More Legendary Pokemon in the Wild Seems Like a Cool Idea

One of the more interesting things about the Johto tour was the appearance of Legendary Pokemon in the wild. Mimicking the behavior from the original games, we had the Legendary Beasts spawning in the wild, with a 99% chance to flee. However, that got me thinking. Why don’t we have wild Legendary Pokemon? Not all Legendaries, of course. We can’t have Mewtwos spawning everywhere now, can we? I mean, we could totally have Mewtwo spawning everywhere, but I don’t think the developers or the shareholders would appreciate that. However, other, somewhat lesser Legendary Pokemon could be interesting. After all, there… [Continue Reading]

A Like and Dislike for Mega Raids in Pokemon GO

It seems that most people have somewhat accepted Mega Pokemon. Now that there are easier ways to earn Mega Candy, and the Megas stay around for 8 hours, it’s all just about acceptable. Yet still, there’s something about Mega Raids that irks me. They’re just not quite right. No one really wants to do them If you’re unlucky enough to miss a debut of a mega Pokemon, then you probably won’t find many people hosting them. At least, that’s the problem I’ve been having with Mega Raids. I couldn’t get people to join in Manectric raids nor Ampharos. But even… [Continue Reading]

Zero IV Pokemon VS 100% IV Pokemon

The other day, I found something cool. While on my little walk, hoping to hatch a couple of eggs. As I wandered around, I spotted a Ferroseed and decided on a whim to catch it. I’m not normally a fan of the steel/grass type, but it looks cool, and I could always do with more candy. Turns out though, this Ferroseed was special. Amazingly, it had 0 IVs what so ever. After that, I then checked my Pokemon storage, remembering that I also have a 100% Ferroseed somewhere. So I decided to evolve both of these Ferroseeds into Ferrothorns, and,… [Continue Reading]

A Collection of Evil Pokemon

Sometimes it’s nice to make your own fun, do your own things. While playing Pokemon GO, I tend to clear out backpack space all the time, and get rid of Pokemon with low stats and low CPs. However, a while back, my brother started collecting Pokemon that had 69 CP. He’s built  a big collection, and he also suggested that I do something similar. The number I chose? 666. Because why not. I had considered doing either 42 or 404, but 666 just looks more appealing to me. They’re not actually evil. Well, as far as I’m aware, they’re not… [Continue Reading]

Probably the Worst Timed Research Ever

Just before the Johto tour event, Pokemon GO had a “restocking” event where we could save up Pokeballs for the upcoming tour. Called the Poké Ball Prep Rally, it is designed to give you plenty of Pokeballs. The bonuses of this event were that your buddy would bring extra Pokeballs as gifts and some ball-shaped Pokemon were spawning. Oh, and this event also included probably the worst Timed Research I’ve ever seen. 100% NOT WORTH IT! The timed research for this prep rally were as follows: Spin Pokestops, send gifts and open research tasks. Do those three once, then do… [Continue Reading]

The Johto Tour – A Mild Opinion

Back on Saturday, we got our second ever Pokemon Tour event, this time visiting the Johto region. During this tour, we saw Pokemon from different areas of Johto spawning in particular biomes, with the spawns changing every hour. Alongside the event, we had tons of raids and shinies to grab, and a massive collect-a-thon, in which we could catch the entirety of the Johto Pokedex. However, was the Johto tour as good as the Kanto tour in 2021? Well, I guess… The Johto Tour was mostly just like the Kanto Tour. The biomes were the same, as were the Pokemon.… [Continue Reading]

Attack Form Deoxys and a Desire for more Solo Raids

As of writing, we’ve got Deoxys in raids in Pokemon GO. But it’s not just any Deoxys, we got Attack Form Deoxys. What’s so special about that? Well, Attack Form Deoxys is one of the very, very few level 5 raids you can fight solo and actually win. The last time Deoxys’s forms were around, I didn’t have as good a team as I wanted, but also lacked the confidence. This time though, I had no such problems. Defeating a Level 5 Raid is generally hard For most Legendary raids, you will need at minimum one or two extra players.… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon I Like But Never Get To Use

When it comes to Pokemon GO, the meta doesn’t change much. In PvP, there are random cups that offer a change, but your standard PvP match will always have familiar faces, especially as you play the higher leagues. In PvE content, the meta most of the time is use six of one Pokemon and never use the default recommended stuff the game suggests. Anyway, here are some Pokemon I like, but rarely get to use in battle. Entei and Suicune The legendary beasts Entei and Suicune are really cool Pokemon. Doesn’t help that their choice of attacks just aren’t very… [Continue Reading]

Lures VS Incense in Pokemon GO

Not everyone lives in a massive city with hundreds or even thousands of Pokestops. Some places, like where I live, have small pockets of high density Pokestops, but trail off quite quickly. Other places have pretty much nothing when it comes to Pokestops, and rely solely on one tiny spawn point, or the daily spawn of one Pokemon. Luckily though, there is a way or two that you can force Pokemon to spawn. If you have a Pokestop nearby, you can deploy a Lure module on it, and Pokemon will spawn at the Pokestop one at a time, as long… [Continue Reading]

Please Don’t Put Balls in Bundles and Boxes

After wasting a bunch of hard-earns coins in Pokemon GO, I haven’t really been looking that the boxes in the Pokemon GO shop. Normally, I’d have very little coins because I’d spend them all on raid passes. But raids have been unappealing lately, so I finally got myself 480 coins, ready to buy something nice. The Pokemon GO shop has got various useful things within it, and mostly works as a “pay to go faster” shop than anything else. For example, if you have eggs you want to hatch, then get super incubators and hatch eggs quickly. Or just do… [Continue Reading]
