Over $113K worth of rare Pokémon cards stolen from Massachusetts store
A brazen thief stole more than $113,000 worth of Pokémon cards from a Massachusetts store, officials said Friday, launching a real-life Pokémon Go search for the suspect and the rare collectibles. The break-in at 1st Edition Collectibles on Purchase Street in New Bedford, about 60 miles outside downtown Boston, occurred just after 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, police said. The thief "broke in and stole several high-value collectible items," New Bedford police spokesperson Holly Huntoon said in a statement. No arrests had been made as of late Friday morning. "It sucks. I mean, you work hard, and obviously, something like this happening is not a good" thing, store co-owner Sean Vieira told NBC News. "But I mean, it's just money. No one died. So, I mean, it's down to the world." Store owners placed the loss at about $113,650. The stolen Pokémon cards are so rare and valuable that local collectors would be able to recognize them on the market, Vieira said. The store had surveillance cameras, but police have told owners not to disclose many details of the heist as detectives continue their search. Nine summers ago, the Pokémon Go smartphone app was released, sending fans of the fictional Japanese characters into semi-virtual searches on their local streets. Now, Pokémon collectors can help search for these stolen cards similarly. "It's definitely one of those things that I would say that's (the stolen merchandise) pretty easily identifiable for sure," Vieira said. "The cards have serial numbers, and no boxes are the same. So there are imperfections in the boxes that we could probably use to identify, you know, the exact one. Again, it's not a lot of them out there," he added.

Solgaleo comes to Pokémon Go: Here's everything you need to know
Solgaleo, the iconic legendary Pokémon from Pokémon Sun, is now appearing in raids in Pokémon Go. Players have the opportunity to capture this dual Psychic and Steel-type Pokémon during its availability. While Solgaleo may not be optimal for Gym battles, it can be a useful option in Player vs. Player (PvP) encounters. Here are all the details about when Solgaleo will be available in raids, its weaknesses, and recommended counters that can help players add the Pokémon to their collection. Solgaleo in Pokémon Go: Availability dates, weaknesses, battle counter and more Solgaleo returns to Pokémon Go raids starting July 8 and will be available till July 14, 10 am UK time (2.30 pm IST). According to a report by RadioTimes, players aiming to catch this powerful Legendary should prioritise participating in the Solgaleo Raid Hour on July 9, between 6pm and 7pm (UK time), for the best chances. Solgaleo is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon, making it naturally bulky and tough to defeat. To counter it effectively, focus on its Fire, Ground, Ghost, and Dark-type weaknesses. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Anvisa aprova solução para ajudar a reduzir gordura visceral da barriga em 7 dias! Você Mais Saudável Hoje Saiba Mais Undo Recommended attacks include Blast Burn, Shadow Ball, Earth Power, and Precipice Blades. Using powerful Pokémon like Mega Charizard Y , Mega Blaziken, Primal Groudon, Mega Gengar, Mega Garchomp, and Dawn Wings Necrozma can make the battle much easier. Shadow Chandelure and Shadow Heatran are also strong alternatives if available. Avoid using Pokémon weak to Grass or Psychic-type moves, as Solgaleo can deal serious damage with Zen Headbutt and Solarbeam. This means Water and Fighting-types are risky choices. Even if you don't have the top-tier counters, success is still possible if your raid group focuses on the correct type of advantages, the report claims. Also, take advantage of sunny weather, which boosts the power of Fire and Ground-type attacks, to maximise your raid efficiency, the report adds.. Whether you're aiming for your first Solgaleo or adding a stronger one to your collection, preparing the right team is key to a successful raid.
