A Free Mewtwo!

by
I didn't tell him it was a guaranteed hundo.

So there’s been a fuckton of 10th Anniversary stuff in Pokemon GO. And I get why! It’s a game that’s done exceptionally well! We’ve had all sorts of cool stuff, like a mostly free GO Fest, all the Unowns available in incense, new mega Pokemon, the release of Mega Mewtwo and the mythical Pokemon Zeraora and a day of 10x XP. Pokemon GO has also made tons of money from this, but it’s all mostly been great, whether you are a F2Per or a whale. So many cool things celebrating a big event. There was one little setback. Before GO… [Continue Reading]

The Shadow Mewtwo Event Should Have Been A Proper Raid Event

by
A Shadow Mewtwo

On June 27th and 28th 2023, we had an event featuring Shadow Mewtwo in 5-star raids. The event was alright, but it could have been so much better. Here’s how I would have done the event. But first, let’s quickly discuss the actual event. Just a normal day There were no special boosts or anything for the weekend. It was part of the Team Rocket takeover event that introduced shadow raids in general. This would have been fine, but the raid pool was filled with not just Mewtwo, but the 1-star and 3-star shadow raids as well. At least, that… [Continue Reading]

Shadow Raids in Pokemon GO

by
A Beldum shadow raid

To finish off Season 10: Rising Heroes, Pokemon GO now has Shadow Raids, where you can encounter Shadow Pokemon outside of Team Rocket pokestops and balloons. So are these raids any good? Or is it better to save your raid passes? There’s certainly a few decent raids to do. 1-star and 3-star raids There are currently three types of Shadow Raid. We have 1-star raids which include Bellsprout, Poliwag and Beldum. These 1-star raids work exactly the same as normal raids, except Team GO Rocket have covered everything with their R logo. You don’t need to do anything special for… [Continue Reading]

My Favourite Semi-Rare Pokemon from Pokemon GO

by

In Pokemon GO, I have nearly 2000 Pokemon. While that number can be decreased, there’s also plenty of cool Pokemon in that collection. In fact, I have several pretty cool Pokemon that could actually be considered kinda rare. Here are some of them. Perfect Armoured Mewtwo Armoured Mewtwo is an odd one. The actual armour doesn’t actually look that great. In fact, it looks over-designed and nit at all comfy in any way. But this particular Armoured Mewtwo was actually a tie-in for a Pokemon movie that was coming out at the time. Either way, we actually haven’t seen this… [Continue Reading]

You NEED to finish the “An Inter-egg-sting Development” Research!

by
Mewtwo and Mew

After months of staying in hiding, Giovanni is back with a new plan. There are new shadow eggs that contain… honestly pretty basic Pokemon, and we need to, uh, liberate them from Team Rocket! Alongside these new eggs, we have a new special research! And unlike the old Team Rocket special researches, this one is important. It has some pretty damn good rewards. But you gotta work for them. I’m gonna cut to the chase. You can’t miss out on these rewards. The new special research gives two things: Firstly, at the very end of the research, it gives you… [Continue Reading]

On Trying to Decide Who My Next Buddy Should Be – Pokemon GO

by
So many buddies, so little time...

After a day of being excited from Team Rocket battles during GO Fest, I finally became Best Buddies with my Tyranitar Wondershadow. It took me just over a month to get to Best Buddies, mostly because I’ve not been as active as normal. Well, outside of events like GO Fest. But I managed to get Wondershadow to be excited after constantly battling with him, and the extra hearts I earned were just enough to push me over the edge and get to Best Buddies. But with Wondershadow the Tyranitar satisfied, I wondered who I should walk next. After all, that… [Continue Reading]

The Eternal Question of What To Power Up Next

by
Groudon and Mewtwo chat as Raikous fight a massive Kyogre

After trying to get an EX Pass for weeks (and only getting one because a ton of new EX Gyms were added), I am finally the proud owner of a Shadow Ball Mewtwo. It’s a mediocre Mewtwo with a mere 11 Attack and not really any good stats anywhere else, but it’s a Mewtwo with a rare legacy move that makes it super strong. So of course I’ve had people suggest I power it up. But should I power it up? I mean it IS a Mewtwo. With Shadow Ball. I have lots of Mewtwos though. About 30, to be… [Continue Reading]

Oh, Hey, Shiny Mewtwo Is Here in Pokemon Go…

by
Mewtwo and Mew

What was that? Is that the sound of Mewtwo coming around to kick my Pokemon’s asses as he reappears in level 5 raids for a week? Why yes, yes it is! As of Monday (well, Tuesday for people not in the Americas), Mewtwo is replacing Deoxys as the level 5 raid boss and, for the first time ever, he’s appearing in shiny form. Which means everyone wants him. Yeah, that sounds just about right, especially since I ranted about how Mewtwo isn’t that amazing when it comes to Pokemon Go. At least, he’s not as amazing as everyone assumes. And… [Continue Reading]

On Mewtwo

by
Mewtwo and Mew

While we’re on the subject of Pokemon, I think it’s worth having a quick chat about Mewtwo. Because Mewtwo is by far the best legendary Pokemon. By far. You ask someone to name a rare, legendary Pokemon, chances are, it’s Mewtwo. Heck, Mewtwo’s so badass that he was the first legendary Pokemon to get a Mega Evolution. For someone so old, Mewtwo still has a ton of pulling power. A lot of it has to do with the fact that pretty much everyone my age watched that first Pokemon movie. Sure, Mewtwo’s the bad guy, but he’s a smart Pokemon… [Continue Reading]

A Perfect Ending to a Mythical Discovery

by

After so damn long, I finally managed to finish A Mythical Discovery, the special research in Pokemon Go for Mew. I got stuck on this quest so many damn times. But it all finished very abruptly and probably in the best way possible. So the Mew quest is a bit of a funny one, and is actually a requirement if you want to do the Celebi quest. The Celebi quest unlocks when you reach stage 4 of 8 of A Mythical Discovery. But both quests are pretty similar, with the same old series of steps. The Mew quest though doesn’t… [Continue Reading]
