One-Time Mythical Pokemon in Pokemon GO

Mythical Pokemon are weird. They’re simply not like other Pokemon. The vast majority of Pokemon are caught within games of Pokemon, whether it’s the original Red and Blue, current generation 8 Pokemon or even side games like Pokemon GO and Snap. However, with mythical Pokemon, it really does depend. Many Mythical Pokemon are somewhat withheld from normal, natural gameplay. Instead, they are given away as promos and prizes in various events. This can make filling a Pokedex a tad tricky and awkward to do. But, luckily, with Pokemon Home and Pokemon Go, you can much more easily catch Mythical Pokemon.… [Continue Reading]

On Legendary Buddies

October 19, 2021October 11, 2021 Medic 0 Comments buddy, pokemon go

I like the buddy concept in Pokemon GO. It’s one of the few things where Pokemon are treated as friends rather than candy. Sure, not a lot happens with the buddy system, but it’s a unique thing that you can passively work towards. Some Pokemon are easier to walk than others, and walking a Pokemon to Best Buddy isn’t always needed. I’ve also recommended in the past to not walk a Legendary or Mythical Pokemon, because they take too long before getting any tangible benefits. Well, call me stupid, because I don’t actually listen to my own ramblings. At all,… [Continue Reading]

The Ability to Change Forms in Pokemon GO

October 3, 2021September 26, 2021 Medic 1 Comment pokemon go

Pokemon GO recently had a Fashion Week. In it, we got a bunch of Pokemon with hats on, and a chance to be shiny. But more importantly, a new feature was somewhat revealed, alongside the Pokemon Furfrou. The new feature was the ability to change forms, something very new in Pokemon GO. At least, compared to the main series games. But is this feature actually any good? On the surface, yes. Currently, only Furfrou has this feature. In the main games, there are LOTS of different forms, but Pokemon GO is starting with one mainly cosmetic look. Unlike the normal… [Continue Reading]

Seven Hours for a Zarude

All of a sudden, we are swimming in special research. Pokemon GO does tend to have a lot of research tasks. But many of them are based on an event and just give a handful of extra rewards. On the flip side, we’ve also had a lot of special research, which can be done at our leisure. Currently, we have Hoopa research and Meloetta research. But on October 1st, we got something that’s genuinely really new. Zarude Special Research Yep, before the many Mythical Pokemon we don’t have, we had a Zarude research task thrown at us. The only real… [Continue Reading]

3-Star Raids still kinda suck

September 27, 2021September 17, 2021 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, raid, ramble

A while back, 2-Star and 4-Star raids were removed from Pokemon GO. The remaining raid bosses were split between 1-Star and 3-Star raids, with Legendary Raids left as they are. The idea was pretty simple, Niantic wanted more people to do raids. With so much variation and choice in raids, it became a little too much for the average raider to do, well, any of them. A smaller pool of raid bosses would bring players together and do more raids. On top of all that, having so many raids meant heavily splitting the player base. 4-Star raids required a team… [Continue Reading]

7 Tips for Leveling Up Your Buddy in Pokemon GO

September 17, 2021September 7, 2021 Medic 0 Comments advice, buddy, buddy system, pokemon go, tips

Pokemon GO’s buddy system is somewhat weird. Walking a buddy used to just be a way to earn candy. But now, your buddy can earn XL and Mega candt, show you Pokestops you haven’t spun before and gives you presents of varying value. At Best Buddy, your Pokemon gains an extra level, which can take a Pokemon to level 51 at most. However, the buddy system does take a lot of time, especially if you are looking to use a Legendary Pokemon. Thankfully though, I have some tips for you that can make leveling up a buddy easier. You don’t… [Continue Reading]

My Weird Way of Naming Pokemon in Pokemon GO

September 9, 2021August 31, 2021 Medic 0 Comments houndour, naming, pokemon, pokemon go, random

Whenever I browse my Friends List, looking to send gifts, I always tend to note what their Pokemon Buddies are called. After all, pretty much everyone in Pokemon GO has a buddy. What’s interesting though is when you can see their companion’s names. Many people have slightly different ways of naming their Pokemon. Some people just leave their buddy unnamed, but I like seeing people walking their Hundos and Shinies. It’s pretty obvious when someone is walking a 100% IVs Pokemon too. Either they have 100% in the Pokemon’s name, or a 15/15/15. Occasionally, you’ll also see the odd 14… [Continue Reading]

Walking a Buddy for Fun

September 2, 2021August 26, 2021 Medic 0 Comments buddy, buddy system, fun, pokemon go

Every time I start getting close to reaching Best Buddies, I go through the same old predicament. Once my current Pokemon buddy reaches Best Buddies, what do I walk in its place? There are so many Pokemon to choose from, and some will resonate more than others. Now, I’ve written in the past about what Pokemon you should buddy with. But that little guide really doesn’t help to narrow down the list that much. After all, there are so many Pokemon that we get attached to, ones that are useful and ones that are cool. But I feel like I’m… [Continue Reading]

The Ever-Increasing Difficulty of Finding a Ditto

August 25, 2021August 28, 2021 Medic 0 Comments ditto, meltan, pokemon, pokemon go

Ditto is a cool Pokemon. It has the ability to turn into pretty much anything, and in Pokemon GO, it’s no different. While Ditto may spawn in the wild in the main games, the same Pokemon is almost never seen in Pokemon GO. In fact, Ditto disguises itself as different Pokemon, and will turn back into its normal self when caught. Editor’s Note: Of course, a week after posting this article, Ditto suddenly becomes both shiny and as a reward for research breakthroughs. Typical. As someone who played Pokemon GO first and the main games later, I somehow forgot about… [Continue Reading]

Ultra Time was Great, Ultra Space was not

After GO Fest, there’s always some sort of Ultra event. The U-shaped Unown appears in raids and there’s an unusual theme surrounding the event. This year, after GO Fest 2021, players ‘unlocked’ three Ultra events. The first was Time, the second was Space and the third was randomly Gen 8 stuff. As events go, the Ultra Time and Space events were rather similar. But it’s clear as day that one event was better than the other. The big difference are in the wild spawns Time Week’s wild spawns were great. We had a mixture of actually useful wild Pokemon. Fossil… [Continue Reading]
