5 Pokemon that are Pretty Damn Useless in Pokemon GO

August 7, 2022August 2, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, useless

Not all Pokemon are equal. In fact, there’s a ton of inequality in these pocket monsters. On the one hand you have cute birds and little mice. On the other hand, you have terrifying monsters that can flood the entire world. These Pokemon, and every Pokemon between them, can be used by us to participate in battles and raids and things like that. However, there are some Pokemon that are different. They lack something that sets them apart from the rest of their species. Here are five Pokemon who are pretty damn useless in Pokemon GO. Party Hat Nidorino For… [Continue Reading]

This New, Blue Daily Incense is Pretty Cool

August 3, 2022July 27, 2022 Medic 0 Comments daily incense, incense, pokemon go, walking

Pokemon GO is best played in a town or city that has lots of Pokestops. Lots of Pokestops means lots of Pokemon to be caught. Some Pokestops turn into gyms, which teams battle over for control. However, the further you travel away from a city, the less Pokemon you find and the amount of Pokestops and gyms swiftly decreases. Often to the point that nothing spawns. Basically, if you live somewhere too rural, Pokemon GO can be nigh unplayable. There have been attempts to fix Pokemon GO for rural players. One of the earlier ones was allowing players at level… [Continue Reading]

Starly Community Day and Staravia Raids

July 28, 2022July 20, 2022 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go

I’ll be honest. I barely bothered with the Starly Community Day. It just wasn’t particularly interesting. We got one of the many bird-like Pokemon, and the day just was… boring, even if I did have nearby spawns. Somehow though, Starly Community Day was boring enough that I’m actually writing an article about it. Not even bothering to try and live up to Deino day Okay, sure, not every Community Day can be as good as the Deino Community Day. That event was a ton of fun, we got a cool Pokemon and it got a good move. We also had… [Continue Reading]

Dynamax Raids are Weird

July 23, 2022July 14, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, pokemon shield

Funnily enough, the one thing I find closest to Pokemon GO in Pokemon Shield is the raid battle system. As in, both games have raids. That similarity is in name only though, because raid work differently in both games, and you can only solo some raids in Pokemon GO, not the majority of them in Pokemon Shield, and GO raids require a lot of tapping, while Shield/Sword raids require taking turns. You also have a timer on both. Pokemon GO has an obvious timer that ticks down, but Shield has a limited number of turns before you are kicked out.… [Continue Reading]

The Worst Research Tasks in Pokemon GO

July 21, 2022July 12, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, research, rewards

Research tasks in Pokemon GO are quite simple. You spin a Pokestop, you get given a task and you do that task for a reward. Rewards can be almost anything, from Pokemon encounters to balls and berries, and, after 7 days of doing tasks, you can get a cool research reward from Professor Willow or the strange robot girl who has replaced him. But not all research tasks are made equal. Some are alright. Some are utterly pointless. And some tasks are not even worth your time at all. Difficulty is all over the place The tasks required can vary… [Continue Reading]

I Feel Like I’m Playing This Game Wrong

July 6, 2022June 28, 2022 Medic 2 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, pokemon shield

While I’m writing this article, I have my Nintendo Switch next to me, leveling up my team in Pokemon Shield. I’ve been playing Pokemon Shield for a bit now (you can tell from all the articles surrounding this one) and I’ve spent a lot of time leveling Pokemon to great heights, ready for fights against the gym leaders across the Galar region. But something about how I’ve been playing Pokemon Shield just feels… off. I basically feel like I’m doing this all wrong. A dedicated team for each gym But as I put together teams for fighting gyms, I find… [Continue Reading]

The Nicest Community Day Ever

June 26, 2022June 25, 2022 Medic 0 Comments community day, deino, pokemon go

When it comes to Community Days, lately, most of them have been meh at best. However, in a bid to make lots of money and get people outside, June’s Community Day was Deino, the dark and dragon type Pokemon. A pseudo-legendary Pokemon with a lot of bite and a great special move. Turns out, if you have an interesting Pokemon for community day, then people turn up. Actually felt like a Community Day A good Pokemon and people out to catch it. Deino’s day ticked a lot of boxes. We got a cool, rare shiny on a cool, rare Pokemon,… [Continue Reading]

Does Anyone Actually Like Needing 400 Candy To Evolve A Pokemon?

June 15, 2022June 9, 2022 Medic 1 Comment magikarp, meltan, noibat, pokemon, pokemon go

There are a few Pokemon in the Pokemon universe that start off as small and weak, then evolve into something amazing. Magikarp is probably the most famous for this*. It’s a weak fish that only knows Tackle and Splash, and if you have the patience, you can evolve it into a massive sea not-a-dragon. Normally, in the main Pokemon games, you need to level the Pokemon despite it having awful moves. But the grind is worth it because you get a cool new badass Pokemon. In Pokemon GO however, you can evolve these Pokemon without having them in battle. It… [Continue Reading]

So Many 3* Pokemon

June 14, 2022June 8, 2022 Medic 0 Comments machamp, pokemon go, rhyperior

This Pokemon season is called the Season of GO. Yes, it’s a stupid name, but June – August are generally when Pokemon GO has its biggest events. But a new season also brings with it some new Pokemon, and a slight change in one’s local spawns. The changes aren’t amazing, however it does mean I get to see Rhyhorn again. Rhyhorn is one of my favourites, and it’s good to see it back. What does Rhyhorn have to do with anything? Because its final evolution, Rhyperior, is an insanely useful Pokemon. It does well in both raids and the GBL… [Continue Reading]

On Skipping GOFest

June 10, 2022June 4, 2022 Medic 0 Comments event, gofest, pokemon go

GOFest is Pokemon GO’s biggest event of the year. It’s full of activities and new things. And for the last two years, GOFest has been available to everyone. Well, not completely. It’s a ticketed event, and buying a pass for GOFest unlocks new features. In 2021, I bought a ticket and had a great time. This year though, I just can’t be bothered. Why? Because there is too much to do. Frankly, I am a tad tired of these events. Sure, GOFest is the biggest event of the year, but it’s also an event you need to really focus on.… [Continue Reading]
