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]

The Pokemon GO Community Weekend 2023

December 18, 2023December 16, 2023 Medic 0 Comments 2023, community day, pokemon go

Every December, we don’t get a singular Community Day with one Pokemon. Instead we get a recap weekend, where the Pokemon from the Community Days of the year are split into two groups, and you have two Community Days on one weekend. This year’s Community Weekend featured the likes of Fennekin, Chespin, Froakie, Togetic, Noibat, Poliwag, Slowpoke, Grubbin, Axew, Timburr and Wooper. Just like previous years,we got two days of spawns, with all 11 Pokemon spawning from between 10am to 10pm, then the community day spawn rates and shiny chances from 2pm t0 5pm. Evolving a Pokemon that featured in… [Continue Reading]

Wednesday Raid Hour

December 13, 2023November 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments legendary, pokemon go, raid

Pokemon GO is kinda designed as a community game, a game we have to play together. After all, we have events called Community Days, we have large friends lists that give us bonuses as we level up and we work together to beat raids. One community-based event however happens every Wednesday. At 6pm local time, level 5 Legendary raids appear on the majority of gyms, an event known as Raid Hour. If a gym already has a raid on it, if it finishes before Raid Hour ends at 7pm, then it’ll get a Legendary raid egg after the current raid… [Continue Reading]

Party Play Is Pretty Good Now

December 4, 2023November 22, 2023 Medic 0 Comments friends, party play, pokemon go

With the end of the Season of Adventures Abound, we got an event revolving around Adventures Abound’s biggest feature, Party Play. Party Play allows you to team up with up to three other trainers, see each other on the overworld, do research tasks together and take on bosses more easily than ever. The event, Party Up!, celebrated the feature and also brought back the new generation 9 Pokemon and the new shinies from the season. When Party Play originally came out, it was a bit underwhelming. Not only did it come with a bug which could delete all your saved… [Continue Reading]

Mareep Classic Community Day

November 26, 2023November 25, 2023 Medic 0 Comments ampharos, baa, community day, community day classic, mareep, pokemon go

On November 25th, we had the Classic Community Day of the season. This classic community day though wasn’t the most interesting one as it featured Mareep, the little fluffy electric sheep. Mareep is actually a pretty common Pokemon, regardless of season, and has been around for a long time. It also had a research weekend event where you’d complete research tasks in order to get Mareep. Still, Mareep Community Day is what we got, and, weirdly, it came with quarter egg-hatching distance, again. Personally though, I’ve been wanting this. Despite all my years of playing, I never managed to actually… [Continue Reading]

The five types of lure module currently in Pokemon GO

Lure Modules Aren’t Very Good

November 17, 2023November 6, 2023 Medic 0 Comments incense, lure module, pokemon go

Lure modules are like incense for Pokestops. You stick a lure module on a Pokestop and it spawns some Pokemon for you. Lure modules generally spawn from specific pools. The default lure module spawns whatever Pokemon are currently in the normal spawn pool, so they’ll spawn event Pokemon if there is an event, although some events do have Pokemon that are exclusive to lure modules. However, the special lures, Glacial, Mossy, Magnetic and Rainy, all have their own unique pools of Pokemon, and spawn a combination of these unique spawns and normal spawns. The special lures can also be used… [Continue Reading]

Little Quality of Life Things I Want for Pokemon GO

November 16, 2023November 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

Over the years, Pokemon GO had been given a lot of little quality of life updates. But after all these years, there is still work to be done. Here are some quality of life changes, or rather, additions I’d like to see. A way to spin Pokestops with a full bag Pokestops do two things. They give you items and they give you research tasks. Sometimes, you just want research tasks. However, if your item bag is full, you can’t get research tasks, you need to clear some space out first. This is quite annoying. There’s no real reason to… [Continue Reading]

Shiny Pokemon I Want But Still Don’t Have

November 14, 2023November 3, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, shiny

Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO are more common than they are in other Pokemon games, except maybe in Scarlet and Violet, where you can just eat sandwiches that increase the chance of having shiny Pokemon pop up around you. But despite me having played Pokemon GO for years, there are plenty of Pokemon that are missing from my shiny collection. Here’s just a few of them. Slugma I don’t really know why I want a shiny Slugma. It’s a really interesting shiny that goes light grey. Weirdly, its evolution, Magcargo (which is a pretty crap name for a lava snail… [Continue Reading]

Mega Garchomp Raid Day

November 12, 2023November 11, 2023 Medic 0 Comments dragon, garchomp, mega, pokemon go, raid day

November 11th featured the first Raid Day in a long time, involving a new Mega Pokemon, Mega Garchomp. While we did have a Gible Community Day a few years back, this event allowed us to finally Mega Evolve the Garchomps we’ve had for so long, as well as the chance to catch some more Garchomps. The Garchomps had a chance to be shiny, and you got up to 5 free raid passes by spinning gyms. There were plenty of raids to be had. As a somewhat new feature, each raid would last 1 hour, and, after the raid ended, a… [Continue Reading]
