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]

Tips to Get to Best Buddies slightly quicker in Pokemon GO

In Pokemon GO, getting a Pokemon to the level of Best Buddies is kinda hard. Actually, no. I take that back. It’s tedious trying to level up a buddy. Luckily here are some little tips to maybe speed things up. Keep the Nanabs For once, nanab berries have a use, aside from making excellent throws in a row. Most of the time, you don’t need nanabs to catch Pokemon, so it’s worth feeding them to your buddy instead. Eventually, your buddy will start giving you gifts of berries, but at the start, you have to use what you’ve got. Luckily,… [Continue Reading]

My 5 Least Favourite Shiny Pokemon (that I actually use)

I’m a simple person. If I see something shiny, then I feel I must have it. My brain works like that of a magpie or crow, always gathering shiny items. However, since most magpies and crows can’t use game consoles, they can’t really understand what a shiny Pokemon is. And as we slowly climb towards nearly a thousand different Pokemon, it’s a tad tedious to rate all of them. Instead, in today’s article, I’ll be sticking to only Pokemon that I use. Because, even if we round it down to just Pokemon GO, we’d be here all day. Garchomp First… [Continue Reading]

5 Legendaries You Don’t Need to Power Up in Pokemon GO

Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon GO are very expensive to power up. They require a lot of candy, and that candy is hard to come by. Not only that, but they rotate in and out of raids. If you don’t keep up, you end up missing vital Pokemon. However, thankfully, not every legendary Pokemon is worth the time and effort to power up. They may have some very niche uses in PvP stuff, but you shouldn’t see these Pokemon in raids and the like. Here are some Legendary Pokemon that you don’t need to power up. Virizion and Cobalion The Swords… [Continue Reading]

Somewhat Warming Up To Costumed Pokemon

Costume Pokemon are here to stay. Despite communities grumbling that hatted Pokemon are a waste of space, it seems like costumed Pokemon will always be on the rise. As we’ve continued throughout the year, we have had more and more costume Pokemon, to the point that nearly every other event has SOMETHING with a costume. But despite costume Pokemon wasting space, I do have a bit of a fondness for them. Most if these Pokemon are kinda cute The Pokemon chosen for most events are adorable. The most recent new hatted Pokemon is actually Hoothoot, the round owl Pokemon who… [Continue Reading]

My Favourite Shiny Pokemon

Shiny Pokemon are cool. In the main games, a shiny is a stupidly rare thing to find, but you do have some control over it, by breeding and completing the Pokedex. In Pokemon GO however, there’s nothing you can do to increase or decrease shiny encounters. Whether you catch a shiny or not, it is 100% RNG and good luck. That being said, I’ve caught quite a few shiny Pokemon over the years. There are still a lot of shinies that I don’t have or haven’t been released yet. So, for today’s article, I’ll be sticking to shiny Pokemon I… [Continue Reading]

Wonder Box, The Fun Feature Pokemon GO Lacks

When I installed Pokemon Home on my phone, I realized that something was missing. Not from Pokemon Home, but from Pokemon GO. You see, Pokemon Home isn’t really a game. It’s more of a storage area for Pokemon, like a second PC. Unlike a PC though, you can bring a lot more into your Pokemon Home account, and it has some backwards compatibility. You can even send Pokemon from Pokemon GO to Pokemon Home, but you can’t send it back to Pokemon GO later. Something lacking… Anyway, I quickly found what I felt Pokemon GO lacked, and that was trading.… [Continue Reading]

Please Can We Have a Master Ball?

While Pokemon GO does include many features from the main games, there’s an odd thing that we’ve never had before. While having the same fighting system is one thing this game lacks, I want to talk about something much smaller: the Master Ball. For the handful of people who have never played a Pokemon game, a Master Ball will catch any Pokemon with a 100% guarantee, and 0% chance of breaking out. In the main games, you generally only ever get one Master Ball for your entire region. It’s such an amazing and useful Pokeball that you really need to… [Continue Reading]

What to Prioritize for December’s Community Day Event

Every December in Pokemon GO, the monthly Community Day is different. Rather than having nothing but one Pokemon spawning, December Community Days recap what we had during the years. For December, we get an entire year’s worth of Community Day Pokemon, allowing you to grab shinies and moves you may have missed. However, this year, there is a LOT of stuff going on in Pokemon GO. Thanks to the Eevee-lutions, there are way more limited community day moves, compared to previous years. And with so much going on, it’s easy to lose track. Here are some things you should prioritize… [Continue Reading]

Hoopa in Pokemon GO and Hope for Transformations

November was a pretty interesting month in Pokemon GO. While we’ve had various themed seasons so far, November ended with a pretty cool bit of special research. Rather than rewarding you with a Legendary or Mythical at the end, we got Hoopa early on. This was then followed by a secondary quest, in which we unlocked something awesome. The ability to change Hoopa’s form, from its normal version to its unbound version. Hoopa Unbound, within Reach The ability to change a Pokemon’s form in Pokemon GO is actually a pretty new feature. We first saw it with Furfrou, a weird… [Continue Reading]
