Shadow Raids in Pokemon GO

May 29, 2023May 28, 2023 Medic 0 Comments mewtwo, pokemon go, raid, 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]

On Constantly Running Out of Pokemon Storage

May 28, 2023May 18, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, storage

In order to play Pokemon GO, you need plenty of Pokemon storage. Even if you play very conservatively, you will eventually run out of Pokemon storage at some point or another. The base amount of storage simply isn’t enough for anything really, and almost every player will run into that same old message, telling you that your storage is full. Once your storage is full, there’s only two things you can do. The first is to go into your inventory and start transferring Pokemon, until you’re back under your limit. Amusingly, this popup can even happen when you’re one off… [Continue Reading]

How I’d Fix Raids in Pokemon GO

May 26, 2023May 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments legendary, pokemon go, raid, suggestion

Raids in Pokemon GO have always been a bit problematic. Between the lack of great Pokemon, needing enough people to do a raid and having to forgo normal raids to do legendary raids due to a lack of people or raid passes, these raids can often be quite awkward. One of the much bigger problems is getting enough players to even do a raid in the first place. However, I have some ideas that might help smooth things out. Make them scale My first idea is that raid bosses should scale to the number of players in the lobby. You… [Continue Reading]

Fennekin Community Day

May 23, 2023May 21, 2023 Medic 0 Comments community day, delphox, fennekin, fire, pokemon, pokemon go

It’s that time of year where we get another starter Pokemon for a Community Day. Fennekin is a cute little fiery starter, and the 21st was a chance to catch a huge number of them. However, we’ve had a lot of fire starter community days, so does Fennekin’s community day stand out? Was it any good? It’s alright. The community day had some nice features. Double candy and double stardust were nice bonuses, but for us, the weather wasn’t amazing. We had a few scattered showers, and the clouds were threatening to rain on us. We actually decided to walk… [Continue Reading]

Another Look At Daily Incense

May 21, 2023May 14, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

It’s been a while since Daily Incense was added to Pokemon GO, but I think it’s worth looking at it again. After all, it’s a free incense that you get given every day, and it can give some interesting Pokemon. But is the Daily Incense worth it? Some extra spawns If you live somewhere rural, the Daily Incense is definitely worth using. It’s a guaranteed bunch of Pokemon for you to catch as you walk. You have to walk, otherwise you’ll get one spawn and that’s basically it. But the walking requirement isn’t too bad, as long as you are… [Continue Reading]

What To Do With A Master Ball in Pokemon GO?

May 19, 2023May 17, 2023 Medic 2 Comments master ball, pokemon, pokemon go, researfch

Pokemon GO has finally decided to give us a Master Ball, tied to the Let’s GO special research that Professor Willow has been hinting at all season. The Master Ball is a Pokeball that never misses and has a 100% chance to catch whatever Pokemon it is thrown at. However, the Master Ball has been hidden in the game code for a very long time, almost as far back as Pokemon GO’s beginnings. After all these years, we will finally be getting the most powerful Pokeball. But there’s a few things to think about here. After all, Master Balls are… [Continue Reading]

These Team Leader Events Suck

May 13, 2023May 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments boring, event, instinct, mystic, pokemon go, valor

As of writing, in Pokemon GO, we are in Season 10 – Rising Heroes. As part of this season, we’ve had some various hero-related thingumabobs, although you probably didn’t notice. As part of this season though, we had three events based on the leaders of teams Mystic, Instinct and Valor. And boy do these team events suck. Firstly, there’s not even any friendly competition between them. I kinda expected that we’d have some sort of competition or contest to reach some sort of milestone, but no, there’s nothing about it. What we got instead were three events, one after the… [Continue Reading]

Kleavor Raid Day

May 8, 2023May 6, 2023 Medic 0 Comments kleavor, pokemon go, raid, raid day, scyther

I like raid days. You get five free raid passes and get to do a bunch of raids for a Pokemon with an increased shiny chance. Kleavor Raid Day is no different, although it IS a Pokemon from the Pokemon Arceus game, which means it does stick out a bit. This raid day follows the normal formula. Kleavor appears as a three-star raid boss on all available gyms. There’s not an infinite amount of raids though, so once you’ve done one gym, you can’t get a second raid on it. That being said, you can only have so many raid… [Continue Reading]

Even Lugia, from the Research Breakthroughs, seemed a lot closer than it used to be.

Pokemon That Are a Pain to Throw Balls At

May 6, 2023April 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments legendary, pokemon, pokemon go

Not every Pokemon is the same. That’s pretty obvious, even if we do have Pokemon that are similar. This also means that not every Pokemon is easy to catch. In main series Pokemon games, you generally need to weaken or sedate whatever Pokemon you can try to catch. The lower health they have, the easier they are to catch, even more so if you put them to sleep. Basically you need to beat them up first. In Pokemon GO however, we don’t really have any of that. We just have berries and stronger Pokeballs, as well as more opportunity to… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts on Lucky Trades

May 4, 2023April 27, 2023 Medic 0 Comments luck, lucky Pokemon, lucky trade, pokemon go

Pokemon GO is a bit weird when it comes to trades. Most of the main Pokemon games let you trade whatever you want. Pokemon Home also allows you to trade what you like. But Pokemon GO only allows for a Pokemon to be traded once, and treats Pokemon in a very different way, rerolling a Pokemon’s stats after the trade. This reroll means that you can, by sheer chance, get a Pokemon in return that has way better stats than it started with. The stat reroll is mostly completely random, and goes across a certain range. As you become better… [Continue Reading]
