Talonflame and some Fletchlings. Completely missed out the middle evolution, but no one cares about it.

Stupid Bird Event

May 11, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, research event

I normally like research days. But the problem is, you’re always completely limited by how many Pokestops there are near you. And right now, there are only 20 Pokestops near me, that I can be bothered to walk to. I could get in my car and drive down to the harbour, but today, the wind is hot, the sun is burning and it’s tourist season now and I don’t want to walk among large crowds. But the thing is, we don’t even really get interesting birds. The only interesting one is Rufflet, which isn’t very useful, but I don’t have… [Continue Reading]

I just want to say fuck you to the four people who brought dragon types to a Tapu Fini raid and made us lose.

May 10, 2024May 10, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

I just want to say fuck you to the four people who brought dragon types to a Tapu Fini raid and made us lose. Yes, the four of you. I am blaming all four of you for failing a raid that should have been comfortably doable with three people. I’m just one person. Sure, I’m one person with an ARMY of Kartanas, a bunch of powered up Zekroms, a perfect Shadow Magnezone and 4 level 40 Metagrosses, but I can only do so much damage. I need the rest of you to bring Pokemon that Tapu Fini is also weak… [Continue Reading]

Not Cleffa Hatch Day

April 28, 2024April 27, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

Baby Pokemon are stupid. For some reason, in Pokemon GO, these bastards are restricted from being caught and you HAVE to hatch them from eggs. Which means that, if you want a shiny one, you gotta do a lot of walking and buy a lot of incubators. Now, occasionally, we get ‘Hatch Days’, which are basically Community Days for Baby Pokemon. The first one was for Riolu, whose only real use is being taught a second move while its cheap before you evolve it into a Lucario. It was an alright event, but it was kinda tedious and there was… [Continue Reading]

Sizable Surprises Was a Fun Event But It Could Have Been More Fun

April 27, 2024April 21, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, wailmer

I love XXL and XXS Pokemon. I find them cute. XXL versions of massive Pokemon and XXS versions of tiny Pokemon are even better. And that is kinda what Sizable Surprises, a recent Pokemon GO event, did. It gave increased chances to get XXL and XXS Pokemon, as well as spawning a bunch of Pokemon known for being big or small. But that was kinda just it. Sure, there were increased chances to get a shiny Wailmer, but the event overall was kinda lacking. Really, I think the biggest problem was the spawns. The spawns weren’t bad but they were… [Continue Reading]

The Bug Out Event Sucked

April 22, 2024April 16, 2024 Medic 0 Comments bug type, pokemon go

Not all events are created equal, but the Bug Out event we recently had was pretty damn lame. There was very little good about it, and the event just didn’t really do anything. Now, Bug Types aren’t a great bunch. They’re often the punching bag of the Pokemon world, and can be split into two forms: the crap you catch on early routes and the hard-to-catch stuff later on that gets a decent secondary typing or a mega evolution or something. This event though only really contained the former. Sure, we got Mega Heracross in raids, but, well, the only… [Continue Reading]

Mega Heracross Raid Day

April 14, 2024April 13, 2024 Medic 0 Comments heracross, pokemon go, raid day, regional pokemon

Raid days are fun, and it’s nice to have a chance to get a shiny for a Pokemon that’s normally a regional, but I feel kinda ripped off about this one. It was a pretty standard raid day, and we did get 8 free raids (5 additional passes, plus the previous day’s pass, plus this month’s bonus of two free passes a day) and I did a few extra raids with premium passes. Most of the raids, we did as a duo, me and my brother, because he really wanted the shiny, and Heracross is one of his favourite Pokemon.… [Continue Reading]

Mediocre Research Rewards, Still…

April 13, 2024April 5, 2024 Medic 0 Comments event, pokemon go, research

Alongside the Team Rocket Takeover event, we got a timed research quest with two stages. The first stage was pretty simple but also a tad long, and involved nothing but catching 25 dark types, with a reward for every 5 dark types you caught. All you got was some XP and a Vullaby encounter but since the majority of spawns during the event were dark types, I didn’t expect too much. I suppose the Vullaby encounter was nice because they were rare spawns, but still, it was a simple task with a simple reward. However, the second part of this… [Continue Reading]

Bagon Community Day Classic

April 10, 2024April 7, 2024 Medic 0 Comments bagon, community day, community day classic, pokemon go

Classic Community Days are basically just a chance to get an old Community Day to come back. While everyone has been desperate for Beldum and Metagross to come back, we got Bagon and Salamence in the mean time. Bagon definitely isn’t a bad pick, it is definitely a strong dragon type, and many people have Shadow Bagons they want to evolve. I don’t, I didn’t even get a decent 2* Bagon worth evolving, but Shadow Salamence IS one of the strongest dragon types available, only really beaten by Rayquaza, its Mega and Salamence’s own Mega. The event was mostly a… [Continue Reading]

New Pokemon In Eggs Suck

March 27, 2024March 20, 2024 Medic 0 Comments eggs, incubator, pokemon go, rng

Another event, another singular new Pokemon and yet again, it’s a Pokemon in an egg. The last few new Pokemon have either been in raids or in eggs. Drampa was in raids, while Revaroom and Charcadet were both locked in eggs. But while new raid Pokemon aren’t too bad, when it comes to egg Pokemon, it is 100% luck. The thing is, you can actively hunt down a new Pokemon either in raids or in the wild. At the very least, finding your first wild new Pokemon is easy, because they have priority on the Nearby radar. Sure, with a… [Continue Reading]

Get Your Shadow Groudon

March 25, 2024March 23, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, shadow pokemon

On Wednesday March 27th, we’ll be getting a new Team Rocket special research, in which we can save Shadow Groudon. Now, people around here might know that Groudon is one of my favourite Legendary Pokemon, and I’m desperate for a chance to add one to my collection. Shadow Groudon will definitely be a good Pokemon to have, since it not only does good damage, but it also isn’t a complete glass cannon, meaning it won’t die instantly. The same can’t be said for Shadow Darumaka/Darmanitan, which are also coming in the World of Wonders: Taken Over event starting on the… [Continue Reading]
