5 More Best Pokemon To Beat Team Rocket Grunts

June 9, 2022June 3, 2022 Medic 0 Comments grunt, pokemon go, team rocket go, tips and tricks

Pokemon GO’s Team Rocket are still around and they are stronger than ever. The last time I saw them, I beat the crap out of them, and was rewarded with the worst Apex Lugia and Apex Ho-Oh possible. We’ve actually gone over good Pokemon for Grunt battles before, but there are always options, especially as Team Rocket change up their loadouts semi-regularly. Today, we’re going to go through 5 more Pokemon that do great against Team Rocket. Heatran Most people don’t like Heatran, and for good reason. It’s kinda ugly, badly shaped and appears in 5* raids way, way too… [Continue Reading]

Why 6-Hour Community Days are Better in Almost Every Way

May 30, 2022May 24, 2022 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go, rant

For reasons unknown, Niantic is trying to make everything in Pokemon GO back to pre-covid conditions. While smaller things like green research tasks and a daily Pokemon are cute and helpful, they’ve been taking away plenty of stuff. Players rallied together to keep the 80m diameter on interactions with Gyms and Pokestops, and Incense has been nuked from orbit. And now Niantic has focused on a new feature that they want to ruin: Community Days. Originally Community Days were okay Before all the Covid stuff, Community Days were mostly the same. Three hours, catching anything that isn’t nailed down, and… [Continue Reading]

A Community Day I Completely Forgot About

May 28, 2022May 23, 2022 Medic 0 Comments alola, community day, pokemon go

Did you know that there was a Community Day the other week? On Saturday 21st of May? No? Neither did I. Now, granted, I was pretty occupied with real-life things. But my brother also plays Community Days too, and he forgot about this one as well. For two long-time players of Pokemon GO, this seems a little odd. How did we forget about a Community Day? Sorry, Geodude. The forgotten Community Day in question featured a pretty common Pokemon. Because this month was the Season of Alola, we were destined to get a Pokemon from the Alolan region. After all,… [Continue Reading]

Making More Use of Our Mega Pokemon

May 13, 2022May 5, 2022 Medic 0 Comments legendary raid, mega pokemon, pokemon go

When Mega Pokemon first appeared in Pokemon GO, no one was particularly happy. Mega Pokemon were expensive to obtain and required doing raid battles for Pokemon most people already had. All for a handful of candy and 4 hours of one Mega Pokemon. Over time though, Mega Pokemon have slowly gotten better and better. The costs for evolving a Mega dropped, we got 8 hours of Mega time instead of 4, and new ways of getting Mega Candy were added, so you didn’t need to do constant raids. However, with the release of Mega Latias and Mega Latios, we’ve received… [Continue Reading]

How Community Days SHOULD Work in Pokemon GO

May 3, 2022April 22, 2022 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go

April’s Community Day was also a debut for a brand new Pokemon. However, it was also a day of change, with many of the Community Day features we got slowly being eroded away. But Communities can be so much better. Here are some features that would make a Community Day more awesome. Bring back the buddies giving Pokeballs For some of the earlier Community Days done during the start of the pandemic, we actually got quite a nice feature. Throughout the day, our buddy Pokemon would give us gifts which contained Pokeballs. Not a small number of them either. When… [Continue Reading]

A Very Large GPS Drift

April 10, 2022April 6, 2022 Medic 1 Comment Bug, Glitch, gps, pokemon go

Since I’ve got a newer, more modern phone, I don’t get that much GPS drift any more. Sometimes, with all location-based games and apps, GPS signals can get blocked. After all, GPS is tied to a massive system of satellites which communicate and triangulate together. Most of the time, this GPS drift is very short and always snaps back after a few moments. However, one day, I went on a really nice trip, according to my GPS. The GPS was slow at first. It was just doing what it normally does, wandering to and from the Pokestop by my house.… [Continue Reading]

My Three Favourite Starter Pokemon

April 5, 2022March 31, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, starter

In every Pokemon game you play, you start off with, well, a Starter Pokemon to take with you and train with. In Pokemon GO, your starter Pokemon is very basic, with a static 10/10/10 IVs and at CP10. Normally those are quickly abandoned, due to being mostly useless and cosmetic. The main series games though, your starter Pokemon is normally your best buddy forever and ever, growing alongside you. Anyway, if I were forced to pick a starter for myself, it’d be one of these lot. #4 Charmander As much as I want to like Squirtle and Bulbasaur more, Charmander… [Continue Reading]

I’d be a Great Team Rocket Leader

April 4, 2022March 30, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, random

I’ll be blunt. The leaders of Team GO Rocket are pretty mediocre. They have all the battling skills of Jesse and James and none of the joy and enthusiasm. And their boss in particular really has an odd way of showing up, talking big then getting his ass kicked. While being the CEO of a company AND being the CEO of Team Rocket, Giovanni is lucky that he holds a majority stake of both companies and can’t be voted out via his shareholders. So, as an offer of help and support, Giovanni has been sent on holiday for a bit… [Continue Reading]

Missing Weather Effects in Pokemon GO

March 29, 2022March 23, 2022 Medic 0 Comments lag, pokemon go, weather

It’s funny how sometimes I miss really simple things. As I write this article, it has been raining outside. Not a huge amount, no floods or anything, but wet enough to warrant an umbrella. The sound of rain falling, alongside the odd splash of a car going through a puddle can often be quite relaxing. It’s also relaxing to sit inside on a rainy day, wrapped up and catching Pokemon with an incense. What I also like about Pokemon GO is how the weather in the app matches the weather outside. Or, at least, it tries to. Lately though, Pokemon… [Continue Reading]

On Paying €11 on a 67% shadow Ho-Oh

March 18, 2022March 13, 2022 Medic 1 Comment bad luck, ho-oh, lugia, pokemon go

I’ll be honest. I wasted my money on the Johto tour. Playing it mostly solo wasn’t particularly fun. But at the very least, I’d get some nice Pokemon, right? After all, I got a nice shiny Ho-Oh out of it. However, a big part of purchasing the ticket was to get some cool Apex Shadow Legendary Pokemon. I like Lugia and Ho-Oh, so the idea of getting what is basically Super Ho-Oh and Super Lugia sounded pretty neat. As I opened up the encounter got Ho-Oh though, it all kinda fell apart. Why? Because I said to myself, “how bad… [Continue Reading]
