On Ultra Beast Raids

October 4, 2022September 26, 2022 Medic 0 Comments legendary, pokemon go, ultra beast

The Ultra Beasts in Pokemon are a weird concept. They’re basically legendary Pokemon but not. All of them are from different dimensions and only appear in our real world via wormholes – Ultra Wormholes. These Pokemon have amazing strength, and, despite not being Legendary Pokemon, they have similar stats and details. And now these mysterious Pokemon are appearing in Pokemon GO as well. They’re pretty cool. I must admit, the designs for the Ultra Beasts are pretty cool. You can tell that they’re not normal Pokemon just by looking at them. There is one thing that does help separate these… [Continue Reading]

SPARK, WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?

October 3, 2022October 2, 2022 Medic 1 Comment fashion, pokemon go, ugly

The other day, I opened Pokemon Go as normal, to do some research, catch some Pokemon, you know. Normal stuff. I did a Team Rocket battle and got a Shinx with a hat on it. That was weird. But what was weirder was when I appraised my Shinx. Spark was… different. He was very suddenly not very cool. Normally, Spark wears this cool black leather jacket with yellow trims and an awesome Zapdos necklace. But that look was clearly no more. For some reason, Spark ditched his normal clothes and made himself look like a stoner. He didn’t even have… [Continue Reading]

Things To Nominate In Pokemon GO (and Ingress Prime)

October 2, 2022September 24, 2022 Medic 0 Comments ingress prime, pokemon go, wayfarer

When you reach level 38 in Pokemon GO, you unlock the ability to nominate Pokestops. Basically, you go through a form, where you take some pictures, add a title and description and explain what a thing is and why it should be a Pokestop. Your nomination is then sent to Niantic Wayfarer, where people can scrutinize and vote on your submission and either accept it or reject it. However, this can be a struggle. Even if you go to the Wayfarer website, there are lots of boxes that need to be ticked. And, because people are, well, people, it’s quite… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon GO’s Mega Evolutions Aren’t So Bad Any More

September 30, 2022September 22, 2022 Medic 1 Comment mega, mega evolution, pokemon go

When Mega Pokemon came out, no one was particularly happy. The time and effort required to actually get a Mega Pokemon was incredibly demanding. And to make matters worse, these Pokemon could only be mega-evolved for 4 hours at a time. Everything about the whole system felt incredibly wrong. But lately, Mega Evolutions don’t feel nearly as bad as they used to be. There’s been improvements. One or two raids The first and biggest change is the number of raids you have to do. Originally, you’d get 50-80 Mega Candy per Mega Raid you did. This meant that, for the… [Continue Reading]

A Gigalithic Community Day

September 20, 2022September 18, 2022 Medic 0 Comments community day, gigalith, pokemon go, roggenrola, shiny

Another month, another community day. However this community day is a bit of a surprise, because no one really expected Roggenrola to be the chosen Pokemon. Especially in the middle of an event filled with Steel-type Pokemon. In this community day, it ran from 2pm until 5pm, allowing you to evolve a Boldore into a Gigalith to learn Meteor Beam. And, of course, it had a much higher chance of being a shiny. It’s an… unusual choice of Pokemon. Not the best but usable at least Sadly, even with Meteor Beam, Gigalith isn’t that amazing. Rhyperior, Rampardos and Terrakion are… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon GO’s most useless Legendary and Mythical Pokemon

September 17, 2022July 12, 2023 Medic 2 Comments legendary pokemon, pokemon, pokemon go

When you encounter and catch a Legendary Pokemon, you assume that it will be a powerhouse, doing lots of damage, carving out its own niche or just all-round very good. Unfortunately though, in the world of Pokemon GO, things don’t always work out. Because Pokemon GO’s system is a tad different, Attack and Defense stats are rolled into one, and Speed simply isn’t a stat at all. Because of this and how Pokemon attacks work, way too many Pokemon end up being a mess. And this doubly applies to legendary Pokemon. Xerneas We start with one of my favourite legendary… [Continue Reading]

On Solo’ing a Deoxys

September 13, 2022September 7, 2022 Medic 0 Comments legendary, mythical, pokemon go, solo, solo raid boss

When it comes to one-player raids in Pokemon GO, the average player can easily do one-star raids and complete three-star raids with little trouble. Unless it’s a three-star Shuckle raid. Those things are tanky. However, the idea of a solo player beating a level 5 raid is often out of the question. There ARE ways of soloing some raids, but they often require a full party of shadows, a Mega Pokemon or both. Over the years though, with better Legendaries, Community Days with strong moves and just better moves in general, the task of solo-ing a level 5 raid becomes… [Continue Reading]

The Five Most Annoying Little Things in Pokemon GO

September 8, 2022September 2, 2022 Medic 0 Comments annoying, pokemon go, rant

There’s a lot of both good and bad in Pokemon GO. Sometimes the game works fine, and sometimes your raid pass gets eaten and you need to speak to support. But there are some little things that can really ruin your day, just by being really annoying. Here are five Pokemon GO things we all find annoying as heck. Tapping the wrong Pokemon Imagine this: a big event with hundreds of spawns. You’re using Incense and Lures too. Suddenly you see a Deino wedged between a Pansear and a Nosepass. No matter what you do, you just can’t tap on… [Continue Reading]

On The Difficulty of Level 50 Pokemon

September 5, 2022August 30, 2022 Medic 0 Comments evolution, level 50, pokemon go, rhydon, rhyhorn, rhyperior

As of writing, the Pokemon with the highest CP I own is a 100% IVs Rhyperior, at level 49. Obtaining XL candy for this Pokemon has been nothing short of slow and random. Thankfully, in the Season of GO, Rhyhorns have been relatively common, especially in sunny weather. Weather that I see all the time. Still, even with walking the former 100% Rhydon for candy, it’s taken a good chunk of this season to even get this far. Simply put, level 50 is a hard target to reach. There aren’t many other Pokemon that I’ve evolved past level 40. I… [Continue Reading]

Everyone should have a Machamp. It’s such a useful Pokemon. Why? Well Machamp is just so damn useful. It’s good to have a few of them, six at least. Even having one single, great Machamp does a lot for you. But how useful IS Machamp? There are plenty of reasons why. The best choice for defeating gyms What do you normally see in Gyms? Snorlax, Slaking and Blissey, of course! Big, bulky Pokemon. These Pokemon have high health, even as their motivation drops. These Pokemon are also Normal types. Which means they are weak to Fighting types. And Machamp has… [Continue Reading]
