Lured Up is a weekly podcast dedicated to the game, culture, and community surrounding Pokémon GO.  Hosts Ken and Adam offer insight from multiple perspectives in an uncensored format.  Lured Up covers topics that are relevant to both casual gamers and hardcore Trainers, while providing a heaping dose of entertainment as well.

   Lured Up Podcast 304 Streamed Live - 4/9/24 Audio/VoD - 4/13/24  This was a massive week for both events and announcements! We begin today’s episode with a recap of our last week of gameplay including Sizable Surprises and Bagon Community Day. Wh will have a few days of vanilla spawns before we hit the Bug Out and the debut of Mega Heracross. We will get you prepped and ready to get through the first half of April. Niantic struggled with the timing of the announcement, but Bellsprout will be the April’s Community Day Pokémon. While maybe not every Trainer’s favorite pick, the fact that Victreebel will learn Magical Leaf is pretty fitting for the 4/20 event date.  We open a discussion about the level cap and how it has been nearly 4 years since the GO Beyond update. It surely seems as if Niantic has been throwing a lot of XP our way, which may mean a level cap increase is imminent. We riff on if an increase is due, and the impact it could have on both new and veteran Trainers.  After being teased during the Ultra Beast Incursion in Los Angeles back in 2022, Necrozma has been announced to debut at Pokémon GO Fest 2024. While it may create more questions than it answers, this announcement is pretty exciting and just gave us something to set our Raiding sights on in NYC.  We close things out with a Mega Heracross Raid Guide and Battle Party. With Mega Heracross getting a Raid Day and entering the Mega Raid rotation, you are going to want to get a few hundred Mega Energy to place a few Heracross into your Mega Rotation. Being double weak to flying, it is time to bring out those Mega Rayquaza that you worked so hard for last year!

304. Size Matters

Lured Up Podcast 303 Streamed Live - 4/2/2024 Published - 4/6/2024    Trainers saw Team GO Rocket Take Over their games last week and we will recap how we did during the event! With Sizeable Surprises on the horizon, April is shaping up to be another packed month of events. We also have Part 2 of the Wonder Ticket to work through, which has proven to offer some great value in the grand scheme of things.    April Fools brought us an Excellent Opportunity to get frustrated over TImed Research, with a very divisive task to work through. Is making 25 nice throws in a row too hard? Probably not, however it was frustrating to fail and be forced to start over. Let us know how you felt about this task and if you want to see more like it!   Changes to AR have been pushed through and the Community suddenly cares about AR. We digress, but it is definitely a hot topic as Buddy interactions are a bit less engaging with being forced to use AR+ is a bit cumbersome. We can only hope that a new rollout of AR features will be coming and make sense as to why this change has happened in the first place.   We wrap things up with a Raid Guide and Battle Party for the Ultra Beast dui of Kartana and Celesteela. This pair is easy to Raid together as you can use a single party for both bosses. We put together our lists and will make quick work of these Ultra Beasts in the coming week.

303. Boss's Orders

Lured Up Podcast 302 Video Streamed Live - 3/27/2024 Audio Podcast Published - 3/29/2024   We had plenty happening on and off the screen this week! We have plenty to unpack and plenty to compare opinions over! We begin with a recap of Weather Week and our current feelings on Verdant Wonders. Is Zarude the new Galarian Mr. Mime? With a $7.99 Ticket and a boring task progression, Zarude may take the cake as the most overpriced ticket when you combine it with the Wonder Ticket and other one offs that are constantly being hurled our way.   The April Content Update is here and there is plenty to dig into. Next month will bring us a new Mega, first time Shiny Legendaries, and a spattering of events to keep every type of Trainer engaged. How happy they will be is a different story, as Some Trainers are starting to feel the burn of the same old, same old for the last 7 years.   As we peek into our early April Events like Sizeable Surprises and Bagon Community Day Classic, we can both agree that the month will be starting off strong. With Bagon having the ability to help new Trainers hit their Dragon-Type medal and end-game Trainers hunt for the perfect Mega ready Salamence.   After touching on a few International tidbits of news, we dig into the big topic of the week. PGO Twitter’s Super-Villian, MasterWarlord01 has struck again. We look back on the FleeceKing situation and how it created a lot more concerns than just those regarding security. With many Trainer’s feeling like chopped liver about Fleece’s special treatment, we try to look at it objectively, to validate their feelings, but counterpoint for Niantic. With MasterWarlord01 striking again, it is a mystery as to what will happen and if Niantic will make a statement.   Verdant Wonders - https://bit.ly/LU302VerdantWonders Taken Over - https://bit.ly/LU302TakenOver Poor APAC - https://bit.ly/LU302ZoeAPAC  April Content Update - https://bit.ly/LU302April  Bagon CDC - https://bit.ly/LU302BagonCDC Sizeable Surprises - https://bit.ly/LU302Sizeable Ph.

301. Weather Report

Lured Up Podcast 300 Record Date - 3/5/2024 Publish Date - 3/10/2024   We are back after a brief hiatus! Thank you for your patience!   There is plenty to catch up on including our GO Tour gameplay, Research Day, and thoughts on the Horizon event. Niantic definitely has no interest in slowing things down post GO Tour as March is looking strong and packed with  events. While we work through the Horizons tie-in event, we can prep for Weather Week and the return of the Primals. Plenty to be excited for and lots of decisions to make regarding how to approach prepping for the things.   The Wonder Ticket has been causing quite a stir as Niantic is continuing to test out different monetization styles as we shift to a ticket based gameplay pattern. While we aren’t talking big bucks, there seems to be a shift in what we are spending our money on, even if we are still spending the same amount. The question is whether or not the consumables that can be earned through ticketed events can provide the same results as spending for them a la carte.   Pikachu PH. D has been released through earning a Platinum Showcase Medal, which is a nice nod to rural Trainers. With city Showcases being exceptionally competitive and potentially filled with unwanted visitors, the rural Trainer finally has the edge with this one. We wrap things up with a discussion about some international IRL events happening on the other side of the globe!   Charged Up Research Day - https://bit.ly/LU300ChargedUp  Horizons - https://bit.ly/LU300Horizons  Horizons Trailer - https://bit.ly/LU300Trailer GO Tour Global - https://bit.ly/LU300Global March Content Update - https://bit.ly/LU300March Weather Week - https://bit.ly/LU300Weather  Primal Return - https://bit.ly/LU300Primals  Wonder Ticket - https://bit.ly/LU300WonderTicket  World Of Wonders - https://bit.ly/LU300WoW  Pikachu Ph.D - https://bit.ly/LU300PhD  Bali Air Adventures - https://bit.ly/LU300BaliAir  JT Valor at Bali Air Adventures - https://bit.ly/LU300Bali  City Safari: Tainan - https://bit.ly/LU300CitySafari    LuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com     Voicemail and SMS: 732-835-8639    Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!   Support the show by bookmarking and shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    Connect with us on multiple platforms! https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork    Hosts Ken Pescatore Adam Tuttle   Writer and Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer  Paul Bhatt   Show music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons   ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾  http://instagram.com/GameChops  http://twitter.com/GameChops  http://soundcloud.com/GameChops  http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops  http://www.gamechops.com   Intro Music Lake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix)  Tetracase GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  https://soundcloud.com/tetracase   https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0   Break Music National Park Mikel & GameChops GameChops - Poké & Chill http://smarturl.it/pokechill  https://twitter.com/mikel_beats   Outro Music Vast Poni Canyon CG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix) GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/   http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beats  https://soundcloud.com/glitchxcity   Pokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2024 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.
