Pokemon Go Equinox Event Live: Full Schedule, Shiny Oddish Reveal?

With spring finally making an appearance and everything turning green, Niantic Labs wasn’t going to miss on the occasion! They’re celebrating the rebirth of nature with a new event that will focus on Oddish, a Grass-type Pokémon.

Pokemon Go Equinox Event: Schedule, Rewards, Shinies!

No matter what you like to do in Pokemon Go, there are different things out there. Let’s see what you should expect during the Pokemon Go Equinox Event.

The Equinox event will have Grass-type Pokemon spawn a lot more often than before, so expect to see Oddish, Exeggcute, Shroomish, and Sunkern in the world. We will also see some shinies, changes to the raids and trainer battles, research tasks and more.

Schedule

The Equinox Event starts Tuesday, March 19 at 4 p.m. EST, and will end on March 26 at 4 p.m. EST.

We mentioned that Oddish will appear in the game and that we will see some shinies. Niantic didn’t confirm whether Shiny Oddish will make an appearance during the event, and the photo of the Pokemon only reveals the regular Gen 1 Grass and Poison-type Pokémon.

Oddish and its evolutions didn’t come in Shiny versions in Pokémon Go, but maybe the rare version will come during this event. The Shiny Oddish has a Green color instead of the blue one.

Research Tasks and Rewards

The event’s research tasks can be obtained from PokeStops, and the rewards should be the Grass-type Pokémon.

Switching Pokemon

Solrock and Lunatone from the Hoenn region will shift their spawning habitat during this event: Lunatone is now in West, and Solrock in East, but when the event will begin, they will swap places so that trainers can catch them both. After the event finishes, the two will remain in the new habitats.

Raids and Bosses

Expect to see Bosses in raids be replaced with Grass-type Pokémon.

New Moves For Your Pokemon

We will also see new moves: Acid Spray (Poison-type) and Leaf Tornado (Grass-type), both moves that can be learned by Poison-type and Grass-type Pokemon:

Acid Spray move: Arbok, Victreebel, Tentacruel, Muk, Alolan Muk, Quagsire, Qwilfish, Octillery, Swalot.

Leaf Tornado move: Shiftry, Victreebel.

Stay close for more updates about the event!

Pokemon Go can be found in Google Play Store or the App Store. Alteratively, you can get the current version of the Pokemon Go APK file – 0.137.2 (updated on 14 March), which can be safely sideloaded on your handheld device. You may download it from APKMirror.

Clash Of Clans Daily Challenges Now Live

Get ready to receive some awesome rewards in Clash of Clans! Even though Clan Games is nearly over, you will surely be very busy with the many daily tasks Supercell’s Clash of Clans team has prepared for you. Here is the full list below.

March: Two Weeks of Daily Events

The first week comes with an event every day:

  • Monday – 18 March -> Just One More Win
  • Tuesday – 19 March -> Daily Routine: Home Village
  • Wednesday – 20 March -> Builder Base Stars
  • Thursday – 21 March -> Home Village Havoc
  • Friday – 22 March -> Builder Base
  • Saturday – 23 March -> Clan Reinforcements
  • Sunday – 24 March -> Technically Not Stealing

The second week has not yet been posted on Twitter by the team, but someone on Reddit revealed the next week’s event (the 31 March event not shown yet):

  • Monday – 25 March -> In The Garden
  • Tuesday – 26 March -> Hero Hunting
  • Wednesday – 27 March -> Upgrade Time!
  • Thursday – 28 March -> Siege In Progress
  • Friday – 29 March -> Builder Base Bash-Em-Up
  • Saturday – 30 March -> Chaarrggee!

The daily events should give players XP and probably something more exciting, but there are no details yet from the Clash of Clans devs about them.

Some players on Twitter have asked the team for significant rewards like hero, builder, or troop instant upgrades, not army boosts or other small rewards. Let’s hope they increase the rewards!

These events should be pretty easy. However, you can check out our Guides for Clash of Clans to find better ways to complete the tasks or just be a better Chief! Also, remember to play by the rules, and respect other players.

Check back here for more Clash of Clans updates.

Google Chrome 73 Supports DuckDuckGo Search Engine In Specific Regions

The new Google Chrome 73 update has arrived with an exciting addition. Google has decided to add a new service to the list of default search engines which are offered in each market, improving the selection of search engine options which are bundled with Chrome. Now, Google Chrome supports the DuckDuckGo search engine, but only in specific regions.

It is interesting that Google opted to add direct rivals in the form of the popular DuckDuckGo (DDG) and Qwant. The two search engines focus on privacy, a feature which seems to be quite detrimental when you are looking at the potential to generate revenue by offering targeted ads.

Google has become the target of several accusations as some voices argue that the company is charged with market-distorting behavior both in the US and other countries. Many governments have started to question the popularity of the search service, and they believe that competition laws should be changed.

Google Chrome Supports DuckDuckGo Search Engine Across 60 Countries

New regulations may restrict the power of larger platforms while favoring the development of smaller technology companies which have to potential to push real innovation. A high-ranking Google employee has noted that the addition of the DuckDuckGo search engine to Google Chrome was motivated by the usage statistics which were collected from users.

DDGo is now offered as an option in more than 60 countries. The founder of DuckDuckGo saluted the decision, adding that this acceptance of the pro-privacy search engine shows that Google cares about the privacy of its users. DuckDuckGo search engine has become popular in recent years, and it has spearheaded the spread of pro-privacy products among casual Internet users. Data mining suggests that Google planned to add DDG since December 2018 to Google Chrome, when the company agreed to offer the duck.com domain to DuckDuckGo.

On the other hand, the co-founder of Qwant said that Google made a great choice but advised users to use Mozilla Firefox or Brave as better alternatives. Chrome 73 arrives with other improvements that make the popular browser even better. The new update is now available worldwide.

Samsung Galaxy Buds – Are They Worth It?

Wires are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Wireless charging is gradually replacing traditional charging, and headphones become less and less popular as well. The Samsung Galaxy Buds, for instance, are a convenient alternative.

The latest generation was launched recently, and the buds are shipping with Galaxy S10. The new Galaxy Buds are the successor of the Samsung IconX, and they manage to bring several enhancements. Let’s talk about them.

Samsung Galaxy Buds – Everything You Have To Know

First of all, if we take a look at the case of the Galaxy Buds, we can see that there is a significant improvement. The case is smaller and lighter than the previous one, which makes it simple to carry it around.

In the box, you can find three different shapes of rims for the earbuds, and you can choose the one that matches your outer ears the best. The Galaxy Buds themselves are also a lot lighter. The most significant improvement is the fact that they have brand new features and sensors.

The battery life of the Galaxy Buds is excellent, and they can last for six hours. More than that, the buds are not uncomfortable, and you can use them for a more extended period. One disadvantage that we must mention is the fact that the earbuds have almost no bass. That can be a problem for some users.

It is also important to note that the Galaxy Buds are better for music than they are for speaking. While there are four microphones, they are not great, and there are some issues during calls.

Compared to the previous Samsung buds, we can notice that the personal coach is no longer there and there is a sensor that you can use if you want to hear what’s happening around you.

Microsoft Edge Based On Chromium Leaked Online In Some Images

Microsoft announced back in December 2018 that the company will rebuild Edge with the help of Chromium technology offered by Google. The primary reason for the change is the fact that it will provide a better experience for Windows 10 users and web developers alike.

Chromium is an open-source project which can be easily accessed and customized by any interested entity or individual. If the features added are deemed to be useful Google has the freedom to add them in a future version of Chrome without the need to ask for the permission of the creator. Opera was the first independent browser which switched to Chromium. Apple’s Safari and Mozilla Firefox are independent for now, but the situation could change in the future.

Microsoft Edge launched as a replacement for Internet Explorer, as the latter gained an infamous reputation, with many PC users declaring that it’s the best tool for downloading other browsers.

Microsoft Edge Based On Chromium Leaked Online In Some Images

A series of screenshots have been leaked, revealing how the future Microsoft Edge based on Chromium looks in the current stage of development. Those that hoped for a different default search engine will be disappointed to learn that Microsoft is still pushing Bing as the default solution.

The new tab features a minimalistic design. The address bar and the placement of the Settings and Extensions icons are quite similar to the default layout used by Chrome. When a new tab is open, an image of the day will be shown in the background with a Bing search bar being featured in the middle of the image. In the lower part of the page, the users will be able to click on a row which highlights the most visited web sites and a larger new tab button.

The screenshots look quite promising but what we see is almost certainly an alpha version. Until a stable version is released in the future, Microsoft has enough time to change it and add a little bit of personality.
