On Luck and Catching

September 14, 2023September 2, 2023 Medic 0 Comments luck, pokemon go, random

Just now, I saw a wild Hariyama. It was just sitting there, minding its own business, being a Pokemon and chilling out. Because I have a Hariyama I want to power up, I decided I was going to catch this wild Hariyama. Now, Hariyama is a big Pokemon. It’s big and wide. That means that it’s easy to get Excellent Throws on it. This Hariyama though refused to catch. I threw multiple Excellent Throws at this Hariyama, but it did not want to catch. It wasn’t even a particularly high CP either, so this was quite frustration. Until, that was,… [Continue Reading]

Galarian Birds and Master Balls

September 4, 2023September 3, 2023 Medic 0 Comments birds, galar, incense, legendary, legendary pokemon, pokemon go

One of my favourite things in Pokemon GO is free things. In this case, I am talking about the Daily Incense. Upon using the Daily Incense, for 15 minutes, you get one spawn a minute, assuming you are moving. The spawns are generally similar to whatever Pokemon are currently spawning, so if there’s an event, you get event spawns, if there’s no event, it’s just normal stuff. However, there are three incredibly rare prizes to be won. When your Daily Incense is on, there is a chance for one of the three Galarian Birds to spawn. The Galarian Birds are… [Continue Reading]

Charmander Classic Community Day

September 3, 2023September 2, 2023 Medic 0 Comments charizard, charmander, community day, pokemon go

Classic Community Days always bring back a Pokemon from the past who previously had a Community Day. In the case of Charmander, it actually already had two community days. The first one gave its evolution Charizard Blast Burn, the standard starter Pokemon fire charge move. The second gave Charizard the fast move Dragon Breath. Both are good moves in their own ways. Charmander’s Classic Community Day was the chance to get both moves at once. Are these moves any good though? Blast Burn certainly is. Charizard is pretty good in raids. Not the best (especially with the likes of Reshiram,… [Continue Reading]

GO Fest 2023 – Day 2

August 29, 2023August 27, 2023 Medic 0 Comments dragon, go fest, mega evolution, pokemon go, rayquaza

Day Two of GO Fest is always a bit more relaxed compared to day one. Mostly. While day one mostly focused on Diancie and collection challenges, day two focused on a lot more raids and featured Mega Rayquaza. Now, Mega Rayquaza is a pretty big thing. It’s so powerful that, in competitive Pokemon battling in the main games, Mega Rayquaza has to be banned. It’s hugely powerful and can completely nullify its weaknesses. In Pokemon GO, it’s not as powerful, but it still does an absolute ton of damage, to the point that it’s one of the most powerful Pokemon… [Continue Reading]

Day One of GO Fest was Fun

I bought a ticket for GO Fest. I’d enjoyed the previous GO Fest events in previous years, so I thought I’d enjoy this one. GO Fest 2023 was a mostly simple but fun event. Was it worth a ticket though? Let’s find out. Just like previous GO Fests, day one of GO Fest 2023 was split into four biomes, which rotated throughout the day. The biomes in GO Fest 2023 were based on minerals, and the main theme was crystals and gems. The Pokemon behind GO Fest was the mythical Pokemon Diancie, a rock/fairy Pokemon that, well, makes crystals and… [Continue Reading]

I wish Daily Pokemon Were More Interesting

August 25, 2023August 14, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

A while back, during the height of the Covid pandemic, Niantic added a couple of little features to Pokemon GO, namely the Daily Pokemon Spawn, a daily research task (the green one) and a ton of extra incense. Later on, they added the Daily Incense, which lasts 15 minutes. These are all little daily addons that all players receive, and allowed players to keep up with weekly breakthroughs. However, all these daily things are a bit… dull. Let’s start off with the free daily Pokemon that everyone gets. Denoted with a white circle, you get one spawn a day guaranteed,… [Continue Reading]

On Nearly Perfect Pokemon

August 20, 2023August 9, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go

When it comes to catching good Pokemon, there’s always a hope that you’ll get a Pokemon with 100% IVs. Getting a Perfect Pokemon is a rare thing, although there are certain ways to increase your chances. These ways include purifying Pokemon, opening research and trading Pokemon, especially with lucky trades. However, the chances are still very low, and even with these options, it’s unlikely you’ll get a hundo. Well, unless you purify a shadow Pokemon with stats at 13 or higher. But you often don’t want to purify Pokemon as shadow Pokemon are stronger. But there are some Pokemon that… [Continue Reading]

Sandshrew Needs To Go Away

August 16, 2023August 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, sandshrew

I’ve complained about individual Pokemon in the past. A while ago, I ranted about how Dragonite is ugly and fat and that Dragonair’s evolution makes no sense. Today, I am going to rant about another Pokemon. A Pokemon also from the Kanto region. In this article, we’re going to talk about Sandshrew. Now, normally, Sandshrew is an okay Pokemon. The name is a bit obvious, but eh, it looks alright. It’s a pretty basic rock/ground type. Sandslash is a bit on the ugly side, but I don’t mind it so much, since I still have a Sandslash I used back… [Continue Reading]

Adventure Week Was Pretty Good

August 15, 2023August 13, 2023 Medic 0 Comments fossil, pokemon, pokemon go

If I’m honest, most of this year’s events in Pokemon GO have been average at best. For some reason, Niantic saves all the good events for various times of the year. February generally has a tour event and some nice anniversary stuff. August contains GO Fest and a variety of enticing events. October has Halloween and December has Christmas. Events in other months are generally not as big and can be quite lame. However, this year’s Adventure Week (which are normally in July) has been a pretty good event. Generally, Adventure Week (actually called Adventures Near and Far, but that’s… [Continue Reading]

Froakie Community Day

For the second month in a row, we’ve had a Water type as our Community Day Pokemon. But for August, we got a nice treat in the form of Froakie Community Day. Froakie is a starter Pokemon that evolves into the insanely popular Greninja. You know, like the Greninja in the anime. Well, not quite, we just got normal Greninja. Which we evolved from normal Froakies. Clearly, Niantic knew this would be a popular Community Day. We got both double stardust and double catch candy as the bonuses, which meant this event was very good for hardcore and casual players… [Continue Reading]
