New Pokemon In Eggs Suck

Another event, another singular new Pokemon and yet again, it’s a Pokemon in an egg. The last few new Pokemon have either been in raids or in eggs. Drampa was in raids, while Revaroom and Charcadet were both locked in eggs. But while new raid Pokemon aren’t too bad, when it comes to egg Pokemon, it is 100% luck. The thing is, you can actively hunt down a new Pokemon either in raids or in the wild. At the very least, finding your first wild new Pokemon is easy, because they have priority on the Nearby radar. Sure, with a… [Continue Reading]

The Shores of Gold Are A Let Down

In my journey to do more of Sea of Thieves’ Tall Tales, I finally managed to start the Shroudbreaker Tall Tale, in which we take the cursed artifact we’ve been putting together in the previous Tall Tales and finally go to the Shores of Gold, the abandoned island hidden within the fog and the red sea, which destroys all ships that pass through it. The Shroudbreaker though allows us to pass through without harm, and we finally reach this mystical place. Except, well, it’s… kinda lame. There’s not even much gold. Even Captain Briggsy, in her journals, is disappointed at… [Continue Reading]

Get Your Shadow Groudon

On Wednesday March 27th, we’ll be getting a new Team Rocket special research, in which we can save Shadow Groudon. Now, people around here might know that Groudon is one of my favourite Legendary Pokemon, and I’m desperate for a chance to add one to my collection. Shadow Groudon will definitely be a good Pokemon to have, since it not only does good damage, but it also isn’t a complete glass cannon, meaning it won’t die instantly. The same can’t be said for Shadow Darumaka/Darmanitan, which are also coming in the World of Wonders: Taken Over event starting on the… [Continue Reading]

Primal Groudon Raid Day

These constant raid days have been great, but damn, my luck has been all over the damn place. Primal Groudon Raid Day is the raid day I’ve been waiting for for a long, long time. One of my goals in Pokemon GO was to get my 100% Groudon to level 50, but it’s becoming more and more clear that this isn’t going to happen, not for a long time, and not without walking every single good Groudon I have. This raid day was pretty much identical to the Primal Kyogre Raid day, except easier. Primal Groudon, being a dual ground/fire… [Continue Reading]

Anyone Else Kinda Tired of Pawmi?

Pawmi is one of those Pokemon. The small, cute, annoying electric type critter that HAS to appear in every single Pokemon game. All vaguely based around Pikachu. Sometimes they look insanely like Pikachu (like Dedenne and Plusle and Minun), sometimes they aren’t quite as obvious (like Pacharisu and Pawmi) but they’re all electric types and they are all a pain the butt. And, just like Pikachu, they always seem to outstay their welcome. And right now, Pawmi has outstayed its welcome in Pokemon GO. This Pokemon has been around for ages. It popped up in the Paldea season (two seasons… [Continue Reading]

Working My Way Through Tall Tales

Tall Tales in Sea of Thieves are basically story quests. It turns out, the pirate sandbox game has a decent backstory, when it can be bothered to tell it and not hide it away in one-off adventures and events. There are three main ‘series’ of Tall Tales, the original 9 Sea of Thieves Tall Tales, the five Pirates of the Caribbean Tall Tales and the three Monkey Island Tall Tales. Doing all of them takes a good chunk of time, and, honestly, they’re not even that fun. Okay, sure, the stories themselves are fine, even if they are a bit… [Continue Reading]

The Sea of Thieves 2024 Teaser Thingy

I don’t normally follow Sea of Thieves updates up close and personal, but I somehow managed to stumble across the Sea of Thieves 2024 Preview Event just before it started, and damn, I am glad I watched it. Sure, Season 11 has been pretty good, what with it giving people a reason to rank up with factions again, but what’s been teased for Seasons 12 to 14 are, well, pretty game-changing. The 2024 preview only goes over some of the major upcoming changes, but damn, everything they teased was great. If anything, the very last thing they teased, Owl pets,… [Continue Reading]

On Nundos

In Pokemon GO and Pokemon in general, most people want a Pokemon with perfect stats. A lot of people call these Pokemon ‘Hundos’, because they have 100% IVs, the maximum in every stat. Now, Hundos are technically pretty rare, and they’re mostly luck-based. While there are ways to increase your chances at getting a Hundo (via Research, doing lots of raids and getting Lucky Trades), there’s technically something a lot rarer than a Hundo: a Nundo. A Pokemon with 0% IVs. And I secretly love these guys. Checking my Pokemon GO storage, I have about 100 Pokemon with perfect IVs.… [Continue Reading]

Primal Kyogre Raid Day

Honestly, I love all these raid days. An event with free raid passes and a cool Pokemon. Mostly. Primal Kyogre though is one hell of a raid boss, and definitely something you need a good team with. This Pokemon hits like a truck, even if you resist water moves, doubly so if it’s raining and Kyogre is weather-boosted. While you CAN do a Primal Kyogre raid with 5 accounts, you need 5 GOOD accounts with level 35+ Pokemon and a TON of revives, especially if Kyogre has Blizzard as its charge move. Blizzard is by far the worst move because… [Continue Reading]

Litten Community Day

I’m gonna be blunt, I don’t like Incineroar. I think it looks smug and stupid and it was CLEARLY designed to be yet another fire/fighting type starter until Gamefreak realized they couldn’t add a fourth fire/fighting starter after Combusken, Infernape and Emboar. In the main games, it’s overly popular and a pain in the ass, and its shiny kinda doesn’t look as good as that of its pre-evolutions. Either way, Litten finally got its shiny release and Community Day in Pokemon GO. It was fine. And it was nice to see the x3 catch XP come back. Getting 7000 XP… [Continue Reading]
