Pokemon GO’s most useless Legendary and Mythical Pokemon

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.

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]

Several Reasons Why You Should Have a Machamp or Two

August 31, 2022August 24, 2022 Medic 0 Comments fighting, machamp, pokemon, pokemon go

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]

More Candies for Better Throws Should be the Norm

August 27, 2022August 21, 2022 Medic 0 Comments candy, pokemon, pokemon go

During the Ultra Bug Out event, a new passive bonus was released, alongside a bunch of other event buffs. Simply put, you’d get more candy based on the quality of a throw. A Nice throw would earn you one extra candy, a Great throw two candy and an Excellent throw 3 candy. With a pinap berry, that’s up to 12 candy for an Excellent throw on a normal Pokemon. Pretty neat, right? Sadly, this extra candy for good throws is only for the Bug Out event, and once it’s gone, we might not ever see it again. However, the extra… [Continue Reading]

Lures in Pokemon GO Make No Sense

August 20, 2022August 15, 2022 Medic 1 Comment lure, pokemon go

During the last Community Day with Zigzagoon, my brother and I put down some lures, in the hopes of producing more spawns. We were chilling out in an ice cream place at the time, and the three closest Pokestops were all lured. Because it was a Community Day, those lures would all last 3 hours each, sticking around for a long time after we finished up and left. As we left though, I looked back at the lured Pokestops and realized that luring those Pokestops made no sense. Most spawns are wasted. The place where we left the lures was… [Continue Reading]

Galarian Zigzagoon Community Day

August 14, 2022August 13, 2022 Medic 0 Comments galar, pokemon go, pokemon home, zigzagoon

August’s Community Day this year was Galarian Zigzagoon, an utterly adorable Pokemon. I mean, look at it. It’s like a little punk racoon thing. How can you not love something like that? It’s so adorable, and it’s a pretty nice choice for a Community Day. Even if, like Deino, getting a shiny one used to be rare and now everyone has one. A great shiny with some use. While Obstagoon may not be as useful as Deino was from this year’s previous Community Day, it’s still a dark type that has a nice niche. It’s also a really nice shiny,… [Continue Reading]

My 5 Favourite Useless Pokemon

Let’s face it, not all Pokemon are equal. Or even close to equal in any way what so ever. Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t love a Pokemon, if it isn’t very good. You can love a Pokemon no matter how useless they are. And here are some of the useless Pokemon I happen to love. Shiny Wurmple JUST LOOK AT IT! LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS! Okay, I’ll calm down. But honestly, I do very much like all the shiny low level bug types. They;re a big part of the beginning of any Pokemon game, being small and soft… [Continue Reading]

Why the Heck was Hisuian Voltorb in 7km Eggs?

August 10, 2022August 4, 2022 Medic 0 Comments egg, eggs, hatch, pokemon go

Pokemon GO’s egg system is probably the most gamble-y thing in Pokemon GO. While it’s nice to walk eggs and see what you hatch, the odds are rarely in your favour. In fact, some eggs are awful, with low chances of hatching anything that’s vaguely good. In fact, most of the time, I find myself hatching things that I could have caught in the wild. However, I think I’ve stumbled across one of the worst eggs around. 7KM eggs 7km eggs have always been in an awkward slot. You can somewhat control how you obtain them, by opening gifts while… [Continue Reading]
