Swinub Classic Community Day

April 30, 2023April 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon, pokemon go, swinub

Back in 2019, we had a Swinub Community Day. The event was great and we all managed to get a bunch of Mamoswines, ready for the next dragon boss to come by. Most people didn’t care much for the special move, but we were all glad to finally have one of the best ice types in the game for a while. Since then, we’ve had a few better ice types, but in the same way Machamp is still a great pick, so is Mamoswine. Not the best, but very reliable. 2019 though was a long time ago. We’ve had some… [Continue Reading]

There’s Something Wrong With Niantic Lately

April 29, 2023April 20, 2023 Medic 0 Comments niantic, pokemon go

Playing Pokemon GO has been a bit weird lately. There have been lots of little issues and problems, but nothing really going towards fixing them. We’ve had weird glitches and bugs and a lot of late, weird or wrong information. And there have been updates that no one has liked in any way. It seems like there is something wrong with Niantic as of late. As of writing, the most recent oddity is a bonus on the current Sustainability event. We have a Sustainability event every year, generally focused on green things, and with common Pokemon related to the environment… [Continue Reading]

Dead End Stories In Pokemon GO

April 18, 2023April 7, 2023 Medic 0 Comments lore, pokemon, pokemon go, story

Back at the start of the year, Pokemon GO had some sort of plot point featuring a massive door, that Arlo from Team GO Rocket wanted to open. Apparently it contained some sort of mystical power and we had to, I don’t know, stop him? At the end of the season though, nothing actually happened. It was a dead end plot point. We hardly even got to see what was behind this magical door, we just know that we stopped Arlo doing whatever it was he was doing. Now, some of you are probably thinking that Pokemon GO doesn’t have… [Continue Reading]

Togetic Community Day

April 17, 2023April 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go, shiny, togetic

On Saturday 15th, we had a rather odd community day. Rather than featuring a basic Pokemon, we got a first evolution. Togetic is an unusual Pokemon that has a baby form, Togepi. It then evolves into the Pokemon equivalent of a stealth jet. But was the community day any good? Well, it’s a yes and a no. When it comes to shinies, it’s a bit of a mess. Togetic’s shiny is actually very easy to miss. Several times I clicked on a shiny and nearly backed out because it didn’t look shiny at first glance. If it wasn’t for the… [Continue Reading]

Good Luck with Disguised Pokemon

April 16, 2023April 4, 2023 Medic 0 Comments ditto, pokemon go, zorua

Back when I was new to Pokemon GO, I had a bit of a problem. I needed to catch a Ditto in order to proceed with special research. It took me a while, but I eventually got one when Meltan was first teased as a new Pokemon, just after the Chikorita Community Day. And later on, for another quest, I needed another Ditto to proceed. I actually got lucky and didn’t have to travel far, as I found a Ditto disguised as a Rattata, about twenty minutes after I got that research. However, most people aren’t that lucky. Most early… [Continue Reading]

Little Tiny Things You May Not Have Noticed in Pokemon GO

April 15, 2023April 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, random, tips

Pokemon GO has tiny little tidbits that you may not notice. Not so much easter eggs, more little details that are easily missed. Here are some of these little tidbits. • Your shadow moves with the time of day. This is actually a somewhat newer feature, but the shadow of your avatar and the shadow of your buddy will move according to the time of day, getting longer in the evenings and shorter closer to noon. • Pokemon you have tapped on turn to face you. If you tap on a Pokemon and don’t catch it, it will turn to… [Continue Reading]

Costume Pokemon I’d Like to See

April 12, 2023March 30, 2023 Medic 0 Comments Cosmetic, costume, pokemon go

In the past, I have complained about costume Pokemon, and how there are too many of them. But it’s clear as day that Niantic won’t stop with the costumes and hats, so we might as well join in and think of our own costumes. Here’s a bunch of costumed Pokemon that I want to see. Party Hat Weedle We already have Party Hat Wurmple, so why not go a step further and shove more party hats on Pokemon? Actually, we don’t really need to do that. Still, Weedle has a horn on its head that is perfect for a party… [Continue Reading]

Okay, Some of these Research Tasks are Godawful

April 10, 2023March 28, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, research

With so many events in Pokemon GO, it’s hard to remember where tasks come from. Now, normal research tasks are orange, daily free tasks are green and event tasks are bronze, with the word “event” underneath them. However, some of these research tasks are so dreadful. Like, genuinely bad tasks. Why are they even here? What spurred me to write this article was one such awful task. During the Team Rocket Takeover event, which overlapped with the Ditto event, there were some event-related research tasks. Two of them were easy to ignore. Most people don’t want to catch 10 Pokemon… [Continue Reading]

Go Battle League Days

April 8, 2023March 26, 2023 Medic 0 Comments gbl, pokemon go, pokemon go battle league

Occasionally, in Pokemon GO, we get an event featuring the GO Battle League, where you can get somer rewards, and generally feature a specific Pokemon as well. However, the GBL isn’t the most fun around here, to the point that I actively avoid it whenever I can. That being said, some of these GBL events sometimes have good rewards. The event on March 25th for example offered up an Elite TM of all things. Elite TMs are very rare, so it’s a good incentive to play in the GBL. After all, the only times you can get them are on… [Continue Reading]

Eggs, Eggs, Eggs and More Eggs

April 3, 2023March 17, 2023 Medic 0 Comments eggs, pokemon go

Between today, yesterday, and the day before yesterday, I’ve walked about 10 kilometers. With that 10km, tracked in Pokemon GO, I managed to hatch an egg. It gave me an Espurr, a Pokemon I forgot that it even existed. But as soon as that egg had hatched, I was already trying to pick what egg I should try and hatch next. I opted for a 12km egg, because I am looking for a female Salandit. That’s stupidly rare as it is, but these 12km eggs won’t hatch themselves. The problem is, I can’t hatch eggs fast enough with just the… [Continue Reading]
