Pokémon of the Day
Why, I'm a good, nay great... I mean, the best new Pokémon! Yeah, that's the ticket!
December 13, 1999
Mondays are special days indeed for Pokémen and women -- every Monday, IGNpocket will be sneaking into this country and (onto our web site) one of the brand new Pokémons from the Japanese Silver and Gold Pokémon games. You won't be able to catch these newest Pokécritters until the games' release in September, 2000, so this is your only chance to get your Pokédose of Pokémania for almost a year. There are 100 new Pokémons total, so keep coming back to IGNpocket to catch them all!
Once you learn all about this Pokémon, head on over to our Contest page where you must answer one question about this Pokémon. Get the answer right, and you'll be entered to win the Pokémon prize of that day. But to win, you'll have to register – it's a painless process, and well worth the three minutes of your time.

Why, I'm a good, nay great... I mean, the best new Pokémon! Yeah, that's the ticket!
Soon to be the most famous liar since Jon Lovitz' Tommy Flanagan (President of the Pathological Liars' Association), Usokki is a perplexing Pokémon. He looks like a tree, but his body is made of stone. He will mimic others' moves, just like Ditto.
There are many other oddities that surround Usokki, but you'll have to learn those idiosyncrasies when you catch this Pokémon -- and he's so rare that you may never get to do that. In fact, like Snorlax, this Pokémon only comes out twice in the game, so if you miss him, you may never get another chance.
Useless factoid: Usokki is a play on the Japanese words Usoki (which means fake tree) and Usotsuki (which means liar).
NOTE: The name of this Pokémon will likely change when the Silver and Gold Pokémon Game Boy Color games are translated and brought over. Names of Pokémons are plays on words (both in Japan and the US), so expect the names to be witty and charismatic translations of the Japanese names.
Now that you've gotten your Pokélesson and you are a Pokéscholar, take this info over to our Pokémon Contest and enter yourself for a chance to win some great Poképrizes. Get the answer right, and you may win yourself the Pokémon Prize Pack -- A Special Edition Pokémon Game Boy Color system, a copy of every Game Boy Pokémon game available in the US (including Pokémon Yellow, Red, Blue, and Pinball), and Official Trainers Manual and Field Guides for Pokémon Yellow, Blue, and Red. It's a super Pokéfreak-out! So take the Pokéchallenge, and put some Poké in your pocket!
If you haven't registered, get your butt over to our Registration page and put all the pertinent information so you get in on the goods.
