This week,

We kick things off with the return (for 1 week only) of Casual Coops to the showing jump straight into The News, diving into the brand-new Pokémon Concierge Celebration event — what’s fun, what’s frustrating, and how it ties in with the Netflix series. Then, it’s onto Mega Sharpedo Raid Day, a lightning-quick breakdown of the good, the bad, and why it feels oddly placed after Mega Gyarados. (Is Mega Sharpedo Ian's favourite Mega yet!)

Milo hosts Chasing the Tail, the game where quick thinking is key, before we dive deep into the Max Finale discussion. Warts and all, we share our unfiltered experiences, the highs, the lows, and how the wider Pokémon GO community reacted to Niantic’s biggest global event of 2025 which fell flat!

In The News Pt. 2, we cover the huge announcement of Level 80 changes and the upcoming XP Celebration Event. What does this mean for trainers who’ve been grinding since day one, and what will your legacy be?

Finally, we preview the new season, Tales of Transformation, centred around Keldeo, form changes, Mega Metagross, and Gigantamax Eevee, with hints at how Legends ZA Megas may reshape gameplay. 

Masterful 27 checks in from his European cruise with updates throughout the show whilst of course, we wrap things up with Shinies of the Week — community flexes that always bring the sparkle!
