opens at Universal Orlando’s Island of Adventure on June 13.

What’s New to Netflix This Week? Movies, TV, And Originals

Netflix subscribers have plenty to check out on the service this upcoming week, with originals, comedy specials, TV seasons, and movies all hitting every day of the week. It was actually a smaller month for Netflix in May, with a more limited selection compared to what subscribers are used to. Here’s what you can look forward to for the week of May 19.

If you’re a fan of CW’s series based on the characters from DC Comics, you’ll have a lot to binge this week. Season 7 of Arrow arrives on May 21 and Season 5 of The Flash heads to Netflix on May 22.

Additionally, there are plenty of Netflix originals to keep you occupied. Comedian Wanda Sykes has her new special “Not Normal” coming on May 21. The horror anthology series Slasher returns with a new entry, exclusively on Netflix, titled “Solstice.” Someone is murdered at an apartment complex and no one did anything to help, even though there were plenty of witnesses. One year later, someone is extracting revenge on those who wouldn’t help.

On the sci-fi side of things, Rim of the World arrives on May 24, and the movie follows four teenagers stuck at a summer camp while an alien invasion threatens the rest of the world. Finally, sharing a name with a Marvel Comic series–and nothing else– What / If is a new anthology series that explores the decisions people make and the ripple effects they create. It lands on Netflix on May 24.

Pokemon Sword And Shield Will Have Trainer Customization

Since Pokemon X and Y, each mainline installment in the series has allowed you to customize your trainer’s outfit, and it looks like that will be the case in Pokemon Sword and Shield as well. While the games’ reveal trailer hinted that trainer customization would return, the feature was confirmed when clothing retailer Uniqlo announced the winners of its Pokemon t-shirt design competition.

The winning design will not only be made into a real shirt, it’ll also appear in the upcoming Nintendo Switch games as a clothing option for your trainer (via Serebii). Uniqlo’s website shared a pair of screenshots showcasing the male and female trainers wearing the winning shirt rather than their default clothes, confirming you’ll be able to change their outfits. You can take a look at the screenshots below.

It remains to be seen how many different clothing options will be available in Pokemon Sword and Shield. Both Pokemon X/Y and Sun/Moon allowed you to purchase an assortment of different outfits and accessories for your trainer, from hats and glasses to bags and shoes, and that will presumably be the case in Sword and Shield as well. One thing we do know for sure, however, is your avatar will at least be able to don a soccer-like uniform; the male trainer could be seen wearing one as he entered a stadium near the end of the games’ reveal trailer.

Nintendo gave fans their first look at Sword and Shield during a special Pokemon Direct broadcast this past February. While the presentation was fairly brief, it did reveal some important details about the upcoming games. For one, the titles are set in a new region called Galar, which appears to be inspired by the UK. We also got to see the games’ new starter Pokemon: the Grass-type monkey Grookey, the Fire-type rabbit Scorbunny, and the Water-type lizard Sobble.

Pokemon Sword and Shield are slated to launch for Switch in “late” 2019. We’ll presumably learn more about the games during Nintendo’s E3 2019 presentation, which is set to take place on Tuesday, June 11, at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST. Until then, you can check out everything we know about Pokemon Sword and Shield so far.

Call Of Duty Mobile Beta Beginning In Some Regions; Maps, Modes, And More Details Announced

Activision has shared more details on Call of Duty Mobile as the spinoff approaches the regional beta testing phase. The first closed beta is beginning this week in India, with regional tests starting soon in Australia and then following to other territories over the coming months.

A post on the Activision Blog details the upcoming game. A variety of control options let you customize the toggles like sensitivity, gyroscope aiming, field of vision, and sprinting. You can choose Simple Mode, which auto-fires your weapon, or Advanced Mode that uses manual firing along with some other options and HUD customizations. It even boasts 17 sliders for aiming sensitivity.

As a Call of Duty game, of course, you can select up to three Scorestreak equipment like the Recon Car, Air Supply Drop, Missile Strike, Drone, and Sentry Gun. From your Loadout menu you’ll pick a Primary and a Secondary weapon, each with its own optics and attachments, grenades, and perks. Your five loadout slots can be one of several characters from Call of Duty history, including Alex Mason, Soap MacTavish, and Ghost Riley.

So far the studio has announced five modes: Free-For-All, Frontline, Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, and Domination. It will also bring back several well-known Call of Duty maps, including Crossfire, Standoff, Crash, Killhouse, and Firing Range.

You can pre-register through the official site which will also sign you up for a chance at the beta. Additional gameplay modes are still to be announced.

Game Of Thrones Ending: Why Did Jon Snow Say “Love Is The Death Of Duty”?

Like every episode in Season 8, the Game of Thrones finale was full of Easter eggs, as well as callbacks and references to the journey many of the characters have undertaken to get to where they are at the end. A big one in Episode 6, “The Iron Throne,” came during a conversation between Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow that went all the way back to a critical moment in Season 1–one that had a great deal of meaning for Jon. Be warned: We’re talking spoilers for the Game of Thrones series finale here, so read on at your own risk.

After the sack of King’s Landing in Episode 5, “The Bells,” Daenerys has Tyrion arrested for freeing his brother Jaime, going against the queen’s orders and thereby betraying her. Jon meets with Tyrion in his impromptu cell, where Tyrion laments finding out he was wrong about Daenerys. He tries to convince Jon to do something about Dany since Jon is also a Targaryen and has a better claim to the Iron Throne. Jon, of course, struggles with the situation because of his love for Dany, and Tyrion talks about how he understands that Jon loves Dany.

“Love is the death of duty,” Jon responds. He’s remembering a pivotal moment from his past–a conversation he had with Maester Aemon, way back when Jon was new to the Night’s Watch in Season 1. During that discussion, Aemon revealed his true identity as Aemon Targaryen, a man who could have been king, but chose the life of a Maester and a man of the Night’s Watch instead.

At the time, Jon had been considering breaking his new Night’s Watch vows to ride south and join Robb Stark in his campaign to defeat the Lannisters and rescue Ned Stark. Aemon stopped him by telling him a story about how his own vows were tested during Robert’s Rebellion. He wanted to go south to help the other Targaryens, but ultimately, kept to his vows and did his duty. It’s that story that convinces Jon to stay on the Wall and keep his vows, as well.

Jon’s sense of duty has repeatedly been tested by love. He didn’t leave the Wall to aid Robb, which meant that Jon didn’t die at the Red Wedding, but one wonders how Jon’s presence could have helped save Robb’s life. When he went north of the Wall with Lord Commander Mormont, Jon joined the Wildlings he discovered there to find out what Mance Rayder was planning. He fell in love with Ygritte but was unable to betray the Night’s Watch for her, which ended in her death in Season 4 at the Battle of Castle Black. And finally, Jon chose duty over Daenerys, killing the queen before she could hurt anyone else after she destroyed King’s Landing.

In the end, Jon always chooses duty over love. Tyrion gets him on that point before the conversation is over.

“Sometimes, duty is the death of love,” Tyrion says. “You are the shield that guards the realms of men, and you’ve always tried to do the right thing, no matter the cost. You’ve always tried to protect people. Who is the greatest threat to the people now?”

Tyrion knows how important Jon’s sense of honor is to him, just like Maester Aemon did (although Aemon might have given Jon different advice if he’d known that Aemon was Jon’s great-great uncle, or that Jon was intending to kill Aemon’s niece). Jon struggles with whether he made the right call in killing Daenerys, but we’ve seen throughout the show that it was the only one he could have made.
