"HOW MANY FUCKING SUICUNES ARE WE GOING TO GET?"

The Problems With The Legendary Beasts

September 9, 2019September 8, 2019 Medic 0 Comments legendary, pokemon go, raids

Up until this summer, the Legendary Beasts have somewhat plagued Pokemon Go. They were in research breakthroughs for the longest of times, especially Suicune, which no one wanted. We had the Legendary beasts for ages and most people were somewhat tired of them. Over the summer, we did get three 3-hour raid events in which there was a chance to get shiny variants, but even then, they are still… a chore. Last week was a chance to get Entei, Suicune and Raikou in level 5 raids, but aside from that, most people have them from research breakthroughs earlier in the… [Continue Reading]

Mewtwo is Overrated. In Pokemon Go At Least.

September 8, 2019September 3, 2019 Medic 0 Comments generalist, legendary, pokemon, pokemon go, specialist

When I first started doing raids on a regular basis, everyone was always like “where are your Mewtwos? Mewtwo is the best!” And I was always like “give me a break, I’ve never caught one!” or “I’m literally helping you fight a raid so I can catch one!”. As cool as Mewtwo is, as a Pokemon Go newbie, I was always recommended to load up on Mewtwos because Mewtwo was the damn best and I needed an army of them. Nowadays, I’m sitting here at level 37 and I don’t have a single powered up Mewtwo. Well I have one… [Continue Reading]

The ‘New’ PvP Charge Attack System

August 26, 2019August 22, 2019 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, pvp, trainer battles

I’ve been meaning to talk about the changes to Charge Attacks in Pokemon Go’s Trainer Battles but I keep on getting sidetracked by other things, like how cool Rayquaza is and how Suicune sucks. But I think this is worth talking about since it’s made Trainer Battles, both against Team Go Rocket, the three Team Leaders and other players a lot more bearable. The original system for charge attacks meant tapping furiously on your screen. You’d get your charge attack ready and then you’d have to power it up by tapping like a fucking lunatic, something that you were basically… [Continue Reading]

A Thousand-Year Slumber – A Quest for Jirachi

August 25, 2019August 23, 2019 Medic 0 Comments jirachi, mythical pokemon, pokemon go, special research

Jirachi, for reasons unknown, is the last Generation 3 Pokemon to be released. Being a mythical Pokemon, we all knew it would be thrown either into some sort of special research or into EX-Raids. Deoxys got the EX-Raid treatment, being split into two useless forms, one okay form and one form that has all the health and none of the damage. Mew and Celebi got special research tasks. It probably would have been weird if Jirachi had been thrown into EX-Raids. This special research, dubbed A Thousand-Year Slumber, is a collection of tasks which, once you have completed all 7… [Continue Reading]

The Mediocre Suicune Raid Event

August 19, 2019August 18, 2019 Medic 0 Comments legendary, pokemon go, shiny, suicune

Suicune is a weird Pokemon. It’s worthwhile in the handheld Pokemon games but in Pokemon Go, Suicune is just a mediocre Pokemon and I’ve never been sure why. I think it’s because it’s a pure water type that doesn’t do very much damage at all and is tanky but can’t be used in gyms. In fact, a lot of people didn’t really want to come out to do the Suicune Raid event, and I spent most of the event doing it with tourists. Or sitting at home because I don’t have the money, time, effort or golden razzberries to catch… [Continue Reading]

A Strange Talk About My Favourite Pokemon

August 18, 2019August 16, 2019 Medic 0 Comments houndoom, houndour, pokemon, pokemon go

I have a lot of Pokemon I really like and I have a lot of Pokemon that I have grown to really love over the years, but being the sort who kinda missed the original Pokemon games on hand-held consoles, I never really got into Pokemon properly until I started playing Pokemon Go. Sure, I kept up with the fact that new games were released but I never really… played them so, unlike aabicus and his beloved Rattata, I never really developed a connection to a Pokemon the same way he did. That being said, there’s something about Houndour and… [Continue Reading]

On New Gyms and Pokestops

August 14, 2019August 11, 2019 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, ramble

Pokestops and are the lifeblood of Pokemon Go, probably more so than the Pokemon that spawn at random around them. After all, if you don’t have Pokestops, you can’t get Pokeballs to catch Pokemon with, and gyms are both a way to earn coins and do raids. But while Niantic has been very slowly rolling out a way for level 40 Pokemon Go accounts to submit suggestions for Pokestops, what actually determines what is or isn’t a Pokestop is up to Niantic and people who play Ingress. Ingress is Niantic’s other flagship game, alongside that strange Harry Potter game they… [Continue Reading]

Why Rayquaza is the Best Raid Boss

August 12, 2019August 9, 2019 Medic 0 Comments dragon, legendary, pokemon go, raid boss

For the month of August, Rayquaza is the Legendary starring in level 5 Raids in Pokemon Go. Last time Rayquaza popped by was in March of 2019, but this month is the first time that Rayquaza has appeared with a shiny form. Side from the potential (and amazingly sexy) shiny, Rayquaza is mostly the same, with the same attacks and all that. But the weather dragon is probably one of the best raid bosses around. Why? Well, there’s three main reasons. The first is that Rayquaza has lately seemed to coincide with events or reasons that make it easier to… [Continue Reading]

Medic’s Thoughts on Spoofing in Pokemon Go

August 9, 2019August 5, 2019 Medic 0 Comments cheating, pokemon, pokemon go

In Pokemon Go, it is possible to fool your GPS and location data and convince your phone and your game that you are not where you say you are. This does sometimes happen by accident while playing normally (a phenomenon called GPS drift where your phone takes a moment to resync with GPS) but some people will trick their GPS on purpose in order to catch Pokemon around the world. Frankly, no matter what you say, this is basically cheating. You may not be editing Pokemon Go itself or altering the base game in any way but you are using… [Continue Reading]

Ralts Community Day

August 6, 2019August 5, 2019 Medic 0 Comments fun, pokemon go, ralts, shiny

The Ralts Community Day was a few days ago and it was a genuinely very nice one. It was my brother’s birthday, we’d done a couple of raids in the morning and the afternoon was slightly cooler than Mudkip Day, which was in the middle of a massive heatwave. But Ralts Community Day was a tad different, for a handful of reasons. The first is that every single egg obtained during the event was a 10km egg, which would be 2.5km with the 1/4 hatch times on eggs. All of these eggs though would hatch into a Ralts. Which is… [Continue Reading]
