On Tyranitar

November 26, 2018November 22, 2018 Medic 0 Comments meta, pokemon go, tyranitar

“Τί θα χρησιμοποιείτε για το raid?” (“What will you use for the raid?”) is a phrase I ask before most level 4 or 5 raids in Pokemon Go. I always ask my fellow players what Pokemon they will use to beat the shit out of some poor raid boss. The answer though is always the same. “Tyranitar.” “Τίποτε άλλο?” (“Anything else?”) “Μόνο Tyranitar.” Every time. Occasionally you will get the odd Mewtwo or Gengar, always with Shadow Ball. Sometimes one of the older players will have a Rayquaza or a Ho-Oh. Occasionally for a level 4 raid you’ll see the… [Continue Reading]

The Horrible Realization That Everything I Know is Wrong

November 24, 2018November 22, 2018 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go

I don’t know how I’ve managed this, but really, I’ve been throwing Pokeballs wrong the entire time I’ve been playing Pokemon Go. And basically I’ve been an idiot in general when it comes to this silly little mobile game. I’m not really sure where to start on this. I suppose it all begins with my sister introducing me to the game one day when she had a day off work and I met up with her in town. I installed the game while we had a drink in a local cafe and she showed me the basics of the game,… [Continue Reading]

On Deoxys and Ex Raids

November 23, 2018November 23, 2018 Medic 0 Comments deoxys, ex raid, pokemon go, raid

My first Ex Raid may have been a total disaster for me, but I got over my anger and started playing Pokemon Go again. Quite obviously if you’re a regular reader, since I published an article about Pokemon Go’s Gengar event the other day, not to mention the fact that I managed to catch 108 Pokemon for the Spiritomb research. Since that Ex Raid, I’ve done two more and was going to be invited to do another but unfortunately I had work. Clearly something must have changed since I did that first raid, because Deoxys was much easier to catch… [Continue Reading]

On Dragonite

November 15, 2018November 11, 2018 Medic 0 Comments dragon, pokemon, pokemon go

Playing Pokemon Go has brought out the nerdy side of me. It’s also gone and brought out a lot of nostalgia, as well as a desire to go through all my old Pokemon cards. When I was little and when I collected them, my two favourites were always Ponyta and Dratini. I managed to collect multiple Rapidash and Dragonair cards, but I never found a Dragonite, so for a long time, I’d forgotten about that Pokemon. It wasn’t until I hatched a Dratini from an egg in Pokemon Go that I remembered that Dragonite was a thing. Because I instantly… [Continue Reading]

Fricking Gengar

November 5, 2018November 3, 2018 Medic 1 Comment event, gengar, ghost, pokemon, pokemon go

November 3rd, from noon until 3pm local time, every raid was replaced by Gengar, with a chance to get a shiny one. It was a bit like the Moltres day, except Gengar’s a weird purple lump and Moltres is a legendary flaming chicken. I never really understood the obsession with Gengar. Sure, he can get Shadow Ball, which is a high damage attack, and he’s a Ghost type Pokemon, but he’s also the most glass cannon-y of glass cannons. If you can get a nice Shadow Ball off Gengar, sure, the damage is good. But all it takes is one… [Continue Reading]

5 Quality of Life Features I’d Like to See in Pokemon GO

October 30, 2018October 27, 2018 Medic 0 Comments Features, idea, pokemon, pokemon go, qol, suggestion, suggestions

I do enjoy Pokemon GO, but sometimes the game feels like it’s wearing me down, that some basic actions are rather tedious and annoying, only fixed with a little bit of trial and error. So I’ve gone and made a little list of features and changes that I feel would make Pokemon GO a little bit more user friendly! The ability to view attacks or elements when picking Pokemon for battle I’ve got a good 10 Houndooms, all of which have got different attacks and different CPs. Most of them have dark attacks, but a couple of them have either… [Continue Reading]

Spiritomb and Its Mini Quest

October 29, 2018October 27, 2018 Medic 0 Comments event, pokemon, pokemon go, spiritomb

Pokemon Go this year has a pretty nice Halloween event. Two new Generation 4 Pokemon (Drifloon and Stunky, plus their evolutions) and a huge influx of Ghost type Pokemon. Giratina has replaced Mewtwo in level 5 raids and November 3rd promises nothing but Gengar in raids for 3 hours, with Gengar having a shiny form. But there’s also some special research. A quest called A Spooky Message. The reward? A Spiritomb. As special research goes, A Spooky Message isn’t particularly difficult or anything, it’s just tedious. There are 3 parts to this special research, but stage 3 doesn’t actually do… [Continue Reading]

A Fun Beldum Community Day

October 22, 2018October 22, 2018 Medic 0 Comments event, pokemon, pokemon go

You know what? I wasn’t too sure when I first heard that Beldum would be the Pokemon of choice for the October Community Day in Pokemon GO. It seems like such a strange Pokemon, lacking in any of the charm that other Community Day Pokemon had. Chikorita, Eevee and all that, they’re generally quite cute. Beldum is rather weird-looking and its evolutions are not cute in any way what so ever. But still, who can say no to the chance of getting more shinies! This Community Day was on a Sunday, meaning I was joined by not only my brother,… [Continue Reading]

The Early Birds of Generation Four in Pokemon Go

October 19, 2018October 18, 2018 Medic 0 Comments generation 4, pokemon, pokemon go

It seems that the first few members of Generation 4 have started appearing in Pokemon Go. The three starter Pokemon, Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplio were all teased over the last few days, and a handful of Pokemon have started popping up alongside the normal bunch of regulars one sees around town. The list though is quite small. The entirety of Generation 4 hasn’t been released yet, it is literally just under thirty Pokemon. The three starters and their evolutions, the Starly evolution line, the Shinx evolution line, Bidoof and his evolution, Riolu and Lucario, Buneary and Lopunny and a handful… [Continue Reading]
