Not Cleffa Hatch Day

Medic 0 Comments

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

Medic 0 Comments ,

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

Medic 0 Comments ,

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

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

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…

Medic 0 Comments , ,

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

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

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

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

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

Medic 0 Comments ,

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]

Primal Groudon Raid Day

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

These constant raid days have been great, but damn, my luck has been all over the damn place. Primal Groudon Raid Day is the raid day I’ve been waiting for for a long, long time. One of my goals in Pokemon GO was to get my 100% Groudon to level 50, but it’s becoming more and more clear that this isn’t going to happen, not for a long time, and not without walking every single good Groudon I have. This raid day was pretty much identical to the Primal Kyogre Raid day, except easier. Primal Groudon, being a dual ground/fire… [Continue Reading]

There are two Pawmi here right now, stalking me.

Anyone Else Kinda Tired of Pawmi?

Medic 0 Comments

Pawmi is one of those Pokemon. The small, cute, annoying electric type critter that HAS to appear in every single Pokemon game. All vaguely based around Pikachu. Sometimes they look insanely like Pikachu (like Dedenne and Plusle and Minun), sometimes they aren’t quite as obvious (like Pacharisu and Pawmi) but they’re all electric types and they are all a pain the butt. And, just like Pikachu, they always seem to outstay their welcome. And right now, Pawmi has outstayed its welcome in Pokemon GO. This Pokemon has been around for ages. It popped up in the Paldea season (two seasons… [Continue Reading]
