As part of Pokémon Go Fest 2021, Niantic is adding in several special bonuses and encounters, like Meloetta and other Pokémon that will only be available during the event.  One of those bonuses is a new set of event-exclusive Special Research that will force players to make certain decisions, which will then branch off and change what rewards will be given once you finish specific tasks.  The main appeal of the Special Research, outside of grabbing a bunch of bonus items and rare encounters, is the fact both Pop Star Pikachu and Rock Star Pikachu are available as rewards.

Riot Games revealed a few of the changes coming to League of Legends in Patch 12.6 earlier today. And when it comes to items and runes, some of the game’s most powerful options in the lifesteal department are set to be hit with some heavy nerfs.
