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]

Why are Niantic Nerfing Remote Passes?

April 2, 2023March 31, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, raid, remote raid

On March 30th, Niantic made an announcement regarding the future of remote raid passes. Simply put, they are increasing the price of remote passes to 195 coins, with a pack of three costing 525 coins. Even worse, they are reducing the amount of remote raids a player can do in one day, from infinite to 5. This announcement has popped up very suddenly, and the changes will occur on April 6th. Of course, no one likes any of these changes. Remote raids offer so much freedom. The changes made to remote passes are pretty damn drastic. Not only are they… [Continue Reading]

Team Rocket GO are Mediocre, But I Love Them.

April 1, 2023March 21, 2023 Medic 0 Comments grunt, pokemon go, team rocket, team rocket go

Every Pokemon game has some bad group that do bad things and you, the 10 year old player character, have to go and stop them. In Pokemon GO, we get Team GO Rocket, run by what I assume is a clone of Giovanni. It’s called Team GO Rocket, either way, but Team Rocket GO is cooler. Or I can just call them Team, Rocket, it’s all the same. Still, probably better than Team Star in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Team Star just seems to be filled with kids bunking off school or something. Anyway, Team GO Rocket aren’t really much… [Continue Reading]

5 Pokemon That Were Badly Translated into Pokemon GO

March 30, 2023March 15, 2023 Medic 1 Comment pokemon, pokemon go

While Pokemon GO does have a lot of Pokemon, from across all regions of the Pokemon series, there are still some Pokemon that, well, don’t really fit in. Pokemon that change forms or look different or just turn invisible. In today’s article, we’ll look at some Pokemon that don’t work the same way they would in a main series game. Smeargle I’ve always kinda liked the little paintbrush dog. It’s cute and has a cool gimmick, copying moves from other Pokemon. However, the move-copying gimmick in Pokemon GO is very basic. When a Smeargle appears, it only copies the moves… [Continue Reading]

Five Pokemon I Always Catch When I See Them

March 29, 2023March 20, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

When I go on my daily walks, I generally play Pokemon GO at the same time. Unfortunately, there aren’t that many Pokemon to catch where I live, so I just have to make do with the daily incense. And, frankly, most of the spawns are pretty damn mediocre. However, there are some Pokemon that I always catch, no matter what. Houndour Houndour is my favourite Pokemon, so this is kinda obvious. Although I have both a shiny Houndour and a 100% Hundoom, I find myself still catching them, because I need the XL Candy to get my Hundoom to level… [Continue Reading]

I Hate Elite TMs

March 27, 2023March 13, 2023 Medic 0 Comments elite tm, legendary, pokemon, pokemon go

Elite TMs suck. They are rare and hideously expensive, and you have separate Elite TMs for fast attacks and charge attacks. The only way to reliably get Elite TMs are by buying them in a bundle for Community Days, or reaching rank 20 in PvP. And even then, it still alternates every season, between fast and charge TMs. On top of that, seasons are pretty long, generally 90 days long, so once you reach rank 20, you’re still waiting for three months to claim your reward. Sure, Elite TMs allow you to give a Pokemon any of its move, especially… [Continue Reading]

5 Pokemon You Should Ideally Have 6 Of

March 25, 2023March 10, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

If you want to be efficient and powerful in raids, then you need a good team to back you up. And if you want to be really efficient, then you want six of the best Pokemon, and ideally leveled up Pokemon as well. Here are some Pokemon that are just too good and useful. Note that I’m talking about normal Pokemon, because you can only have one Mega Pokemon at a time. I’ve also not included shadow Pokemon since they’re automatically better than anything else. If it’s on this list and can be a shadow Pokemon, then you should use… [Continue Reading]

The Problem with Legendary Raids in Pokemon GO

March 23, 2023March 9, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, raids

During the Hoenn Tour, we actually had a lot of raiding to do. Both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre had come out, and they were insanely powerful. In fact, they were so powerful that we needed much bigger teams than normal. While a standard Kyogre generally goes down with 4-6 players, Primal Groudon needed 8 for a comfortable victory, and was only just doable with 6 players, all using Megas. The Primal Legendaries were actually a nice bit of challenge, an excuse to bring out all the best gear, for a big fight. But the difficulty of these raids also… [Continue Reading]

Slowpoke Community Day

March 20, 2023March 18, 2023 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go, slowpoke

Community days are always fun, and this is no real exception. Slowpoke is a pretty cute Pokemon (and one of my brother’s favourites) so it’s nice to get something a bit different. Cute little things Both forms of Slowpoke are adorable and a bit useless. Their evolutions on the hand are a bit more interesting. Mainly because they’re being bitten by another Pokemon. It’s almost as parasitic as Paras and Parasect. Anyway there’s plenty of both. The Kanto Slowpoke’s shiny is rather faint, but the Galarian Slowpoke goes yellow all over. If you know me well enough, you can recall… [Continue Reading]
