November 11th featured the first Raid Day in a long time, involving a new Mega Pokemon, Mega Garchomp. While we did have a Gible Community Day a few years back, this event allowed us to finally Mega Evolve the Garchomps we’ve had for so long, as well as the chance to catch some more Garchomps. The Garchomps had a chance to be shiny, and you got up to 5 free raid passes by spinning gyms. There were plenty of raids to be had. As a somewhat new feature, each raid would last 1 hour, and, after the raid ended, a… [Continue Reading]

After so long, it seems like we’re finally getting Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon. It’s been quite a few years since Groudon and Kyogre came out in Pokemon GO, and we’ve all been waiting for their primal forms since they came out.

But lately, Mega Evolutions don’t feel nearly as bad as they used to be. There’s been improvements. One or two raids The first and biggest change is the number of raids you have to do.

A Like and Dislike for Mega Raids in Pokemon GO

March 3, 2022February 25, 2022 Medic 0 Comments mega, mega evolution, mega pokemon, pokemon, pokemon go

It seems that most people have somewhat accepted Mega Pokemon. Now that there are easier ways to earn Mega Candy, and the Megas stay around for 8 hours, it’s all just about acceptable. Yet still, there’s something about Mega Raids that irks me. They’re just not quite right. No one really wants to do them If you’re unlucky enough to miss a debut of a mega Pokemon, then you probably won’t find many people hosting them. At least, that’s the problem I’ve been having with Mega Raids. I couldn’t get people to join in Manectric raids nor Ampharos. But even… [Continue Reading]
