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]

Rowlet Community Day

January 7, 2024January 6, 2024 Medic 0 Comments community day, pokemon go, rowlet

Another year, another month and another community day! January 2024 starts the year off with Rowlet, the little owl Pokemon. And one of the very few starters with a secondary type. Rowlet is grass/flying, and evolves into Decidueye, a grass/ghost type. Evolving it during the community day will make it learn the exclusive move Frenzy Plant, while it can now also freely learn the move Spirit Shackle. The community day had the same rewards as most other ones: double candy, triple stardust, double chance for XL candy and the 3-hour duration for lures and incenses. Sadly, there was no egg… [Continue Reading]

Things in Pokemon GO that Still Annoy Me

January 6, 2024December 26, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

Pokemon GO is a good, simple game, with some hidden complexities for those who want to find them. However, there are LOTS of annoying features as well. Things that are simply really annoying. Here are the ones that are currently annoying me. Waiting for Raids Raids, for some reason, spend more time as eggs than they do as actual battles. An egg appears on a gym with a 1 hour countdown. But when that egg hatches into a raid, it only appears for 45 minutes. So you spend most of your time waiting. There are times where this doesn’t happen.… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon GO’s Weather is So Temperamental

December 27, 2023December 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, weather, weather boost

For the last few days, it has been pissing it down. Which is a good thing, because we need the rain around here. If we don’t get enough rain now, then we get droughts in the summer. However, while the skies have opened up and drowned the roads, if you open up Pokemon GO, the weather is… windy. Maybe cloudy. But definitely not raining. Funnily enough, here in Cyprus, rainy weather in Pokemon GO is exceptionally rare. When I visited the UK back in the beginning of December, it was pretty much the same. But the first two days that… [Continue Reading]

Wyrdeer Raid Day

December 26, 2023December 23, 2023 Medic 0 Comments hisui, pokemon go, raid day, wyrdeer

Raid Days vary, and today’s one was kinda basic. Wyrdeer is the Hisuian evolution of Stantler, a (rather ugly, sorry) normal type introduced in Generation 2. In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Stantler evolves into Wyrdeer by using a specific move with the agile style a fuckton (i.e. 20) of times. In Pokemon GO, Stantler can’t evolve, and instead you can only catch Wyrdeer in this weird raid day. It came complete with a supposed 1/10 shiny chance, but no special moves or anything like that. As always, we got our 5 free raid passes, plus one if you had one from… [Continue Reading]

Catch Mastery: Ice – A Catching Event

December 19, 2023December 9, 2023 Medic 0 Comments catch mastery, cryogonal, event, ice, pokemon go

Despite nearly missing this event, I quite like the Catch Mastery events. They’ve had a couple of different names over the years, with the last one being called Catch Mastery: Fighting, and other ones being called Research Days and things like that, but the premise is mostly the same. You do a bunch of simple research tasks that involve catching Pokemon, and you’re rewarded a specific one. In the case of Catch Mastery: Ice, the reward Pokemon was Cryogonal. The research tasks were pretty simple. Most of them involved getting Nice or Great throws, as well as catching Ice-type Pokemon,… [Continue Reading]
