good morning lovelies Zoë Two Dots here
with some more Pokémon GO goodness for
you and today we're going to be mucking
around with a few little mega raids
talking the new feature
my thoughts and feelings on it and then
just maybe
mega evolving something i'm kind of
still undecided on how i'm going to be
doing and
what i'm doing with this new feature so
first things first i guess just to say
uh if you're having issues seeing the
actual
mega sprites in game i was having issue
like not even able to see
the mega forms uh i'm currently using
the um like download of the app through
the samsung galaxy store
if i'm using the download of the app
through the google play store i can't
see the megas i don't know if that's a
phone version specific thing
an app store specific thing like what it
is
that is affecting that uh but the only
reason i can see this price right now is
because of
the the models of megas is because of
using the other like app version and
before this raid starts you can see here
around reverse so he's got this really
cool energy around him
that means that Rev is using a mega
Pokémon in this raid
so if he's using i'm going to guess it
because it's a vesting venusaur it's for
using mega charizard which means
our fire moves will get a boost so uh
mega venusaur isn't i'd say mega beast
was the easiest one to take down of
three or actually mega charizard gets
pretty destroyed
essentially the new feature the whole
cycle with it is
you do a mega raid to earn mega like
energy to mega evolve a pokemon to
do raids faster to get more mega energy
to mega involve more things so depending
on what kind of player you are that
might not be the biggest incentive to do
it for me i don't have that
incentive to smash out mega raids and
get heaps and heaps of them done get all
this mega energy and blah blah
i view this feature as more of like a
long term
passive thing i'm not going to be
grinding crazy crazy
hard and fast to try and get all of the
mega energy and mega evolve them all and
be using them every single time in
battle
because to me there that's
there's no point really
i think the end goal for me would be to
have a nice reserve of mega energy so
that when there are things like raid
days or
um you know raid events and things like
that where you are you know jumping in a
car with your friends and doing a whole
bunch of raids together
you do want to get some stuff done
faster one person you know is the the
mega for this type and someone's the
mega evolve for that type
and then you can you know as a squad get
stuff done more efficiently together
so viewing this as a long term thing i
don't see the biggest issue with it
the issue i do see is that you have to
raid to do it
uh and if you're someone who's using
free raid passes every single day it's
gonna take you a long long time to get
enough
uh energy to mega energy to evolve or
make revolve your pokemon
thankfully however there has already
been some pretty immediate feedback from
us
creators from you guys the community and
niantic has commented publicly saying
we're working on it we're looking at it
we appreciate your feedback keep giving
feedback
and that there is already in the
pipeline so they had already been
working on
other ways to get mega energy that
wasn't raids and they are taking on
board the
additional feedback to work on new
things or discuss new things
so i guess keep in mind that hopefully
sooner rather than later they've already
worked on our way for us to get the mega
energy
not from rains because i mean as we saw
as we will see i haven't done the quest
yet there's a quest for mega beetroot
and the reward
in that quest is mega energy so there's
clearly functionality for it to be
given out in different ways and let's
see we're going to get
uh you can actually get these as shinies
by the way 45
mm energy uh let's go
regular venus that's okay i'm not really
gonna shiny hunt for these either but
yeah they're they're they've
commented publicly saying they're
working on or they have already worked
on other ways to get stuff for free
so we'll keep our papers out and see
what that is
again i don't see this feature as a oh
quick rush go grind
gotta get it done and have like don't
don't feel the need to rush into this
because it's a feature that's not going
away
it's megas they're gonna be they're here
so
i don't think it's something that we
need to rush to get done if you do it
passively happy days
that's not a bad one i've already got a
hundo though so i don't really need this
one all right and i've just i've now
clocked over i've got enough
to do a mega evolution a venusaur i
haven't seen that many um
i haven't had many uh invites to like
charizards and blastoises and things
like that
so i'm a bit a lot lower on those two so
hopefully today i can get a few more of
those because i would like to
personally i'd like to mega evolve to
take some ar photos probably the least
functionally critical oh that's nice as
well look at that
that icon oh speaking of speaking of
charizard invites
yo charizard why i haven't done one of
these yet okay sick beautiful let's do
that straight away
but yeah no it's not i wouldn't say
overly functional
as a as a reason
to mega evolve something but it's
something that i guess the function is
it makes me happy by taking some nice
photos but that being said because it
only lasts for hours i really need to
find a good location
to photograph stuff so i guess maybe for
today we will
try and find a fun spot to photograph
and just kind of have a bit of a play
with that
and try and line it up with a raid so
that we can be most efficient with
whoever may evolve
we make mega evolve mega evolve today
the one annoying thing about this
feature is i have to say mega way too
many times
look at him the shiny actually for this
mega is
pretty darn nice it gets the nice uh
like black
outer color of shiny charizard but its
inside wings look like
red velvet so so lovely you know what in
motion he looks a lot better that big
forward looks
less horrific so you know what maybe
maybe charizard y would get would get a
promotion to spicy nicey
in the in the tier rankings just for
funsies i want to see if someone can see
that i'm going to put him
i brought the relic in this team it's
not the most like i mean
look he's doing his best it's not
necessarily the most most most effective
but if someone's got the
i mean someone had their mega aura
around them which would imagine would be
the mega blast toys which means that
water would do more damage
go really look at you going he's doing
so he's chunking away he's taking the
hits
go buddy that's kind of what to bring it
in for flavor and the regional flex
etcetera
he actually lasted way longer than i
expected shout out to relicanth
i really can't believe that it lasted
that long
45 margie
and a regular charizard first of all
thank you very much tarazad
and yeah terrible ivs but it's from the
usa which means
distance trade whoo okay i've got a few
things i need to get done today i'm
getting my laptop
battery repaired and stuff because it's
it's like it's been
playing up and making life a bit
difficult and just trying to smash out
some
tasks today while we do a couple of
raids and
hopefully mega evolves something for
possibly the least
functional purpose so enjoy i also just
forgot i need to actually claim through
this first part of the
mega discovery with the professor so you
and get some
mega energy for bedroom and
a pokemon appears it's probably going to
be a wheat it's pretty gonna be a white
screen
let's continue the investigation power
pokemon five times evolve a weedle
defeat three team
grunts okay so sub task today is keep an
eye out for
grunts as we go about now let's roll
it is the following day now and we have
got enough energy to mega evolve
our charizard i think i go for charizard
x on a non-shiny and then we've got all
of this
lovely hello space here to take
i think hopefully some nice ar photos
for me at the moment as i was saying
i kind of just want to take nice photos
i wish they lasted more than four hours
because
while i'm out and about i would like to
take photos of all different types and i
have to like
lose a mega evolve you know just for
photos but
what else i'm smarter with it really at
the moment so you know let's do it mega
evolve
to let's go charizard x because i think
charizard y looks nicer as the shiny
personally so send
oh that's a nice little animation and
registered to the mega pokedex he's just
clipping out of the sky though here on
the on the scene
that looks beautiful on the lucky
background too i can't remember this
one's like a 90
something iv beautiful
i think i have to change into like
proper ar mode but uh i know
i haven't taken a photo in a while
yeah i think we're gonna have some fun
out here but it looks a bit here as well
just unlocked two new medals with uh
mega evolve
one pokemon and mega evolve a pokemon
one time
so it looks like we're gonna have a
bunch of stuff let's see our new
new badges oh that's a this is a really
pretty one i like the look at this one
it's like very
like alrighty it's very nice
mega venusaur raid and therefore can
actually try out
mega charizard in the rain so i should
be boosting
uh all of my friends because i got the
mega and initially boosting all the fire
types
uh because i've got god's got double
fire moves on this bad boy
also big ship coming in shandy coming on
in
again i thought we're gonna be doing
many more of these raids once i've got
enough to mega evolve one of each sort
of vibe
i'm going to try and make the most of
while i've got the mega vault so i was
like i've already got it megan i might
as well take it in for a raid with some
fronds
and and end and i smash out a few more
photos so i want to take some photos of
venusaur as well today
um blasters will probably be another
time because i don't want to waste
like all of my mega energy in like one
weekend
okay let's say a quick little bye bye to
jamaica charizard right now
it feels like a little bit of a waste
being such a quick little evolution but
we've had a couple of hours together out
and about exploring
now let's just see actually what did we
get down to almost two hours remaining
so it is a bit of a bit of a waste but
i've taken a bunch of lovely photos
right here
these might actually turn into some of
the patreon postcard prints for this
month actually
i feel like that might be a nice a nice
theming some mega mega patreon postcards
for you lovely
good eggs that support over on there
let's go with
for mega venusaur i mean
functionally for me the 100 is going to
be the smarter one in terms if i use it
in raids and stuff going forward
the shiny for mega venusaur it's quite
nice but i think i'm going to go with
the regular for now as well for photos
because
i want to take some photos with uh we've
got the bulbasaur dress on
we might as well get some nice photos of
venusaur with you know with the fam
themed all together i'm gonna need my
handy dandy assistant alan though for
what i've got in mind
look at that nice they are quite nice
makers aren't they these ones are really
strong the starters
very very strong beautiful am i say
strong i mean strong design
look at this little bum get them munch
what a little sweetheart actually
another thing i should have considered
for ar photos mega venusaur
faint it's like venus or female has a
smaller flower oh wait no does she have
a small flower
or she just have smaller spots on her
flower all of my other venusaur
are male so i can't compare directly i
feel like
they i feel like so that might be
another thing to i'll double check i'll
put it on screen
let's jump in take some pics before we
do that let's have a quick look at what
it does look like
in the mega pokedex because i haven't
gone into that yet
oh it's down here oh i like the i like
the visual for that
oh little megas
in the pokedex nice and pink i like it i
am about that color spectrum son
beautiful and it's got the options there
for the shiny sprites once we
see or evolve them lovely
oh oh oh
maybe i should have done shiny it's
quite nice actually that's way more
vibrant
i feel like the ghost brights sometimes
just get like pumped up quite a bit
um for their shinies and stuff they look
quite vibrant
okay let's take some pics what do you
guys think a couple of these pics and it
turned out
pretty pretty all right uh again i would
love to take
way more ar shots with these massive
megas new designs new animations all
that jazz
but again it is a bit of a bit of a
rough go considering it's
only four hours okay like you wanna be
in the right location to do it
so i have to actually i guess start
thinking
start thinking critically about where i
want to do photos and prep for it i also
did go through and put aside a whole
bunch of pokemon for future mega
evolutions once you know their megas are
in the game
not that kind of jazz let's see we've
still got plenty of mega energy left
over for venusaur at some point
blastoise we haven't got enough yet to
do that once that one's gonna be
probably a slow
and later thing uh in charizard we've
got
um it's cheaper now i guess we've got
plenty of charizard
uh to do maybe a mega x mega y
alternate take some lots of photos or
maybe get a shiny
i think shiny mega y looks
pretty lovely and we also have to kind
of finish off that quest for the
professor but we'll do that through the
week i'm in
not really a rush i guess in the same
aspect as i'm not in a rush to
do anything with the mega features
really they're going to be here we know
that's here you know
these ones are in rotation at least for
september
and it's a feature that's designed to be
in the game
forever so again i don't feel the need
to rush and do it and
hurry i'm just gonna do it at my own
pace evolve when i need to
and yeah can i see where that goes i'll
be curious to see if slash when it rolls
into pvp because that's gonna be another
big thing to do with it definitely would
be nice to spice up some you know the
mega
mega not mega spice up the master league
for pvp because
that's just the one league i don't i
don't particularly care for
it's always just the same stuff it's the
same legendary like it wasn't on repeat
um less diverse i feel than in
great league so it'd be cool to see if
some of these megas once that feature is
available there hopefully
if it spices them the master league up a
little bit too let me know in the
