Show notes

This week,

We kick things off by reviewing Sobble Community Day, sharing our best catches, shiny luck and whether this fan-favourite starter lived up to expectations. Ian then hosts another chaotic round of Chasing the Tail, where Pokémon name knowledge is put to the ultimate test.

In The News, we dive into the July GO Pass, the newly announced Pokémon GO Event Calendar, and discuss the major announcement that Niantic Games has officially become Scopely Explore. What does the rebrand mean for Pokémon GO, and should Trainers expect any real changes?

Ian also reads another entertaining Letter to the Hosts, before AI Arnie returns with his latest musical masterpiece—this time taking on Bon Jovi!

To finish, we celebrate Pokémon GO's 10th Anniversary, chatting about the special Times Square celebration, reflecting on our favourite memories from the past decade, the moments that changed the game forever, and what keeps us coming back after all these years.

As always, we wrap things up with #ShiniesOfTheWeek, showcasing the best shiny catches from the Incensed community.

The team wraps up the Super Mega Falinks Raid Day, discussing their experiences, standout catches, shiny luck (or lack thereof), and whether the event marched proudly into battle or tripped over its own formation. Expect the usual post-event analysis.

In the first news section the boys review what you can expect in the next season ‘Forever Forward’ and break down Junes offerings in Pokémon GO.

The One Where GO Fest Raids Became Too Much May 24, 2026

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

This week,

We kick things off with a full PGO Catchup, reviewing the Spring Marathon event before diving into Deino Community Day Classic. Did the return of Deino still feel special, or has the Community Day Classic format started losing its shine?

Next, we hear from the community with a batch of WhatsApp voice messages, before heading into another edition of Ask The Intern — and this week there’s plenty to discuss. From Adventure Sync issues frustrating Trainers, to the Deino Community Day Special Research page errors, and even a mysterious Varoom shiny switch-off, the team breaks down the latest Pokémon GO blunders.

Naturally, things get strange with another unforgettable AI Arnie interlude 👀

In The News, we discuss the upcoming Community Celebrations during GO Fest Global, plus all the announced GO Fest Global raids. But have this year’s raids gone too far? Are there simply too many raid bosses packed into one event? The team debates whether Pokémon GO Fest is becoming overwhelming for players.

We also cover the new Summer Quest featuring Blanche, Spark & Candela.

Finally, Mark hosts “Play Your Dex Right”, with Ian and Milo battling it out in a best-of-three Pokémon knowledge showdown before wrapping up with #ShiniesOfTheWeek ✨

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

This week,

Things begin, as always, with complete disorder thanks to another unforgettable AI Arnie Sings interlude before we jump into a packed News Part 1.

We break down the newly announced Super Mega Falinks Raid Day, including the debut of Super Mega Falinks, the updated Mega Energy system, event bonuses, Timed Research, tickets and how these new Super Mega Raids will actually work in Pokémon GO.

Next, it’s game time as Ian hosts “Name That Pokémon”, where Mark and Milo must identify Pokémon names spoken completely backwards. Yes… it’s exactly as chaotic as it sounds.

We also review Lechonk Community Day, discussing our best catches, shiny luck and whether the recent quieter “non-event” weeks actually helped the Community Day stand out — or just highlighted how empty Pokémon GO has felt lately.

Ian then leads a huge batch of WhatsApp voice messages from listeners, before the team drops an exclusive early teaser about upcoming GO Fest merchandise 👀

In News Part 2, we discuss the newly announced LEGO x Pokémon GO Fest Copenhagen collaboration, including LEGO-themed experiences around Copenhagen and special in-game content for Trainers attending GO Fest 2026.

Finally, we wrap up with everyone’s favourite segment — Shinies of the Week ✨

Show notes

This week,

We kick things off with a full recap of Shadow Entei Battle Day and the Steeled Resolve Event. Did the raids deliver? Were the shiny odds kind? And how did the event stack up compared to recent Pokémon GO weekends?

In The News, we break down the announcement of Deino Community Day Classic returning on Saturday May 16th, including why this fan-favourite pseudo-legendary still gets Trainers excited. We also discuss the rise of “Evergreen Weeks” in Pokémon GO — quieter periods with no major events running outside of research tasks. Are these slower weeks healthy for the game, or just boring?

There’s also chat about the new Target x Pokémon GO collaboration, including the exclusive in-game hoodie available through PokéCoin gift card purchases.

Ian then leads a lively batch of WhatsApp voice messages from listeners, before Mark revives The Pub Quiz, testing specialist knowledge of Milo & Ian with an easy/hard question system.

We also tackle one of the biggest talking points in the community right now — are shiny rates being levelled out across events?

And of course, we wrap things up with Shinies of the Week, showcasing the best catches from the Incensed community. ✨
