The One Where Niantic Buffed Remote Raid Limit & more... May 18, 2025

Show notes

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?

This week,

We kick things off with Getting To Know You, where Milo poses a deliciously absurd challenge — if you had to build a GO Battle League team made entirely of food, and the baguette was a mandatory pick… what other two edible ‘mons make your line-up? 🍞🥦🥩

Next, we reflect on the Mega Kangaskhan Raid Day — was this rerun worth your raid passes? Then, we dive into the breaking news: Shadow Regigigas is finally here! We cover timings, bonuses, ticket content and give our unfiltered takes on this surprising release.

Milo then hosts the return of the infamous Pub Quiz, testing Ian and Mark with 6 tricky questions and a tiebreaker, before Ian, Milo & Mark announce the 5 winners of our GOFest 2025 competition! 🎉

In News Part 2, we break down everything you need to know about the upcoming GO Battle Week, including wild encounters, featured attacks, research tasks and whether this lines up with the end-of-season hype.

We also preview Machop Community Day Classic, leading into speculation for the upcoming Gigantamax Machamp Battle Day. Is this a hint of bigger things to come?

We also looks at the ‘Save The Dates’ for the next season in Pokémon GO!

We round things out with your Incensed! Poll Results and of course, the ever-iconic #ShiniesOfTheWeek!
