Lane from Good Morning Johto joins us again as Adam wraps up his move!
Dynamax Battles are here and the game has officially changed! Now that we have had some time to experience the Max Out Season, Niantic is really shaking things up. We will recap our experiences with GO All Out and our super early feedback on the GO Big event.
Falinks Raid Day gave us some fun free to play and high value paid gameplay. September is absolutely packed with events and there is something to do every single weekend! Our Communities experienced Falinks very different from eachother, which shows that not every event needs to be for everyone.
Power Spots have absolutely caused a stir in the Wayfarer Community as Wayfinders react to having their finely curated gameboard covered in POI that seem to break every rule in the Wayfarer rulebook. It poses many questions like where did Power Spots come from, did they have any vetting at all, and should they follow Wayfarer criteria? The Wayfinders are charged up and with very good reason.
The Psychic Spectacular is back and will be the first, post DMax launch event to release a new DMax Pokemon. Putting aside the logistics of Power Spots, Beldum will surely be a VERY popular Pokémon to grind in Max Battles.
We wrap up with a discussion about the ongoing balancing changes to PvE. With video showing Kyogre spamming Thunder 7 times in a row, things are getting a bit wild in Raids. We will need to see how things shake out over time, because people are already feeling the resource squeeze when they need to revive 3 lobbies worth of Pokémon per Raid!

September brings an absolute boatload of new information and game mechanics as we usher in the Max Out Season. Even being a few days into the Season, plus a bunch of event blog posts, many Trainers are still scratching their heads to try and understand how everything works. With Max Battles coming very soon, we have a limited amount of time to figure out and speculate on how things will shake out. What we do know, is that a new way to play Pokémon GO is here, and we will all need to adjust and adapt.
Getting back to the news, Niantic announced a new IRL event called the Wild Area that will be coming to Japan. Corresponding to the gameplay of Sword and Shield, it is the perfect time and name for a new IRL event. Time will tell if this event will slide into the annual rotation like GO Fest and GO Tour. Interestingly enough, we also have Safari Zones and City Safari events returning, which means that Trainers all around the world will have opportunities to play in large scale IRL events.
The September Content Update brings a blend of old and new, as we see the return of Zacian, but this time with its Shiny Form available. Dynamax Pokémon will dominate the month and perhaps the Season, with Spotlights and Raid Hours rounding out the usual weekly gameplay loops.
Even with the Dynamax Mechanic being introduced, September is packed with events like Ponyta Community Day and Falinks Raid Day. Even if Trainers are hesitant to engage with the new Dynamax Mechanic, they can always fall back on some old and faithful events.

We want to start off with a HUGE thank you to everyone that tuned in for our Pokémon GO Worlds costream! Thousands of you were able to get your Costumed Pikachu and we were so excited to meet so many new Trainers. Thank you again for EVERYTHING!
To start we break down our experience with the Worlds Events and Twitch Drop Timed Research, which kept many Trainers busy all week. It was a ton of fun to watch Worlds and interact with it through Twitch and PGO gameplay. This was a huge win all around in terms of experience and immersion.
Beldum Community Day Classic was a fan favorite and brought plenty of Trainers outside. With Trainers prepping for Mega Metagross, incredible PvP and PVE gameplay, as well as the incoming Dynamax update, Metagross will be a MAJOR player on many teams.
Triumph Together is the new event this week and we see a bunch of GLobal Team Challenges which will let us know how hardcore or casual our friends list is. With various challenges rotating through each team’s theme, this is looking to be a great event with some unique gameplay.
The big news of the week is the Morpeko mechanic update and the teasing of Dynamax Pokémon. With Shared Skies coming to a close, we are all confident that next season will be all about Dynamazing and Galar, which is something we have been waiting on! It will be interesting to see how the Dynamax mechanic rolls out, but at this point all we can do is engage in some good ol’fashioned inappropriate speculation.

With Adventure Week finally coming to a close, many in the Community can take a fresh breath of vanilla spawns and move on from a super long event! We discuss how the length of Adventure Week may have overstayed its welcome! That being said, there was definitely some ups and downs in the event, with Shadow Lugia Raids being broken in the earliest timezones, resulting in a Shadow Lugia that couldn’t be defeated. Poor, poor, New Zealand.
The Worlds Event is up next and there is a ton to do, both in game an out. Trainers can earn up to 3 Timed Researches by watching Twitch Streams of the event over the weekend. We break it all down and let you know how to get the most out of the event, while supporting the stream and co-streamers at the same time! You will also be shocked to hear that Adam actually likes Scuba Pikachu!
Beldum Community Day is this weekend and you should play. Enough said.
For the Raiders this week we put together a little Raid Guide and Battle Party for Mega Kangaskhan. This is an important Raid Boss not only because it is a cool Mega, but because it is a regional! You will not want to miss out on this one as it only comes around every so often! You only need one other Trainer (with leveled counters) to take it out, so use up those Daily free passes!
Finally we revisit Wayfarer Abuse, and how there has been a string of new screenshots showing absolutely out of control POI clusters. We discuss how this happens and how damaging it is to the map and gameboard. The Community feedback was mixed, with some thinking the clusters are a wonderland, while others think it just isn’t fun at all. Let’s keep the conversation going on Twitter this week!

If battling Team GO Rocket is your thing then you have been lucky all week. With Adventure Week being Taken Over by Team GO Rocket, this week was packed with new Shadows and the chase for Giovanni and his Shadow Cresselia. The big news of the week however, warns you not to do too many Team GO Rocket encounters as it could get you banned. We dive in headfirst and talk about how this ban is not too difficult to trigger if you are spending a day grinding the event.
Mega Rayquaza came back in non-Elite Raids and it ended up being a successful day of gaming for many. With a Raid Hour format and Elite Raid style scheduling, it turned out to be an all new type of Raid Event. Time will tell if this will become the new normal, but it definitely felt great to have some scheduled and dedicated Raid windows.
Beldum Community Day Classic has been announced and this Pokémon will absolutely bring Trainers out to play. With Mega Metagross on the horizon, plus excellent use in PvP and PvE, this is a chance for different disciplines of Trainers to come together for a Community Day experience.
We wrap up with a conversation about some typos in Niantic Tweets, which when corrected, become easy bait for the Twitter mob to gobble up. Over the last few weeks we have seen a ton of activity come from from Niantic Support, retracting and clarifying many bits of communication along with explaining gameplay issues. Sometimes, it would be better to NOT hear from Niantic.

With Mega Lucario Raid Day behind us, the Ultra Unlocks and GO Fest Season is officially behind us. We had an exceptionally busy June and July leading up to the big events, but now August looks to be a time that we can all breathe and chill out a bit. We start off the episode sharing our experiences with both Strength of Steel and Mega Lucario, as our luck was drastically different from one another.
We discussed last week how Adventure Week looked kind of weak, but that was before we had the announcement for the Team GO Rocket takeover that was coming along for the ride. Shadow Cresselia makes its debut and Shadow Lugia returns along with a slew of new Shadow Pokémon and the ability to TM away Frustration. Between Lucario and a ton of Shadows, both Battlers and Raiders will have plenty to work through.
The big news of the week however is Niantic flipping on how they are handling the Mega Rayquaza make good event. With an announcement that no Trainer saw coming, Niantic has dropped the Elite Raid format and have moved to a Raid Hour format, allowing up to 20 remote Raids on the day. PLENTY to unpack here, so strap in and get good!

August content may have been announced to minimal fanfare, but July is closing out strong with the remaining Ultra Unlock events! Strength of Steel has us chasing down Togedamaru as we prep to Raid our fannies off for Mega Lucario. August looks to be the calm after the storm as we see a lot of repeat Pokémon returning to raids and an Adventure Week that seems a bit lighter than usual.
Safari Zones have been announced in Indonesia and South Korea, which makes us all want to be world travelers to take part. With both a City Safari and a Safari Zone being announced, it will be interesting to see how the Safari branded events return to the states. With Philadelphia being such an incredible memory, we can only hope that we see another US city get the Safari treatment soon.
As we work through August we see that Popplio Community Day and Adventure Week have been detailed so far, however it appears that August may be the time to take a breather and back off the grind a bit. Time will tell to see if the month ends up performing better IRL than it does on paper.
FInally we peak into some issues that the game is been having by jumping over to the Niantic Support Twitter account. When digging a bit further we see that the Known Issues page is no more, and the Twitter account becoming more active. Could this be the new normal? While a very outdated GBL Known Issues page still exists, 2023 World Champ AXN filmed a very pointed video, asking for Niantic to work on GBL ahead of Worlds next month. While we thought things had improved, AXN shared a Tweek during our livestream that tells a different story.

GO Fest Season is officially a wrap and the Ultra Unlocks are the big payoff. We start by recapping our GO Fest: Global experiences and how coming right out of NYC has been a bit much on our bodies and wallets. Those that were at GO Fest: NYC the previous week are most likely still sunburned and sore.Our eyes however must stay looking forward as there is another full slate of content coming to Pokémon GO.
The stage is set for the 3 Ultra Unlocks, and they couldn’t be more diverse.The first unlock brings us a new Pokémon line, the second unlock brings us a new Shiny, and the third unlock brings us a new Mega. Let the hype train begin!
Mega Rayquaza’s make good event has been scheduled and it comes with minimal fanfare.The reaction to the event is mixed, with online communities still pushing for the removal of the mechanic altogether, while IRL communities are already planning their next meetup.

This is a very special episode of the Lured Up Podcast! Recorded at our Community’s Air BnB in Harlem, NY, we were surrounded by some of our closest friends. It is incredible that this game has created a network of friends that we will carry for the rest of our lives! Huge shout out to our entire Community, especially those that made it to NYC.
We share our hot takes on the event and speculate on the future. Saying that we were exhausted was an understatement!

Another news bomb went off this week as Trainers prep for GO Fest: NYC. We have our July Content Update as well as a few events worth of details to run through, which means this episode is rapid fire with news and updates. We begin with a recap of Scorching Steps and how no matter how you shake it, egg events are not something that many Trainers look forward to. Even with Shiny Larvesta hatching out of 2, 5, and 10km eggs, the sparkles were dry for many.
Our July Content Update is heavily weighted on GO Fest happenings, including GO Fest: Global and a three part Ultra Unlock. We run through everything we know so far this month on other events, including Aquatic Paradise and the return of Ultra Beasts. Niantic is keeping their foot on the gas without letting up for GO Fest, as we have a ton of events happening before and after NYC. Not sure we want a break in the action, but if we did, Niantic isn’t giving it to us.
Niantic is partnering with Play! Pokémon to launch in person PVP at local game stores. Starting July 1st, we will be able to see events on the Campfire map, continuing with the hopes of bridging the gap between Play! Pokémon and Niantic. Here’s to hoping that local game stores embrace PGO and promote events along with the TCG and other non-Pokémon franchises.
Finally we talk GO Fest and our New York State of Grind 2 happening on Saturday afternoon. We will be at the Notable Trainer Meet & Greet each day from 10am-12pm, and hope you can join us at 1pm on Saturday as we trek from Randall’s Island to Nintendo NYC! Only the strong will make it to the end! Do you have what it takes?

June is definitely not the calm before the GO Fest storm as we have had non stop events like Spelunker’s Cove and Scorching Steps. We take a look at what makes these events tick and how we can tell the difference between a filler event and an event that actually has substance. The 8th Anniversary Event looks to be a much needed step in the right direction, bringing a comprehensive lineup of bonuses and features. One thing that has been missing from our game screens lately, is new Pokémon in the wild.
Mega Rayquaza is coming back at the end of the month and the Community is still salty about Elite Raids. While the majority on social are clambering against the Elite Raid decision, in-person communities are already planning to have an amazing day of Raiding with their Communities. The differences between actual IRL Communities and those that virtue signal for them on Twitter is more clear than ever. While Elite Raids are far from being universally loved, it still asks the question of how do you make this game difficult and how can you keep things exclusive?
Michael Steranka sat with Tom Phillips of Eurogamer and discussed some of the most relevant topics in the Community zeitgeist. While it was refreshing to hear questions being asked that matter to the Community, Steranka did often play the PR card and didn’t divulge much, leading to an overall feeling of, “We are working on it”, as a response to every question that was asked. Niantic has asked us to have faith in the process before, but this time the Community is more demanding than ever.
Finally we wrap things up with a Raid Guide and Battle Party for Mega Rayquaza! Ice is all you need to worry about here and it will make sense to support that with a Mega of your own. We look to both GO Hub and Pokébattler for tips on what to bring.

This month is moving fast and we have a ton of events to get through before GO Fest NYC. This week brought us Slumbering Sands and Goomy Community Day, but then landed us directly into Spelunker’s Cove.The second half of the month will also be busy with Scorching Steps and Cyndaquil Community Day Classic. It would be impossible to forget about Mega Rayquaza coming to Elite Raids, which will close things out for June with a bang.
The Wayfarer Community has taken the front row on social media this week as a Trainer’s posting of their suspension. In typical fashion, some Trainers on Twitter rushed to their support, looking for a small opportunity for them to champion for the Trainer they think was incorrectly suspended as well as being able to bad mouth Niantic. While all the mud was flying on social, the Trainer in question posted screenshots with Niantic Aaron, which inadvertently proved that the OP was suspended with proper reasoning. Right about then was when some of the loudest Trainers on Twitter fell silent.
Finally we are excited to announce that we will once again be a part of the Niantic Notable Trainer Meet and Greet at GO Fest: NYC! Check out LuredUp.com for details on our GO Fest plans, including the return of the NY State of Grind!

We are back in the saddle and ready to ride! We are excited to be back to our weekly schedule and pumping out podcasts! Thanks to everyone for baring with us as Ken finished his move!
The motherload of info dropped this past week with Shared Skies being announced as the 15th Season of Pokémon GO. We have plenty to dig through as we have our June content update as well as details on the first few events of the season. We begin with a recap of the first event of the month, Stadium Sights. While we enjoyed this event, we weren’t able to capture a Shiny Emolga. Add another chase to our running list.
Save the dates have been released for this season’s Community Days, and we have Goomy and Cyndaquil on the schedule for June. While May saw a ton of XP events, it looks like June will be all about the Stardust. This month will absolutely keep us busy as we ramp up to GO Fest. Make sure you stay tuned for our GO Fest announcements coming soon!
Up next on the calendar is Slumbering Sands, which brings us new costume Pokémon and a new Shiny! Timed Research will be delivered thanks to the GO Plus+ which is reminiscent of the Sleeping Snorlax event from a year ago. We also have a $2 Timed Research, which we both agree is a fair price when you factor in the gameplay experience, items, and rewards.
Looking ahead we have Scorching Steps, which while an Egg Event, seems to be making it a bit easier to deal with. There are a spread of chase Pokémon available during this event, including Shiny Larvesta which will show up in 2km, 5km, and 10km eggs, as well as Turtanator, which can be chased via Field Research. All in all, we are pretty hyped for this event, and think it will be a nice lead in to the return of Mega Rayquaza.
There were a few tidbits of miscellaneous news to cover including winning a personalized PokéStop at GO Fest: Madrid, the GBL Season update, and Trainer losing their account to a hacker. We knew comparisons would be made to FleeceKing and the Community won’t let us forget.
Mega Rayquaza is the big topic of the week as we discuss the ups and downs that come with an Elite Raid release. We are split on this one, but the Community is nearly in agreement that they are not in favor of M. Ray coming back as an Elite Raid Boss. Make sure you jump over to our Twitter and join the conversation. We would love to hear what you think about this situation!

As we approach the final weeks of The Season of Wonder, we discuss the overall flow and cohesion of the Season. Most notably, the Rediscover Campaign has reached its finale with the release of the improved AR experience. All of the new releases that we have seen this season are still sitting in the shadow of GO Fest, which won’t even happen until next Season.
Rivals week brought us a divers encounter pool and some motivation to knock out some GBL sets. It’s always nice to when GBL events roll around because it really brings the best and worst of the community out, and it is always entertaining.
Flock Together Research Day brings a nice pool of Flying Type Pokémon and the inevitable Shiny Hunt. This event looks to be a promising update to the now recurring Research Day. Catching Wonders is up next after a small stretch of vanilla spawns. The announcement of Bounsweet and Spanish language support round out our new of the week.
We wrap things up with a discussion about the new PokéCoin Paid Research that brings back a poor return along with a terrible condition… that you must have 3 or less Field Research in your stack when the day turns over. Oooh weee we cant wait to see this in action.

When the Rediscover GO trailer dropped the Community was hyped and social was filled with speculation and hope of how the game would be updated. The Rediscover Yourself campaign was first up, and we are sad to say that it was one of Niantic’s biggest misses to date. This isn’t poor servers or a latency filled experience, but rather a slew of unpopular decisions that Niantic has made to advance their new Avatar update. We will take a dive down the Community rabbit hole at the end of the episode.
We start things off with a recap of our Bellsprout Community Day experiences, and how triple Stardust is always a popular bonus. Our first gameplay story of the week is about how Sustainability Week has changed over the years, and unfortunately not for the better. We look back to 2021 when the event actually had a real world component to it by partnering with non profits to promote cleaning up the environment. Each year since then the event has lost some of its magic, culminating in this year’s event, which seems to be falling flat. Being overshadowed by the Rediscover Kanto spawns didn’t help things either.
Cleffa Hatch Day will be rounding out the month taking place during the final weekend of April. The big story of the week takes us back to the Community reaction to the Rediscover Yourself update. From missing genders, to clipping assets, to a very strange art style, there isn’t much if anything that is getting high praises this week. While inclusivity may have been the goal of this update, it may have backfired.
We look to a pair of articles from GO Hub that cut to the chase and identify many of the issues that the Community has with the update. The site also touches on the sensitive nature and purpose of the update outside of simply an avatar graphical update. The backlash online has been significant, and Niantic has been getting dragged on this one, with a lot of toxic energy fueling some pretty negative stuff. To be plain, this week has been a disaster.
We want to be clear that we really believed in this update, and see the importance of greater options when it comes to character creation. We also identify however, that the execution of the update completely replacing the existing Avatar aesthetic rather than simply being in addition to it, has us all scratching our heads as to why this Niantic handled it like this. There are other important things to discuss as well regarding the sale of digital goods and how purchased items may not look or fit the avatar in the same way that originally influenced the purchase. There is a lot to unpack here.

This was a massive week for both events and announcements! We begin today’s episode with a recap of our last week of gameplay including Sizable Surprises and Bagon Community Day. Wh will have a few days of vanilla spawns before we hit the Bug Out and the debut of Mega Heracross. We will get you prepped and ready to get through the first half of April. Niantic struggled with the timing of the announcement, but Bellsprout will be the April’s Community Day Pokémon. While maybe not every Trainer’s favorite pick, the fact that Victreebel will learn Magical Leaf is pretty fitting for the 4/20 event date.
We open a discussion about the level cap and how it has been nearly 4 years since the GO Beyond update. It surely seems as if Niantic has been throwing a lot of XP our way, which may mean a level cap increase is imminent. We riff on if an increase is due, and the impact it could have on both new and veteran Trainers.
After being teased during the Ultra Beast Incursion in Los Angeles back in 2022, Necrozma has been announced to debut at Pokémon GO Fest 2024. While it may create more questions than it answers, this announcement is pretty exciting and just gave us something to set our Raiding sights on in NYC.
We close things out with a Mega Heracross Raid Guide and Battle Party. With Mega Heracross getting a Raid Day and entering the Mega Raid rotation, you are going to want to get a few hundred Mega Energy to place a few Heracross into your Mega Rotation. Being double weak to flying, it is time to bring out those Mega Rayquaza that you worked so hard for last year!

Trainers saw Team GO Rocket Take Over their games last week and we will recap how we did during the event! With Sizeable Surprises on the horizon, April is shaping up to be another packed month of events. We also have Part 2 of the Wonder Ticket to work through, which has proven to offer some great value in the grand scheme of things.
April Fools brought us an Excellent Opportunity to get frustrated over TImed Research, with a very divisive task to work through. Is making 25 nice throws in a row too hard? Probably not, however it was frustrating to fail and be forced to start over. Let us know how you felt about this task and if you want to see more like it!
Changes to AR have been pushed through and the Community suddenly cares about AR. We digress, but it is definitely a hot topic as Buddy interactions are a bit less engaging with being forced to use AR+ is a bit cumbersome. We can only hope that a new rollout of AR features will be coming and make sense as to why this change has happened in the first place.
We wrap things up with a Raid Guide and Battle Party for the Ultra Beast dui of Kartana and Celesteela. This pair is easy to Raid together as you can use a single party for both bosses. We put together our lists and will make quick work of these Ultra Beasts in the coming week.

We had plenty happening on and off the screen this week! We have plenty to unpack and plenty to compare opinions over! We begin with a recap of Weather Week and our current feelings on Verdant Wonders. Is Zarude the new Galarian Mr. Mime? With a $7.99 Ticket and a boring task progression, Zarude may take the cake as the most overpriced ticket when you combine it with the Wonder Ticket and other one offs that are constantly being hurled our way.
The April Content Update is here and there is plenty to dig into. Next month will bring us a new Mega, first time Shiny Legendaries, and a spattering of events to keep every type of Trainer engaged. How happy they will be is a different story, as Some Trainers are starting to feel the burn of the same old, same old for the last 7 years.
As we peek into our early April Events like Sizeable Surprises and Bagon Community Day Classic, we can both agree that the month will be starting off strong. With Bagon having the ability to help new Trainers hit their Dragon-Type medal and end-game Trainers hunt for the perfect Mega ready Salamence.
After touching on a few International tidbits of news, we dig into the big topic of the week. PGO Twitter’s Super-Villian, MasterWarlord01 has struck again. We look back on the FleeceKing situation and how it created a lot more concerns than just those regarding security. With many Trainer’s feeling like chopped liver about Fleece’s special treatment, we try to look at it objectively, to validate their feelings, but counterpoint for Niantic. With MasterWarlord01 striking again, it is a mystery as to what will happen and if Niantic will make a statement.
