This week,

We start by recapping a big week in Pokémon GO — from the Suicune Max Battle Weekend to Pawmi Community Day and the colourful chaos of the Crown Clash Event. What delivered and what fell short?

The News section is packed with huge updates! The Remote Raid Cap has been increased, Remote Shadow Raids are on the way, and Remote Gigantamax Battles are coming soon! But is this a blessing or just another monetisation move? We dig into the pros, cons, and what it means for both casual and hardcore players.

In Getting To Know You, Ian asks the team a juicy question: with all three hosts now confirmed for both GOFest New Jersey and GOFest Paris, what are we most looking forward to? Expect some personal insights, big laughs, and exciting hints!

Mark takes the reins for this week’s Pub Quiz, testing the crew’s knowledge of Kazakhstan?!?!?!?

Then it’s time for Counter Bros, where we break down how to tackle Gigantamax Machamp — from typing and weaknesses to our top counter picks.

We finish off with your favourite segment: #ShiniesOfTheWeek — did you post your flexes?
