Love is in the air during the Valentine’s Day Event! We start by recapping the last week of gameplay and how Oricorio Catch Mastery overlapped with the Carnival of Flamigo. This type of double event format gave Trainers flexibility over the day to play when they could, without creating FOMO. Let’s hope that this is something they do again in the coming seasons.
Valentine’s Day weekend brings us Raids and Gigantamax Battles as we take on Therian Enamorus and GMAX Meowth. Taking a look at GO Hub and Pokebattler, we put together some parties to take them on, with some usual suspects and some unique Pokémon making appearances. Between event tickets and consumables, this will likely be an expensive weekend for the hardcore.
We had an update that no one asked for, but many are happy is here, with GO Snapshot getting a significant update. Partnering with Pokémon’s 30th Anniversary campaign, “What’s Your Favorite” looks to create some social buzz by having Trainers share pictures of themselves with their favorite Pokémon. The interface is easy to navigate and the features are pretty cool so we recommend giving it a try!
Niantic will be hosting Community Celebrations across the globe including in Washington D.C.! Ken will be attending so if you plan on being there, send us a message! He will be giving out codes and stickers throughout the event!
Our final discussion is a recap of some critically important settings and features that you may not even know about! Did you know that there are two different ways that the game measures walking distance? Do you know if you are running at 30Hz or 120Hz refresh rate? We hope you can find something to take away from our discussion and start using today!
