🏆🏆🏆IT’S BEELZEBOY, YOUR 2025 WORLD CHAMPION🏆🏆🏆

First time Emerald!!! 🥳 Aurelion Sol APC too good 🐉

Episode 263 The crew recap their GO Fest experiences, Mega Raichu comes to raids this weekend, Professor Willow celebrates his birthday soon, Worlds 2027 features 3 vs 3 format for the first time ever, and was the 10th anniversary event tone deaf...? 🔴 youtu.be/BQxsPR7cn9g

While watching @CalebPeng’s video on “Fundos” in Pokémon GO (15/15/14 IV Pokémon with stats identical to a hundo) I realized how long it took him using PvPoke to figure out if a given Pokémon would be a fundo or not. So, I created a page to do that faster: nightfreeze.itch.io/isitafundo

@CachtonFR Congratulations! ❤️

A wild Trainer appeared! ✨ Generation 2 has officially joined the party and spoiler alert, she is already playing better than her father

I often get asked if any sub-optimal IV spreads are worth powering up for Master League. Here's a detailed explaination before you spend a ton of dust and XL candies: Video below 👇

@InfamousMash All excellent questions

@CalebPeng how does this aline with main series pokemon or any part of GBL. I think we are missing the mark here and getting further from in-game battling system. how does someone prepare for this if you arent ingrained in the grassroots system.

Just imagine a world where for next year Worlds, the LAIC, EUIC, and NAIC squad up as a team of 3 and then win Worlds together…

@allicoh As a former multi party hat owner, I support all RS gamers

happy runescape POH update to all who celebrate 🎉

@doobsnax @DaoTCG

There we go. Confirmed, #PokemonUNITE no longer a part of the World Championships. Can’t wait to crown our 5th and final champion. It’ll be a show to remember. Love you all.

TEAM FORMAT FOR WORLDS 2027?????

I invited every @playpokemon GO Caster from the 2026 Season to compete in an ultimate Clash of the Casters!!👀🔥 With all of the Casters competing though... who could we get to cast but four World Champions??🏆 🗓️Saturday 25th 🕑2pm ET / 6pm UTC 💰$100 USD

That’s fair. I can’t speak on raid utility but I used my silver bottle cap on Eternatus and I can say confidently that it’s pretty useless in the ML meta right now 😂. Marshadow is probably a bit better for that but Eternatus at least has the added Dynamax utility and might be better in a future ML meta

@CalebPeng Super fair, GL zygarde complete would be bonkers Funny, I was thinking the opposite - another Marshadow (shiny or not) sooner than later. Eternatus seems so cracked in raids and dynamax that it would be worth it, plus I already raided all those Eternatus haha so have the XLs

Alright chat, what do I Gold Bottle Cap? Some options below. I’ve already bottle capped shiny Meloetta and shiny Latias. My Mew and Keldeo are maxed and Zeraora is good enough (14 attack) Looking for something relatively future-proofed Any thoughts?

We really don’t shame politicians enough for using platitudes to fill out the word count.

Oh yeah you’re chillin haha. Personally, I’m holding onto my Zygarde for when they hopefully have trades out so you can mirror for the only chance of a Zygarde complete for great league. Utility wise, Marshadow is probably the best but Eternatus is a decent second place contender. There just might be more chances of Eternatus later on.

@CalebPeng Doing ok on Keldeo I think. I’ll max and silver BC the shiny eventually

Vice City Brewmasters and Elegy Mirage are neck and neck at 3-3 each with playoffs just around the corner! Will VCB carefully concoct a creative comp to cinch the championship? Or will the idea of beating ELM fade away before their eyes? See tonight at 5 PM PST / 8 PM EST!

I get you but I think realistically, none of this will happen, which is why I hope they at least learn from this experience for their next big anniversary event. I’d love to be wrong but I guess we’ll find out in a few days. I don’t think anything I’m saying is tone deaf though, just realistic.

@CalebPeng I honestly think if they gave everyone a shundo Mewtwo, people would accept it and move on. I think that's the root issue (it being 100% way more) imho. The NYT background I get keeping exclusive, but the other is very doable. 2/2

As someone who watched the event from home, I totally get all the posts of people who went and had the time of their lives. They got to get probably one of the most exclusive Pokémon to have ever existed in the game with a special New York background and guaranteed 100% stats. They got to be a part of a really special moment that has been culminated since one of the first ever trailers for this game teasing a moment similar to this in Times Square back in 2016. This moment was 10 years in the making and after what I’d presume a lot of planning, hard work, and money, Scopely made it happen. AND… I get why people are upset this occurred. All the time, resources, and planning that went to ensure this event would be memorable and amazing for players who got to attend was also put on display for the 99.9999% of other players to watch with absolutely no way to experience it themselves and no way of even acquiring this exclusive Mewtwo outside of trades, which will also be incredibly hard to come by. I’ve seen people compare this to the Eternatus release at Worlds 2025 but this isn’t an early release that others can still get globally later. This is a guaranteed 100% Mewtwo with a background that highlights the iconic 2016 trailer that will not be distributed globally. And for an event that thanks “every Trainer who has been part of this [10 year] journey,” was only awarding a select amount of players with this coveted 10 year anniversary encounter and in person experience the thanks players expected and wanted after all the hype around it? Most players would probably say no. Either way, what’s done is done. I think it’s ridiculous that anyone going to/invited to the event should get hate for it. To my knowledge, they didn’t even know what was in store for them and they’re allowed to be excited about a perfect Mewtwo with the New York background. Who wouldn’t be? I also think it’s ridiculous that others can’t empathize with those who are frustrated with the event and the exclusivity of it. Countless players have spent large portions of their lives and a lot of money on this game for multiple years to a decade. And at the pinnacle of the 10 years, they get to watch a secret and exclusive event through their monitors like a kid outside of a candy store, a candy store that they’ll never be able to enter. I get it. Anyway, there’s a lot of hate and anger this world already. Let’s not direct hate back and forth towards players who got to attend and players who are frustrated with the event happening. I’m sure Scopely staff are fully aware of the feedback and reception, and hopefully the 20th anniversary is much more inclusive so that in some way, shape, and form, all of us get a chance to enter the candy store. ❤️

@CrimsonSooners I mean, what else could we do? Force them to give us all 100% Times Square background Mewtwo? Don’t get me wrong, I’d love that but the odds of that are slim to none.

@CalebPeng When has Niantic/Scopley actually listened to their community, when it doesnt affect their immediate wallets? The event is kind of the epitome of who the company is. Saying 'lets wait to see what they have at the 20th' really does downplay Nia/Scopes swing and a miss.

@CrimsonSooners How so?

@CalebPeng My guy, some of what you say is fine but some of it is extremely tone deaf.
