Flamigo’s PvP Debut: Speed, Power, and the Moveset Makeover

Flamigo arrives as the top new Flying/Fighting in Pokemon Go PvP, delivering a fast 4.0 energy-per-turn Double Kick and the improved Upper Hand move (no drawback, with a 30% defense debuff) to fuel Brave Bird and strong 1v1/2v2 play in Great League and Ultra League. While not as bulky as Hawlucha or Galarian Zapdos, its energy-generating edge and versatile moveset create competitive pressure against key metas, including Gourgeist, Marowak, Sableye, and Talonflame. It’s not earth-shattering, but Flamigo looks like a positive, potentially meta-shaping addition to the PvP scene.

Flamigo's Meta Edge: A Spice Pick Worth the Grind

Flamigo, a Gen 9 Flying/Fighting Pokémon, is analyzed for Pokémon GO's current metagame. In PvE raids it underperforms compared with top Flying and Fighting attackers, while in PvP it offers spice via Double Kick, Upper Hand, and Brave Bird that can counter some meta threats, making it a potential anti-meta pick in Great League, but it's still outclassed in Ultra and Master Leagues. Grinding Flamigo may be worth mainly for an event Stardust bonus and for potential niche PvP uses; there is no signature move, only a Costar ability, and no guaranteed meta breakthrough. Bottom line: not a go-to raid pick, but a fun, spicy option for specialists and theme cups.

Wildlight’s Highguard aims to outpace Overwatch with 3v3 PvP and cosmetics-only monetization

Wildlight’s debut game Highguard is a 3v3 PvP siege shooter launching Jan 26, 2026 across PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5 with cross-play. The team emphasizes differences from Overwatch and Concord, offering a free-to-play, cosmetics-only monetization model (no RNG or pay-to-win) and an episodic content plan through 2026. At launch it includes five maps, six bases, eight Wardens, three mounts, ten weapons and a suite of raid tools, all developed by a ~100-person team that aims for long-term engagement rather than a quick exit.

Pokémon GO Harvest Festival: New Pokémon, Tasks, and Bonuses

Hydrapple, a new Grass/Dragon-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO, has decent stats but struggles in PvP across all leagues, performing better in Master League due to its high CP but still lacking competitive viability. Its move pool favors Dragon Tail with Outrage for damage, but overall, it doesn't outperform existing Grass Dragons like Flapple or Alolan Exeggutor, and its meta potential appears limited without new signature moves or fast moves. The Pokémon's resistances and weaknesses further hinder its effectiveness in battles.

Overwatch 2 Season 18: New Skins, Hero, and Major Updates
