Chansey Community Day

February 5, 2024February 4, 2024 Medic 0 Comments chansey, community day, pokemon go

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to Chansey Community Day. I already had a bunch of shiny Chansey, Blissey’s shiny is the worst and since my egg space is full of 10 and 12km eggs, I didn’t expect to get a shiny Happiny (and I didn’t). Out of all the Pokemon we could have had for a Community Day, Chansey was so low down the list that I would have preferred Pikachu again. I get that maybe Niantic wanted something pink for February, to go with the Valentines Day event that they always do, but not only is Valentines… [Continue Reading]

The Problem With Dragon Events in Pokemon GO

February 4, 2024January 26, 2024 Medic 0 Comments dragons, pokemon go

So coming up this week is a Lunar New Year event in Pokemon GO. This year, 2024, is the year of the dragon. And, like every year, Pokemon GO has set up an event where the zodiac animal of choice is the one that’s spawning. Except, well, this year, we’re getting a lot of, well, not dragons. Actually, that being said, there are at least three dragons spawning in this event. Dratini ALWAYS seems to spawn in dragon events, but we’re also getting Noibat and Jangmo-o. The other Pokemon though, which will almost certainly be more common, are Magikarp, Shuckle,… [Continue Reading]

Stupidly Hard To Get Pokemon That Are Also Kinda Useless in Pokemon GO

February 3, 2024January 25, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

There are a lot of rare Pokemon in Pokemon GO, but just because something is rare, that doesn’t mean it’s good. Here are some stupidly rare, hard to get Pokemon that just aren’t worth the effort. Salazzle I really like Salazzle. It was what carried me in Pokemon Shield, and I have one on my team in Pokemon Violet as well. It’s actually not the easiest Pokemon to obtain in general though, because you need to get a female Salandit to evolve it into a Salazzle, and only 12.5% of Salandit are female. In Pokemon GO, this is even harder… [Continue Reading]

Good Luck Getting Dusk Form Rockruff

February 1, 2024January 23, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, rockruff

Did you know that you can now get Dusk Form Rockruff? No? Well it was released rather unceremoniously during an event which kinda had nothing to do with Rockruff. All the event spawns didn’t seem to fit. Like, why was Gastly spawning, and why was it the only Pokemon that seemed to be spawning in obvious numbers? In reality, the event was an egg-hatching event, but without any sort of discount on incubators or a reduced hatching distance. Dusk Form Rockruff was introduced kinda at a whim. It had a chance to appear in event eggs, event research and raids,… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon I miss seeing in the wild

January 27, 2024January 18, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

Pokemon GO currently has the second most Pokemon available to catch, after Pokemon HOME, only just edging out Ultra Sun and Moon. When Pokemon Sword and Shield came out, we had Dexit, and a LOT of Pokemon were cut out of the game, you could no longer catch them all. Scarlet and Violet continued this trend, with there only being about 400 Pokemon in the complete Pokedex for the game and its current DLCs. However, while you can almost catch them all in Pokemon GO, a lot of it relies on luck, and a LOT of Pokemon can only be… [Continue Reading]

Routes Are Still Annoying

January 25, 2024January 15, 2024 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, ramble, routes

Routes in Pokemon GO are kinda simple. You go up to a Pokestop or gym, start a route, then follow a glowing trail all the way to another Pokestop or gym. And that’s… kinda it. There is some leeway when it comes to actually following the path, as it has to deal with GPS sway and things like that, but you still have to stick kinda close to the route. If you travel too far away, you have to backtrack and then MANUALLY resume the route. At the end of the route, there’s a chance of finding a Zygarde Cell… [Continue Reading]

Porygon Community Day Classic

January 21, 2024January 20, 2024 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go

I swear, they only ever seem to bring back the more useless Pokemon for Community Day Classic events. Hence why, on Jan 20th, we had the return of Porygon, which appeared in a Community Day back in September 2020. Which was a long time ago, but, well, Porygon isn’t exactly the most amazing of creatures. This Community Day Classic was nothing special either. The bonus was x3 catch experience, meaning you can get a nice, easy 3k experience one excellent throw. Incense and Lure Modules lasted for 3 hours if activated during the event. Those were the only bonuses, we… [Continue Reading]

Hisuian Typhlosion Raid Day

January 16, 2024January 15, 2024 Medic 0 Comments hisui, pokemon go, raid day, starter pokemon, typhlosion

It’s nice that we’re getting more raid days. So far, we’ve had Hisuian Samurott, Wyrdeer and now Hisuian Typhlosion, with Hisuian Decidueye coming next month. It’s nice to get some free raid passes, not get a shiny and start eating into your premium raid passes, hoping you’ll finally get some better luck. But yeah, on Jan 14th, we had a raid day for Hisuian Typhlosion. Now, there’s something about Hisuian Typhlosion that kinda creeps me out. It’s too… drunk. It looks like it wants to seduce you in an alleyway, steal your soul then take your car on a joyride.… [Continue Reading]

How to Maximize Your Daily Incense

January 14, 2024January 3, 2024 Medic 0 Comments daily adventure incense, pokemon go

It turns out, I was wrong about the Daily Incense in Pokemon GO. I always thought that the Daily Adventure Incense was pretty simple. It would just spit out one Pokemon every minute, meaning you could ever only get 15 Pokemon total. But no, it’s more complicated than that. It turns out, you can get a lot more Pokemon out of a single Incense. The way the Daily Adventure Incense works is simple. It lasts for 15 minutes, and the more you walk, the more Pokemon spawn. The spawn rate is pretty simple. Every 30 seconds, the game checks to… [Continue Reading]
