Halloween Ends on 8pm in Pokemon GO

November 11, 2023November 1, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

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

November 9, 2023October 29, 2023 Medic 0 Comments lugia, pokemon go, raid, shadow

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

November 7, 2023October 27, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, shadow raids

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

November 6, 2023November 5, 2023 Medic 0 Comments community day, paldea, pokemon go, wooper

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

November 4, 2023October 24, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, shadow

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

November 1, 2023October 21, 2023 Medic 0 Comments eggs, incubators, pokemon go

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!

October 30, 2023October 27, 2023 Medic 0 Comments bellsprout, dratini, pokemon go, sableye, team rocket

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]

Party Play Is… Interesting

October 29, 2023October 18, 2023 Medic 0 Comments challenge, party play, pokemon go

Pokemon GO recently added a new feature called Party Play. The idea is that up to four players can join a group and see each other in-game. While you are in Party Play, you get various buffs and benefits, as well as various challenges to do. Is this feature any good though? Well, kinda. It’s a neat little feature. You can see your friends on your screen as you play. You can only have four players though, which might screw over families with three or more kids. I think that’s who this new feature is aimed at. Party Play lasts… [Continue Reading]

60 Raids for a Master Ball – Was It Worth It?

October 28, 2023October 17, 2023 Medic 2 Comments ball, master ball, pokemon go, raids, timed research

So I’ve finally completed the Master Ball timed research. It’s taken me around about two months, but I finished it with time to spare. The hardest task by far was to win 60 raids. However, was this research worth it? Was it worth spending raid passes, both free and premium? Well, kinda… First off, 60 raids is too many raids. If you want to do the research without spending money, you have to do a raid every day for, well, two months. Which is basically what I did. I did spend quite a few premium raid passes on a Guzzlord… [Continue Reading]

The Least Interesting Pokemon GO Event Bonuses

October 24, 2023October 13, 2023 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

For events, there’s always some sort of little bonus. Sometimes the bonuses can be huge, like the x4 stardust and experience during the Paldea event in the season Adventures Abound. That bonus was insane, and I played a lot of that event to make the most of the massive boosts. Normally though, bonuses are a little calmer. In an event, you’ll probably get just one bonus, like x2 candy on catching Pokemon, or the more skill-based extra candy based on your quality of throw. But some bonuses just aren’t very good. Increased Chance of XL Candy I’ve seen this event… [Continue Reading]
