Little Quality of Life Things I Want for Pokemon GO

Medic 0 Comments

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

Medic 0 Comments ,

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

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

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]

Halloween Ends on 8pm in Pokemon GO

Medic 0 Comments

Halloween is generally a big thing. While I spent my Halloween on my own, sitting in pain and crying, many people went out, put costumes and ate tons of candy. Whether they went from door to door or went to a party, they had fun and probably stayed out past 8pm. People with little kids probably didn’t stay out too late, but it was Halloween, the day where most people DID stay out. Not for Pokemon GO though. The Halloween event they had (which included a Rocket Takeover event too) decided to end at 8pm. At exactly 8pm, all the… [Continue Reading]

The Curse Of Looking for Raids

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

I swear, every time I go out looking for raids, I can’t find any. But when I don’t want to do raids, there are plenty of them. The other day, I went out to play Pokemon GO with my brother, and we simply couldn’t find any raids. We tend to go out to do raids semi regularly, since we both play together. As of late, thanks to the Master Ball research, we’ve wanted to do more raids, thanks to the Win 60 Raids task in the timed research. While I managed to complete the research thanks to my location, my… [Continue Reading]

How I’d Improve Shadow Raids in Pokemon GO

Medic 0 Comments ,

Shadow Raids are exactly that: raids but with Shadow Pokemon. These raids vary between being very hard to very difficult, especially if you do Shadow Legendary Raids. However, I think these raids, which are often ignored, could be improved. Here’s how I’d do it. Stop making them angrier When you do a Shadow Raid, if it’s a level 3 or level 5 raid, then the Pokemon you’re raiding against gets enraged. This means they do more damage and they also take less damage. There are two ways to subdue a Pokemon that’s enraged. You either throw purification gems at the… [Continue Reading]

Wooper Community Day

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Wooper is a cute Pokemon, and it was made even cuter when Pokemon Scarlet and Violet came out, as it got a regional form which was also very cute. So when it got a community day, I was excited to get not just one, but two cute, cool shinies. For this community day, we got not just normal Wooper, but we also got the release of Paldean Wooper, and its evolution Clodsire. The bonuses for this event were 1/4 hatch distance and x2 candy on catching Pokemon. These didn’t feel that useful, mostly because Wooper has never been a rare… [Continue Reading]

On Shadows and IVs

Medic 0 Comments ,

So we just had a Team Rocket Takeover event, and it was pretty damn good. It was also part of a Halloween event, but, frankly, with the new shadow Pokemon we got, it was like Christmas for anyone who is into doing raids. We got four new shadow Pokemon that are either the best or among the best when it comes to DPS. The Pokemon we got are genuinely great. Shadow Rampardos and Shadow Gengar are the glassiest of cannons, but when they do manage to get their damage off, they absolutely destroy. Unfortunately, that might not always be possible,… [Continue Reading]

Hatching Eggs Sucks

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Hatching eggs in Pokemon GO is a tedious thing. You spend ages walking around and an egg hatches and, most of the time, it’s nothing good. The last ten eggs I’ve hatched have all given me nothing good. But let’s look deeper into why eggs suck so much. Basically, to put things into TF2 terms, eggs are crates, and incubators are keys. While you do get one free and infinite incubator, having just the one makes hatching eggs take a long time. It requires a lot of walking to hatch one egg, with the longer it needs to walk, the… [Continue Reading]

The Team Rocket Leaders Are Actually Worth Fighting Now!

Medic 0 Comments , , , ,

After three months of awful shadow Pokemon, the Team Rocket Leaders now actually have good Pokemon! In fact, all three of them have pretty good Pokemon! It looks like it’s time to equip those Rocket Radars I’ve been holding on to. With the Halloween Rocket Takeover event, we got three new Pokemon from the Leaders of Team Rocket, and Giovanni is also back with a new shadow Legendary. Sierra is back with Sableye, Arlo is skulking around with Bellsprout and Cliff is now everyone’s new best friend with Dratini. All three Pokemon have the potential to be shiny, and are… [Continue Reading]
