More Candies for Better Throws Should be the Norm

August 27, 2022August 21, 2022 Medic 0 Comments candy, pokemon, pokemon go

During the Ultra Bug Out event, a new passive bonus was released, alongside a bunch of other event buffs. Simply put, you’d get more candy based on the quality of a throw. A Nice throw would earn you one extra candy, a Great throw two candy and an Excellent throw 3 candy. With a pinap berry, that’s up to 12 candy for an Excellent throw on a normal Pokemon. Pretty neat, right? Sadly, this extra candy for good throws is only for the Bug Out event, and once it’s gone, we might not ever see it again. However, the extra… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon Shield and Feeling Deflated

August 12, 2022August 12, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon shield

So I’ve been playing Pokemon Shield for a while now. I’ve finished the main story and become the champion already. But I am still picking the game up occasionally. Why? Mostly to try and fill my Pokedex. Even if it’s a futile effort. But there is something bothering me about Pokemon Shield, and it’s the difficulty. The game is too easy. In fact, it’s insanely easy. To the point that I didn’t lose a single battle in the entirety of the main story. Only a handful of characters were of any challenge to me. Heck, even Leon, with his Gigantamax… [Continue Reading]

My 5 Favourite Useless Pokemon

August 11, 2022August 5, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, useless

Let’s face it, not all Pokemon are equal. Or even close to equal in any way what so ever. Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t love a Pokemon, if it isn’t very good. You can love a Pokemon no matter how useless they are. And here are some of the useless Pokemon I happen to love. Shiny Wurmple JUST LOOK AT IT! LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS! Okay, I’ll calm down. But honestly, I do very much like all the shiny low level bug types. They;re a big part of the beginning of any Pokemon game, being small and soft… [Continue Reading]

5 Pokemon that are Pretty Damn Useless in Pokemon GO

August 7, 2022August 2, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, useless

Not all Pokemon are equal. In fact, there’s a ton of inequality in these pocket monsters. On the one hand you have cute birds and little mice. On the other hand, you have terrifying monsters that can flood the entire world. These Pokemon, and every Pokemon between them, can be used by us to participate in battles and raids and things like that. However, there are some Pokemon that are different. They lack something that sets them apart from the rest of their species. Here are five Pokemon who are pretty damn useless in Pokemon GO. Party Hat Nidorino For… [Continue Reading]

Pokemon Camping is Fun

August 5, 2022July 29, 2022 Medic 0 Comments camping, pokemon, pokemon shield

In Pokemon Sword and Shield, you can go camping! At the start of the game, you are given a whole camping bag that contains all the stuff you need to pitch a tent and chill out with your Pokemon buddies. It’s actually a pretty cute little distraction, and adds a nice social aspect to the game. You can camp alone or with NPCs, let your Pokemon get some fresh air and do some cooking. And, unlike Dynamax raids, you don’t need to worry about a Solrock buffing itself 4 times before having its stats reset by the raid boss. It’s… [Continue Reading]

A Hall of Fame

July 31, 2022July 28, 2022 Medic 1 Comment hall of fame, pokemon, pokemon shield

I kinda realized that I didn’t really showcase the team I used in Pokemon Shield. Some Pokemon were permanent members, while others came and went, according to any upcoming gyms. For each new gym challenge, I swapped out Pokemon and leveled up Pokemon that were guaranteed to be super effective against the gym leaders. However, my final team was a bit different. After all, the gym leaders all focused on one type. And I could just pick Pokemon that were super-effective against their types. Leon and my rivals on the other hand all had much more diverse teams. So I… [Continue Reading]

Dynamax Raids are Weird

July 23, 2022July 14, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go, pokemon shield

Funnily enough, the one thing I find closest to Pokemon GO in Pokemon Shield is the raid battle system. As in, both games have raids. That similarity is in name only though, because raid work differently in both games, and you can only solo some raids in Pokemon GO, not the majority of them in Pokemon Shield, and GO raids require a lot of tapping, while Shield/Sword raids require taking turns. You also have a timer on both. Pokemon GO has an obvious timer that ticks down, but Shield has a limited number of turns before you are kicked out.… [Continue Reading]

My Thoughts on Dynamaxing

July 22, 2022July 13, 2022 Medic 0 Comments dynamax, mega pokemon, pokemon, pokemon shield

I never really got around to trying Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves. As far as I was always concerned, Z-Moves seemed boring to me, while Mega Evolutions looked fun and stupidly powerful. Then we have Dynamax, which, when I originally first saw it, looked like Mega Evolutions but worse. Your Pokemon gets all big, grows extra features and gets some cool moves in the process. The whole system is introduced in the first cutscene of the game, by a Gigantamax Charizard with wings made of fire. If you had shown me a picture of either of Charizard’s Mega forms alongside its… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time – Part 21 – Finale

July 19, 2022July 19, 2022 Medic 1 Comment Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time, pokemon, pokemon shield

Hop wants a fight, but I want to rest up and improve my team. After all, I’m still using the same team I used to beat Leon, and half my Pokemon needed a pick-me-up. But now I’ve healed up and switched a few Pokemon around, I’m happy to go. Time to head back to the Slumbering Weald, where Hop has been looking around, playing with his new Legendary buddy. So I head back to the Slumbering Weald and forget that Galarian Weezing hide in the grass around there. Luckily, to save walking through it all, Sonia is waiting for me,… [Continue Reading]

Medic Plays A Real Pokemon Game for the First Time – Part 20

So I’m the champion now, and most people recognize me as such. But for reasons I can’t explain, there are these two dorks that are doing stupid shit with Dynamax, trying to prove some bullshit about the two Legendary Pokemon who helped on the Darkest Day. And it all starts when I go and see the grave of said Pokemon. I end up running into Hop, who has the sword relic, while I have my shield relic. We have a quick battle (which Hop loses) but are interrupted by Sonia and two assholes. Seriously, these guys are massive twunts. They… [Continue Reading]
