It’s a PVP kind of week. Niantic dropped the big news that we are getting a full blow PVP championship for Pokemon GO. We breakdown the timelines and how to get qualified. Also, Wednesday will have a cool Twitch event were participants catch and battle Pokemon in a Catch Cup. It’s got scrambling, bluffing, and PVP goodness.   Support us at our Patreon Page  Buy a Pokemon Go Raido T-Shirt   Thanks to Ben Sound for the great music.

We are back to the normal show this week. That mean monkey, Zarude has tunred up and we have some nuggests from the latest APK mine that shed some light on Niantic’s plans for subscriptions in Pokemon GO. Also, don’t forget that Duskull Community Day is this Saturday.   Support us at our Patreon Page  Buy a Pokemon Go Raido T-Shirt   Thanks to Ben Sound for the great music.

Downer show this week. Our father died this week from complications of heart failure at the age of 78. It was not surprising, but still awful.  This show is just a short tribute to him and probably some kind of therapy for me. We will be back next week with our normal show. Thank so much to everyone that has reach out with kind words.

Fashion Week is coming, and style icons that we are, we cannot wait for the new fits to be on trend. Cloths are dumb. However, new Pokemon with cool hair cuts are not! Also, we talk about the remaining Pokemon from Generation 3, 4, and 5. What is still missing and we can we get our hands on them?    GO Hub Article on Unrelased Pokemon Gen 3-5  Support us at our Patreon Page  Buy a Pokemon Go Raido T-Shirt   Thanks to Ben Sound for the great music.

We finally get to the shiny rates deep dive we have been putting off for weeks. We break down the odds, the categories, and which Shiny Rates matter. Also, Duskull was announced for October Community Day, and some people on Twitter were spooked. But is Duskull really that scary?   Silph Shiny Research  Support us at our Patreon Page  Buy a Pokemon Go Raido T-Shirt   Thanks to Ben Sound for the great music.

Was that a “good ” title? No. Probably not. But I am selflessly doing the edits again. It’s a hard life pulling your own weight. Nar is on a little vacay and I’m being a noble big brother. Still not putting those links in though. Just go back to episode 254. Would it be just as easy to go find the links as to type this long winded explanation? Yeah probably so. Man you are full of questions today one-person-on-earth-that-actually-reads-these.

We did! You did it. High-fives all around. What an amazing achievement of returning to something. This week was a ton of news, not least of which was the return to the 40 meter distance requirement to interact with stops and gyms. Normally I would list the rest of the news in breezy summary and put the links below, but I’m le tired. This is probs why Nar doesn’t let me write these anymore.

For the first time in a long time, it was a slow news week in Pokemon GO. We had a few events cooking (Eevee Community Day and Ultra Unlock Part 2), but overall it was a quite week. We are joined by Wolfie to get his input on the on-going controversy about the PokeStop distance and have some fun.    Support us at our Patreon Page  Buy a Pokemon Go Raido T-Shirt   Thanks to Ben Sound for the great music.

The ordering and theming might be strange, but sure enough, we are getting Ultra Unlock Part 3 focused on the Pokemon from the Galar region. We talk about this unexpected turn of events, discuss where are shiny beatle boi went, and comment on Niantic’s response to the continuing dissatisfaction with the 40 meter PokeStop distance.   Check out Sean’s music  Support us at our Patreon Page  Buy a Pokemon Go Raido T-Shirt   Thanks to Ben Sound for the great music.

They went and did it anyway. Niantic changed Pokestop distance back to 40 meters (down from 80) in the United States in New Zeland today as part of a test. Are they testing to see if they can come up with terrible ideas? If so, success. We talk about why this decision was made and what can be done about it now.    –   Silph Shiny Research  Support us at our Patreon Page  Buy a Pokemon Go Raido T-Shirt   Thanks to Ben Sound for the great music.
