Holes in the Pokémon HOME Update May 23, 2022

Show notes

The Pokémon HOME 2.0 Update is here! We talk about what works and what doesn't work in this update. Seems like Alpha is preserved, but Spinda is forever stuck in BD/SP. Niantic makes the Pokémon GO community upset again by removing the discount for the 3 Remote Raid Pass bundle. To compromise, Niantic added better rewards for in-person raids to encourage Trainer to go outside and not rely on Remote Raids. Finally, we see some powerful cards in the Pokémon GO TCG Expansion coming this July.
