5 Pokemon You Should Ideally Have 6 Of

by
Community Day Exclusive Pokemon You Should Evolve

If you want to be efficient and powerful in raids, then you need a good team to back you up. And if you want to be really efficient, then you want six of the best Pokemon, and ideally leveled up Pokemon as well. Here are some Pokemon that are just too good and useful. Note that I’m talking about normal Pokemon, because you can only have one Mega Pokemon at a time. I’ve also not included shadow Pokemon since they’re automatically better than anything else. If it’s on this list and can be a shadow Pokemon, then you should use… [Continue Reading]

The Problem with Legendary Raids in Pokemon GO

by

During the Hoenn Tour, we actually had a lot of raiding to do. Both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre had come out, and they were insanely powerful. In fact, they were so powerful that we needed much bigger teams than normal. While a standard Kyogre generally goes down with 4-6 players, Primal Groudon needed 8 for a comfortable victory, and was only just doable with 6 players, all using Megas. The Primal Legendaries were actually a nice bit of challenge, an excuse to bring out all the best gear, for a big fight. But the difficulty of these raids also… [Continue Reading]

Warframes I Should Play More

by
Styanax, ready to strike

Warframe now has over 50 Warframes you can play with. But somehow, I keep on sticking to the same few Warframes. To the point that my time spent as Volt accounts for about a third of my playtime (on both Volt and Volt Prime). However, I could really do with stretching myself a bit and playing some different frames. But what Warframes fill the role I want when playing casually? Volt has always been a jack of all trades, and I want that in other Warframes too. Criteria Volt has got a lot going for him. He can speed through… [Continue Reading]

The Volt Electrolyst Skin

The Volt Electrolyst skin

For a long time, I used to complain how the Volt Proto skin was ugly and not really a deluxe skin. Most deluxe skins generally add more to a Warframe and not less. But the Proto skin was a stripped down Volt, and frankly, it was just really… lame. Particularly the helmet, which I think pretty much everyone replaced with the Volt Arrester Tennogen helmet. Eventually though, Volt would get more skins. Two, in fact. The first one is the Voidshell Volt skin. Voidshell skins came along with the Angels of the Zariman update, and allow you not only to… [Continue Reading]

Slowpoke Community Day

by
A shiny Slowpoke

Community days are always fun, and this is no real exception. Slowpoke is a pretty cute Pokemon (and one of my brother’s favourites) so it’s nice to get something a bit different. Cute little things Both forms of Slowpoke are adorable and a bit useless. Their evolutions on the hand are a bit more interesting. Mainly because they’re being bitten by another Pokemon. It’s almost as parasitic as Paras and Parasect. Anyway there’s plenty of both. The Kanto Slowpoke’s shiny is rather faint, but the Galarian Slowpoke goes yellow all over. If you know me well enough, you can recall… [Continue Reading]

On Not Playing As A Warframe

by
It's been a long, interesting journey...

I’m gonna be honest. I’m not as interested as everyone else is when it comes to the Duviri Paradox. Why? It’s pretty simple. Despite being a huge new island of potential, you start off not playing as a Warframe. For a game called and about Warframes, much of our newer content over the years isn’t really about the Warframes. Sure we have things like Citrine’s Last Wish, which is about a Warframe, but major content drops have been all about nothing but the Warframes. Or even really the Operators. The New War was all about the Drifter, and it seems… [Continue Reading]

A New Beginning with the Duviri Paradox?

by
A Volt enjoying the sunshine with his inflatable rubber ring

Warframe has always had a problem with actually getting into the game. Once you’ve completed Vor’s Prize, it’s a long, often convoluted journey even to complete the star chart. This means that many new players never actually get to try the cool things, like Necramechs and the New War. A lot of the new, fun and interesting stuff actually has a lot of requirements. The New War in particular required both a Necramech and a Railjack. Both of which are… Not so much end-game content, but still pains in the ass to obtain. Railjacks in particular have had their costs… [Continue Reading]

The Little Gap Between Events

by
Pokemon currently spawning in the wild between events

As of writing, there is no event going on in Pokemon GO. The Festival of Colours event has ended, and we’re getting a Team Rocket-based event coming next week. Because there is no event going on, we get basic seasonal spawns. Pokemon that spawn naturally in the wild, based on whatever season we’re in. By ‘season’, I don’t mean normal, in-real-life seasons, I mean the ones in Pokemon GO. They do kinda sorta co-exist with real seasons, but the seasonal spawns aren’t always related to winter or spring or whatever. The current season is Rising Heroes, and we’re expecting more… [Continue Reading]

On Using The Right Counters

by
Primal Groudon

During the Hoenn Tour, one of the main features was doing raids. We were raiding for Groudon and Kyogre, which had reverted into their Primal forms, making them much, much more powerful. They had a  CP of about 90,000 each, which is nearly double what normal legendary Pokemon have. So, in order to defeat these monsters, we needed to use the best teams possible. Did we all do that? Well, I did. Organized teams I had separate teams for both Kyogre and Groudon. Against Primal Groudon, I used a collection of (normal) Kyogres, while using a Mega Gyarados to boost… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays Pokemon Violet – Part 11

by
Doggo is back on his feet!

The last thing that Miraidon needs is the ability to climb walls. Luckily, Miraidon can learn that if we go to Paldea’s massive lake, which is filled with level 50+ Pokemon. Really, I should be staying away from this place. After all, aside from Ringo, all my Pokemon are around level 40, with one of them being only level 35. But here I am, on an island in the middle of a sea, looking for a gigantic Pokemon that’s not there yet. Instead, I find myself battling a Tatsugiri that repeatedly says “Taitan”, giving away that it is in fact… [Continue Reading]
