Pokemon Go Armored Mewtwo: Best Counters, Raid Tips, And How To Catch

Pokemon Go‘s Pokemon Day event is now live. Not only can you find special party hat-wearing versions of Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and other Pokemon for a limited time, but Armored Mewtwo has returned to Raids as well, and this time it knows the Psychic-type Charged attack Psystrike.

Until the Pokemon Day event ends on March 2, Armored Mewtwo will appear in five-star Raids, making this your first chance to catch it since July 2019. If you need help adding one to your collection, we’ve put together some tips on how to battle and capture Armored Mewtwo below.

What’s Different About Armored Mewtwo

The most obvious difference between Mewtwo and this new Armored form is its appearance. This version of the Legendary Psychic Pokemon is wearing the same power-suppressing armor that it dons in the Pokemon movie Mewtwo Strikes Back: Evolution. As a result, it has lower attack power than a standard Mewtwo, but it compensates by having higher defense.

Cyberpunk 2077, PUBG Devs Pull Out Of PAX East

PAX East continues to lose high-level attendees. Following the news that Sony has completely backed out of the show, with Capcom and Square Enix scaling back their plans, two more major companies have announced plans to skip the show over concerns about the coronavirus.

Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red will no longer attend PAX East, communications lead Stephanie Bayer said on Twitter. CD Projekt Red did not plan to demo Cyberpunk 2077 at the event, but some staff was headed to the show, Bayer added.

Bayer said CD Projekt Red won’t travel to Boston for PAX due to concerns about the coronavirus. “Corona, man. We’re mitigating travel risks for folks,” Bayer said. “Trying to keep the team healthy.”

46 Percent of Moviegoers Have ‘Reduced or Stopped Going,’ Says Survey

A new survey has revealed that nearly 50% of surveyed Americans are spending less time at the movies and more at home on streaming services.

Piplsay, a crowd-sourcing company, recently surveyed around 50,000 Americans to take a look at new trends in the entertainment industry. As a result, it found that 46% of moviegoers are spending a “reduced” amount of time at the movie theater or have “stopped going” completely. Further, the survey revealed that 40% of the sample group spends at least two hours a day on streaming services.

While some may speculate that Americans are spending less time at the movies due to the convenience of streaming services, Piplsay has found that this isn’t the sole reason. Around “35% of Americans seem to prefer streaming movies at their own convenience over buying expensive movie tickets,” reports Piplsay.

The price of going to a movie theater has certainly increased over the past few years, with some showings costing a minimum of $10. Further, if moviegoers plan to get popcorn and a drink for the show, this can easily add another $10-20 to the price in some instances.

While the theaters may not be experiencing the same type of crowds it used to, there are still a handful of Americans willing to spend their money at the theater. Just last year, Avengers: Endgame passed Avatar to become the highest-grossing movie of all time, pulling in an impressive $2.79 billion in worldwide box offices.

Further, earlier this year, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker crossed $1 billion in earnings at the global box offices.

While it remains to be seen what the future holds for the world of movie theaters, for now, it seems they’re still doing just fine.

Do you still enjoy going to the movies, or do you prefer to watch them at home? Let us know in the comments below.
