Necrozma Raid Day

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Oof my luck. I think Necrozma hates me. Okay, I do love me my raid days. And since this season’s bonuses includes 2 orange raid passes a day, you could squeeze out 8 free raids. Normally though, I get a shiny, and with raid days, the chances are apparently 1/10. So I made the mistake of buying raid passes. After 21 raids, the best I got was one 14/15/14 Necrozma, and a 2-star XXL Necrozma. No shinies, none with decent IVs. Also managed to get a 10/10/19 one. And it sucked knowing everyone else was getting shinies – I can… [Continue Reading]

To Be Honest, This Go Wild Event Is Kinda Boring

Medic 0 Comments , , , , ,

I kinda understand why we have the Go Wild event. It feels like a stop-gap between the massive Go Fest event in the summer, and the regional tours in spring. But this Go Wild event kinda doesn’t really have much going for it, apart from Toxel and Toxtricity. And even then? It’s… it’s just eh. I suppose it’s better if you buy the ticket for the event. You get extra stuff. Some raid passes, some Max Particles. Things like that. Nothing mind-blowing though. You do get a Toxtricity and extra candy and half hatch distance, but Toxtricity is all over… [Continue Reading]

I Actually Like Dynamax Stuff… Mostly

Medic 0 Comments ,

With the Max Out ‘season of Galar’ season, a new gimmick has been added to Pokemon GO: Dynamax Battles. Basically, they’re like normal raids, where you fight against a larger than normal Pokemon. But this time round, the raid boss is absolutely huge and, after a little effort, YOU can become absolutely huge too. The main difference is that Dynamax Pokemon are very tanky, you only have a team of 3 Pokemon and you do the most damage by Dynamaxing yourself. You do this by slowly filling up a bar (and occasionally swiping left or right to collect power ups)… [Continue Reading]

Falinks Raid Day and Some Raid Weirdness

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

There’s something fucky going on with raids right now. The raid bosses are broken. I noticed this first when doing a Lucario raid (need that XL Candy!) and I noticed that the raid boss was doing charge attacks way more often than normal. Later on, I was invited to a Kyogre raid and I realized something was very, very wrong. It basically did Blizzard after Blizzard after Blizzard. In fact, the Kyogre was doing Blizzard charge attacks as fast or faster than my own Pokemon were. Thankfully, there were 17 people in this raid and the Kyogre still died (and… [Continue Reading]

Popplio Community Day

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

As much as I think the Popplio line is ugly, I’ve been waiting for this one for a while. You see, about a year ago, I actually managed to hatch a hundo. And that hundo has been sitting there, waiting to be evolved, for fucking ages. In fact, today, during the Popplio Community Day, I evolved a Brionne into a Primarina for the first time. Sure, I need to power her up, but still, I finally got a Primarina. It’s always worth waiting for starter Pokemon Community Days. Very few starter Pokemon are fine without their Community Day moves, the… [Continue Reading]

Wonderblades – My First Level 50 Legendary

Medic 1 Comment , ,

In January 2019, I caught a Groudon. It caught on the second to last Pokeball. Back then, I was only just level 30, and I didn’t have very many counters. It had also taken 5 people to beat the raid, because the best water type back then was Kyogre with Surf, and it hadn’t been available since January 2018 when it was first released, so many people didn’t have the candy to power one up to level 40. At the time, I was using stuff like Blastoise and Venusaur and whatever grass types I could get my hands on. This… [Continue Reading]

Niantic Doesn’t Want You To Get Mega Rayquaza

Medic 0 Comments , ,

The Primal Groudon and Kyogre raid days we had earlier this year were great. They were accessible to plenty of players, you could use remote raids and, most importantly, there were lots of them. Every single gym had a raid on it, and those raids refreshed every hour. This meant that, even if you only had one gym, you could do three raids. Mega Rayquaza though, he was made STUPIDLY inaccessible. First off, he didn’t get a raid day. He got an Elite Raid Day. Which meant that, instead of every gym having a raid on it, only some gyms… [Continue Reading]

Goomy Community Day

Medic 0 Comments , , , , ,

Jeez, it was hot yesterday. It’s still really hot today. The middle of a heatwave. Which is why I played Goomy Community Day on my own. Most of it. I spent the last half an hour playing while also messaging my sister and letting her know that one of her favourite Pokemon was spawning right now. Not wanting to walk around in the sun and knowing that town hall, where I normally play, would be busy because of the elections, I decided to go to the mall, which does get a decent amount of spawns, and had three Pokestops and… [Continue Reading]

Why are all these spawns the same?

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Okay so, new season here, and it’s… uh… off to a rocky start. At least, it is in my eyes. The release of the schedule for June has been a bit lame, what with Mega Rayquaza being stuck in Elite Raids (rather than a raid event like the Primals were), the Community Classic day being Cyndaquil (with no way of getting Blast Burn on Hisuian Typhlosian) and Goodra’s special Community Day move being Thunder Punch, a move that has just been given to a TON of other Pokemon for free. And while we got a really nice splash screen for… [Continue Reading]

Bounsweet Community Day

Medic 0 Comments , ,

You know what? This community day fucking sucked. Bounsweet is one of those small, annoying Pokemon with a kinda meh shiny, a fucky hitbox and no windup for its attack animation. And, for some reason, it’s getting a Community Day before something useful, like the next starter Pokemon, Popplio. This stupid little berry Pokemon apparently is getting its chance to shine in the spotlight. Why? No idea. But this Pokemon is a bastard. It’s small, hard to catch and attacks a lot. And before you say “get good”, I want to point out that I can reliably land excellent throws… [Continue Reading]
