This week,

We kick things off with a full review of GO Bigger: Gigantamax Battle Day, sharing our thoughts on how the event played, what worked, what didn’t, and whether these giant battles are finally finding their feet.

Naturally, things get weird with another chaotic AI Arnie interlude before diving into a stacked news section.

In The News, we discuss the latest Save The Dates and what’s coming next season in Pokémon GO, before breaking down the May GO Pass. Is it just copy-and-paste content again, or do Pokécoins and a Suicune encounter make it worth your time?

We also cover the new Spring Marathon event, including Pokémon GO debut of Flittle, bonuses, eggs, Field Research, Timed Research, GO Pass rewards and Web Store bonuses.

Then it’s the headline everyone’s talking about — Mega Mewtwo X & Mega Mewtwo Y are officially debuting at Pokémon GO Fest! We discuss what this means for GO Fest 2026 and just how hyped the community should be. Plus the icing on the cake being Pokémon GO Fest Global being a FREE event for every trainer!

Ian introduces four WhatsApp voice messages from listeners, bringing even more opinions into the mix.

Next, it’s game time as Milo hosts “What The Ducklett?”, with Ian vs Mark battling in a best-of-three craptic Pokémon showdown.

Finally, we wrap up with #ShiniesOfTheWeek, celebrating the best shiny catches from the community. 🎮✨

This week,

We kick things off with a full Riolu Hatch Day Replay review — was it worth the revisit, and did Trainers get the shiny luck they were hoping for? From hatch rates to overall value, we share how it played out for us.

Next, Ask the Intern returns, as we dive into a classic Niantic mishap — the Silicobra biome mix-up that had the community talking. What went wrong, and how does this keep happening?

We continue with a Sustainability Week event review, discussing what worked, what didn’t, and whether the event brought anything fresh to the game.

It’s then game time as Ian hosts “Shiny Happy Pokémon”, with Milo vs Mark going head-to-head in a best-of-three battle for bragging rights.

In The News, we break down the May content drop, including Max Battles, Five-Star Raids, Raid Hours, Mega Raids and the return of Shadow Cresselia. But the bigger question… where are the events? We discuss whether Pokémon GO is entering a quieter phase and what that means for players.

We also feature two WhatsApp messages from listeners, plus a chaotic AI Arnie interlude.

Finally, we wrap up with Shinies of the Week, celebrating the best catches from the community. 🎮✨

This week,

We kick things off with a full Tinkatink Community Day recap, breaking down how we played, our best catches, shiny luck and whether this fan-favourite Pokémon delivered an “epic” Community Day experience.

In The News, we look ahead to May with the announcement of Lechonk Community Day. What can Trainers expect, and is this the right pick to keep momentum going?

We also check in with an update on the Road to Level 80 update. Ian and Mark share their latest progress, strategies, and how the grind is shaping up as they push toward the new level cap.

Next, it’s game time as Milo hosts a head-to-head Flex Game, with Mark vs Ian battling for bragging rights in a competitive showdown of Pokémon GO achievements.

We also take a moment for a broader discussion: how do we feel about “empty weeks” in Pokémon GO with no major events? Are they a welcome break or a missed opportunity?

Finally, we wrap up with Shinies of the Week, showcasing the best recent catches from the Incensed! community.
