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

August 11, 2022August 5, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, useless

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]

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]
