The introduction of the 12k “Strange” Eggs has given me a new reason to fight the Rocket Bosses (Arlo, Cliff, Sierra). Prior to this, the various Shadow Pokemon that they doled out after beating them was nice, but usually the Shadow Pokemon I got were 1* or 2*, so they were useless to me. IfContinue reading “Eggs – What is and What Should Be”

I just got my 10th Best Buddy (Silver Medal). This is one I wanted to get as I like Darkrai, but there have been a few starts and stops to get others going as well. I put both Dark Pulse and Shadow Ball to make this the best it could be…

As was recently announced, some of the bonuses that have been part of the game since the current situation started will remain in the game after October 1 and some will no longer be in the game. No matter if you are familiar with them or not, I will go over them as things IContinue reading “My Thoughts on the October Changes to the In-Game Bonuses”

With the recent Remote Raid Boom, many of us have been able to play with our friends at various gyms. I have hosted raids for people from various places that I have been and will continue to do so. I have participated in raids that others have hosted as well. I enjoy being able toContinue reading “Change #8 – Home Gaming Part II – Home Gym (for Raids)”

With the current COVID situation, Pokemon Go has made strides to become a game where we can at least play at home somewhat. Many of us still need to go out to spin a Pokestop, but at least we get gifts from buddies on a regular basis, a guaranteed home spawn every day, and aContinue reading “Change #8 Home Gaming Part I – Home Spawn for All”

I was told the other day about a Machop nest at a park I had not been before, but might go to again in the future for a change of scenery. So on the 6th day in a Machop Nest, the Shiny Gods relented.

I had a decent enough Community Day… got 10 shinies and a 93 IV. I didn’t play the entire 6 hours. I don’t have an affinity for Porygon other than it is a new Shiny, so there’s that. Also, I got my 2nd Shiny Bird today. Articuno joins Moltres as Shiny Birds. How was yours?Continue reading “Porygon Community Day”

Lots and lots of new things going on. Some great, some good, some jury’s still out, some need to be called out. Should be Great: Spawn Points Changes for the rural player (granted, those players who had their spawn sites widened out may disagree, but those are likely more urban players and they probably haveContinue reading “TWIP 8/29”

I just got Best Buddy #9 yesterday during the day and then got the last candy for Level 40 for my Kyogre that I call Johnny Canuck. This is my highest CP Best Buddy and is as of now #2 overall. #10 will be the gold medal and is estimated to be 160 hearts away.Continue reading “Best Buddy #9”

This will be a TWIP style for the last couple of weeks. There were a few other events in real life and Pokemon Go that I want to cover, but do not have a lot of content for an entire post. Tropical Storm Isaias knocked out my cable (and therefore wifi) for 6 days plusContinue reading “Other Recent Happenings 8/20/2020”
