155. Three Pokémon, One Cup

Lured Up Podcast 155 Record Date 11/11/2020 Publish Date 11/13/2020   As we wrap up Animation Week, we recap our recent gameplay including the Special Weekends, Jigglypuff Spotlight Hour as well as Lugia in Raids. While the encounter pool wasn’t the strongest and the non Legendary Raid pool was weak, we still had a great time being on the shiny hunt. Goh in photobombs was also a very welcomed surprise in GO Snapshot.   GBL Season 5 is underway and the Little Cup has won the hearts of many Trainers! While the meta doesn’t have much time to develop, there are some usual suspects that have made their way onto many teams that you will face this week. We also revisit the upcoming Kanto and Catch Cups, giving some updated community feedback from this week.   Australia and New Zealand are getting an XP Rebalance which greatly increases the amount of XP you can earn from most everyday tasks. It will be interesting to see if this sticks around or spreads to other areas of the world! Either way, we are ready for the Level Cap increase!   The City Spotlight event has been announced which brings up some health concerns even though the events were developed in conjunction with the cities to ensure all health and safety measures are followed. With only 4 cities across the world taking part, I think we will see limited feedback from this event.   Finally, Pokémon HOME Integration is here and we share our hot takes on the Transporter and the Energy economy. We think that most PGO Trainers will be just fine keeping their HOME account in the free tier, while still taking advantage of catching all the available Meltan!   Animation Week - https://bit.ly/LU155Animation Special Weekends - https://bit.ly/LU155SpecialWeekend GBL Season 5 - https://bit.ly/LU155GBL XP Rebalance - https://bit.ly/LU155XPRebalance Silph XP Rebalance Data - https://bit.ly/LU155SilphXP  Wayfarer 3.1 - https://bit.ly/LU155Wayfarer  City Spotlight - https://bit.ly/LU155CitySpotlight Pokémon HOME - https://bit.ly/LU155HOME   Support the show by shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    Pokémon Professor Network Merch Store - https://bit.ly/PPNMerchStore  Secret League Pin - http://bit.ly/SecretLeaguePin  Google Calendar - https://bit.ly/LuredUpGoogleCalendar  Willow’s Almanac - https://bit.ly/LU127WillowsAlmanac    [email protected]    Inappropriate Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639  http://pokemonprofessor.com  https://www.luredup.com http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetPatreon  http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetFacebook  http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetTwitter  http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetYouTube  http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetInstagram  http://bit.ly/LuredUpTumblr  http://bit.ly/LuredUpApplePodcasts   http://bit.ly/LuredUpSpotify  http://bit.ly/LuredUpStitcher  http://bit.ly/LuredUpGooglePodcasts  http://bit.ly/LuredUpIHeartRadio  https://bit.ly/LUPodchaser    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 1996-2020Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.Lured Up and Pokémon Professor are not affiliated with Niantic Inc., The Pokémon Company, Game Freak or Nintendo.   #pokemon #pokemongo #podcast
