\"Gliscor\"<\/p>\n

With Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield only a few months away, we’re all looking for a way to satisfy our Pok\u00e9mon craving. Luckily, there are free options online to scratch our Pok\u00e9mon itch!<\/p>\n

How to play Pok\u00e9mon online for free<\/h2>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Showdown<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Showdown\"<\/p>\n

If you are into competitive battling, you’ve probably heard about Smogon<\/a>. If you don’t, Smogon is the online tier list for ranking Pok\u00e9mon in terms of battle capability. Although this tier list is not official with the Pok\u00e9mon Company, it is the go-to standard for battling within the Pok\u00e9mon community.<\/p>\n

Showdown is a battling simulator run through Smogon. Through it, you can make teams and battle against other players across the globe. To make things even better, you can play in whatever tier you want. What truly makes the simulator great is that you don’t need to catch and train the Pok\u00e9mon yourself!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Insurgence<\/h3>\n

\"Insurgence\"<\/p>\n

There is no shortage of Pok\u00e9mon fan games. However, there are only so many good ones. For every decent fan game you find, there are about 50 awful ones that aren’t worth your time. In the sea of bad fan games lies Pok\u00e9mon Insurgence, the best fan-man Pok\u00e9mon game ever created.<\/a><\/p>\n

In order to play it, you’ll need to download something like Wineskin:<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Insurgence has all the same great mechanics of the best Pok\u00e9mon games. It also has some unique features that are both fan-servicey and fun! For example, the creators gave certain mons new forms called Delta forms. Delta forms give Pok\u00e9mon a new look, new typings, and new abilities.<\/strong> It’s essentially Alolan forms before Alolan forms existed.<\/p>\n

Universal Pok\u00e9mon Randomizer<\/h3>\n

\"random\"<\/p>\n

Nothing beats the classic Pok\u00e9mon games. However, we sometimes wish we could include some of the more modern features. Enter the Universal Pok\u00e9mon Randomizer<\/a>: the website that can give you the most unique Pok\u00e9mon experience possible.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you want a completely random set of starters? Done. Do you want to bring new mons to old games? Simple. Do you want to find random items including Master Balls throughout the overworld? Absolutely!<\/p>\n

Wrapping up<\/h2>\n

We cannot wait for Sword and Shield and whatever new mons will be inhabiting the new region<\/a>. Until then, you better believe we will be schooling other players on the Showdown in the meantime!<\/p>\n
