Pointless Event Moves in Pokemon Go

March 21, 2020March 14, 2020 Medic 0 Comments charge attack, community day, pokemon go, special move

Unlike the main series games, Pokemon Go has a much, much smaller move pool. Because you can only ever have one fast attack and two charge attacks, you can’t use as many moves and getting the moves you want is tricky. You need to spend time wasting TMs to get the moves you want. Or you have to wait for a community day or other event to get the moves you want. But while the majority of new moves added via events are good, some of them are… weird. Questionable. Pointless even. Here are some of those moves. Ampharos with… [Continue Reading]

The Weird Pokemon Go Event No One Really Noticed

March 18, 2020March 14, 2020 Medic 0 Comments event, machop, makuhita, mankey, meditite, pokemon go

Over the weekend that introduced season two of the GBL and brought back Altered Forme Giratina, something strange happened. There was clearly an event, but no one seemed to… notice. It just happened. There was no real announcement, nothing. But it was there. It wasn’t a good event, but it was there. I didn’t notice this event myself until I bought the 1 coin Incense pack and used one. Because of the current pandemic that’s sweeping the globe, Incenses have been buffed. While an Incense used to last 30 minutes and spawn 5-8 Pokemon, increasing if you are traveling, walking… [Continue Reading]

Completely Giving Up On The Pokemon Go Battle League

March 17, 2020July 23, 2021 Medic 17 Comments go battle league, pokemon go, pvp

I mentioned a while back that there was now a ranked battle league in Pokemon Go. I thought it was cool back then. But now? It sucks. To the point that I have given up on it completely. It’s just not worth your time or your Premium Passes. Why? There’s loads of reasons why! Weirdly Small Metas Despite there being so many Pokemon, there’s already a massive, established meta. If you don’t have the meta-relevant Pokemon, you’re going to struggle. Or you’re going to spend a lot of stardust powering Pokemon up. It’s not too awful in the Great League,… [Continue Reading]

WAY Too Many Events In Pokemon Go – Are Events Becoming A Problem?

March 16, 2020March 16, 2020 Medic 0 Comments eggs, event, legendary, pokemon go, raid

Editor’s Note: This article’s kinda weird now that places are locking down because of COVID-19, but the article does still apply because the raid events ARE still happening, despite lock downs. The major difference is that these raid events have also turned into PVP events too. Wow. This year has been absolutely jam-packed with events in Pokemon Go! We have had so much to do! In March alone, except for normal events like Community Days, we have had an event every weekend, with overlapping events too! In fact, it’s reached the point where I can’t keep up! What is going… [Continue Reading]

Abra Community Day Postponed and other Pokemon Go Changes

March 13, 2020March 13, 2020 Medic 0 Comments event, pokemon go, virus

It seems like the Corona Virus is currently hitting quite hard, with reactions from “seal everything off completely because this is highly contagious!” (a good thing) to “meh, it’s just a cold!” (a bad thing). Now, I’m no expert, so I’m not going to talk about things I don’t know about. All I’ll say is that you should wash your damn hands. But I DO know about Pokemon Go. And Pokemon Go is cancelling or postponing events left right and center. Yes, events are being cancelled. The first big cancellation was that all events in South Korea, Japan and Italy… [Continue Reading]

Reviewing Nominations with Niantic Wayfarer

March 9, 2020March 3, 2020 Medic 0 Comments niantic, pokemon go, wayfarer

Now that I am level 40, I can now submit my own waypoints in Pokemon Go, to be reviwwed. But I can also go to Niantic Wayfarer and review other people’s waypoint submissions. It’s all a rather simple, clean layout on wayfarer.nianticlabs.com. And I think it’s worth looking at. Niantic uses Wayfarer to determine whether points of interest in the real world are any good or not. By giving you a photo, a description, a picture of the surrounding area, some Google Maps and a 5-star rating system, you can judge on interesting things nearby. Sounds simple, right? Well, before… [Continue Reading]

Team GO Rocket Attacks Nearly Every Pokestop – the 2pm – 5pm Team GO Rocket Event

March 8, 2020March 7, 2020 Medic 0 Comments event, pokemon go, special research, team go rocket, team rocket

On March 7th 2020, from 2pm until 5pm, Team GO Rocket struck again! They attacked every single Pokestop they could find! For three glorious hours, Giovanni’s grunts, both male and female, took over every Pokestop around, while also giving up bonus stardust. There were also a handful of special Team GO Rocket research tasks. And frankly? It was bloody brilliant! In fact, this mini-event was so good that I managed to get my Shadow Entei in under 2 hours. That’s genuinely insane. I actually started today with just a single Rocket Radar, hoping to defeat one of the Team GO… [Continue Reading]

Level 40 Get!

I’ve done it! I’ve finally hit level 40 in Pokemon Go! Actually, by the time this article comes out, I’ll have been level 40 for a few days. But my days of leveling are over! It only took me four months, but I finally got the 5 million experience needed to hit the maximum level in Pokemon Go. Was it worth it? Kinda. Well, the good news is that I have no use for Lucky Eggs any more. The bad news is that I received 4 Lucky Eggs for hitting level 40. I also received 4 Incubators, 40 Max Potions… [Continue Reading]

Are the Monthly Team Rocket Quests Too Difficult?

February 29, 2020February 21, 2020 Medic 1 Comment pokemon go, quest, shadow, special research, team rocket

In the past, we have discussed a lot of Team Go Rocket stuff, from how to beat them to the rather weird, outlandish theories I have about all of them being clones. But I haven’t really discussed the actual difficulty level of these monthly research quests. Sure, I mentioned how the “purify Pokemon” step is easier to do. And I was glad when Arlo stopped having Scyther as his starting Pokemon. But in general, is this special research too difficult? I’m going to say yes. Before I go on though, I feel I should point out that I can be… [Continue Reading]

[Pokemon GO] 5 Ways to Catch Pokemon Without Spawns

February 26, 2020February 24, 2020 aabicus 0 Comments Filler, pokemon, pokemon go

Of the many, many things Pokemon GO expects you to do every day to keep your streaks up, the most important is to catch a single Pokemon. Stardust is the most valuable of the non-premium currencies, requiring hundreds of thousands of the stuff to do all the important stuff in the late game, and the first-catch boost (and 7-Day streak bonus) is one of the best ways to keep stocked up with minimum effort. But sometimes that’s easier said than done. Perhaps you’re going on vacation to somewhere without much internet presence. Perhaps (like me) you ended up moving to a… [Continue Reading]
