Pokemon Go Adventure Week Event Announced, Adds New Shiny Pokemon

A new week-long event is kicking off soon in Pokemon Go. Niantic is holding another Adventure Week beginning Tuesday, June 4, and it’ll give players a chance to earn extra rewards, catch some rare Rock-types, and even find a couple of new Shiny Pokemon.

During Adventure Week, Geodude, Rhyhorn, Omanyte, Aron, Lileep, Anorith, and other Rock Pokemon will appear in the wild much more frequently than normal. You’ll also be able to hatch certain Rock-types–such as Onix, Larvitar, Lileep, Anorith, and Shieldon–from 2 km Eggs, and Onix and other Rock Pokemon will appear in Raid Battles. On top of that, you’ll have your first chance to catch Shiny versions of Onix, Lileep, and Anorith.

In addition to increased Rock Pokemon spawns, you’ll earn four times the usual amount of Buddy Candy during Adventure Week, as well as a whopping 10 times the usual amount of XP the first time you spin the Photo Disc at a new PokeStop. If you have Adventure Sync turned on, you’ll also be able to earn 50,000 Stardust and 15 Rare Candies when you walk 50 km.

Finally, Niantic is distributing special Field Research tasks during Adventure Week. As usual, you’ll be able to collect these tasks by spinning the Photo Disc at PokeStops. Adventure Week is scheduled to end at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM BST on June 11. You can read more about the event on the official Pokemon Go website.

Adventure Week isn’t the only Pokemon Go event on the horizon. The game’s next Community Day will take place on Saturday, June 8. The featured Pokemon this month will be Slakoth; not only will it appear in the wild more frequently than normal, it will also be able to learn an event-exclusive move if you manage to evolve it into its final form, Slaking, up to an hour after the event ends. The Legendary Pokemon Cresselia has also returned for a limited time.

The Pokemon Company held a press conference earlier this week, where it announced a handful of new Pokemon games and services, including a new app called Pokemon Sleep that aims to “turn sleep into entertainment.” To coincide with the announcement, the Sleeping Pokemon Snorlax is spawning in the wild in Pokemon Go until June 3.

E3: Here’s What We Want From Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

 Outside of a rather unceremonious title reveal at last year’s EA press conference at E3, not much was known about Jedi: Fallen Order until this year’s Star Wars Celebration convention in Chicago, where developer Respawn Games blew the lid off the game with an hour-long live panel in front of a packed Star Wars loving crowd. At the panel, Respawn debuted a new cinematic trailer, discussed some big story, setting, and character details, and even unveiled the game’s new droid, an adorable little robot named BD-1 who looks like a sentient version of Luke Skywalker’s Macrobinoculars from A New Hope. We learned that the story features new Star Wars hero Cal Kestis, a Jedi padawan trying his best to lay low after the Empire’s Order 66 was enacted to (almost successfully) wipe out all Jedi from the galaxy.

HBO’s Chernobyl Series Is the Summer’s Scariest Monster Movie

Warning: Slight spoilers for HBO’s Chernobyl follow…

With the nightmarish Night King vanquished and go-for-broke Godzilla rampage right around the corner, you might think this year’s summertime scares will come in the form of monstrous Kaiju or sinister lords of frozen death.

What if we told you that the most terrifying thing you’ll see all year is real? A crushing catastrophe from our own recent history. One that opened up the closest thing we’ll ever see to a “Hellmouth.”

HBO’s five-part miniseries, Chernobyl, isn’t just garnering rave reviews because of its stellar performances and sharp direction, but because it’s unrepentantly horrifying. Detailing and dramatizing the devastating 1986 nuclear power plant disaster in northern Soviet Ukraine, Chernobyl unleashes an unnerving and unrelenting assault on the viewer that engages in all forms of terror.
