Pokemon Go Adds New Gen 5 Legendary Today

Heatran is leaving Pokemon Go, but a new Legendary is on its way to the game. Tornadus, one of the Legendary Pokemon from the Unova region in Pokemon Black and White, will make its debut in Raid Battles beginning today, February 4, at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET, making this your first chance to catch one in Niantic's hit mobile game.

Until February 25, you'll be able to encounter Tornadus in five-star Raids. Before you can catch the Legendary, you'll first need to team up with other players and battle it; if your group is able to successfully defeat Tornadus, everyone who participated in the Raid will earn a handful of Premier Balls and a chance to capture it.

Tornadus is part of the Forces of Nature trio, alongside Thundurus and Landorus. As a pure Flying Pokemon, Tornadus is especially vulnerable to Rock-, Electric-, and Ice-types like Rhyperior, Raikou, and Mamoswine, so your best bet to catch one is to bring along Pokemon of those types when challenging it.

If you don't yet have a Rhyperior, you'll have a chance to get one later this month. After a day of fan voting, Niantic announced that the featured Pokemon for February's Community Day will be Rhyhorn. Not only will you have your first chance to catch a Shiny Rhyhorn during the event, but you'll also be able to get the exclusive Rock-type attack Rock Wrecker if you can evolve it all the way into its final form, Rhyperior, up to two hours after the Community Day ends.

Similarly, you'll have another opportunity to add a Raikou to your collection this month. A new Special Research quest revolving around Team Rocket is now live. As before, the questline culminates in a battle with Team Rocket boss Giovanni, and if you can defeat him, you'll have a chance to catch a Shadow version of Raikou. You can read more about how to catch and purify Shadow Pokemon in our guide.

Niantic has a ton of other events lined up for Pokemon Go this month. A new batch of Field Research tasks is also now live, and if you complete enough to achieve a Research Breakthrough this month, you'll get a chance to catch another debuting Gen 5 Pokemon: Woobat.

Kenny Omega's AEW Dynamite Entrance Is A Love Letter To Undertale

It's no secret that professional wrestler and executive vice-president of All Elite Wrestling Kenny Omega loves video games. And on the October 30 episode of TNT's weekly wrestling show, AEW Dynamite, Omega showed off his love for Undertale . Before he entered the ring, his video package played a 16-bit cutscene that was very reminiscent of the game, featuring a yellow and red disembodied head, which is totally a knock at the New Japan Pro Wrestling's logo--a company Omega wrestled for--explaining Omega left all his friends and now, he's all alone. This includes a silhouette of Omega's former tag team partner, Kota Ibushi. You can check out the video for yourself below. The sound effects and dialogue from the end of that section are taken directly from Undertale. After the video package ended, Omega entered wearing a Sans mask, while Megalovania--the song from the game--played in the arena. Surprisingly, this worked incredibly well as entrance music for one of t...
