Lured Up Podcast 365 Live Streamed on - 9/30/25 Publish Date - 10/3/2025 When you think about it, this week was completely normal. Wake up, open the game, go to work, come home, go to bed, then repeat. The culture of routines that this game has created provide Trainers with the consistent backbone to their day. As Pokémon GO Trainers, we really do have a unique approach to how we game, with gameplay styles that are diverse and personalized. Being a current Pokémon GO Trainer is a great thing. Mega Camerupt gave IRL Trainers the opportunity to have another day of grinding which could evolve into a Trade Day afterparty. With most events happening on Sundays, it lines up perfectly, but for next Saturday's Meta Metagross Raid Day, we may see the first stand alone Trade Day Campfire events. We can't hype up enough how awesome Trade Days are and how they managed to create a weekly event that pairs perfectly with off screen activities. Looking at the October Calendar, we see a balanced month of events, new releases, and the return of the Halloween Event. Mega Metagross has been a long time coming so we put together a Battle Party and check out Pokebattler and GO Hub to review what counters to bring. Hopefully we see some fun and unique battle parties out there as the Counter list is exceptionally diverse. Let us know what you are bringing! We wrap things up by spending a hypothetical $20 in the webstore and opening a conversation about spending in general. One thing the game does well is to tap into our emotions to influence spending, even when the purchase may not lead to what you want or expect. Impulsive behaviors, FOMO, and so many other factors play a role in how much and how often we spend. Does this give Trainers agency to be an individual, or does it drive Trainers apart? We dig in deep!

El hecho de que Gustavo esté escribiendo esto en lugar de ChatGPT, considerando que podría estar jugando al Hades 2, es un claro ejemplo de los sacrificios que estamos dispuestos a hacer por Café Fandango. Otro ejemplo es la grabación del episodio 575, donde Edu te cuenta de todo lo que su jugador (no) estuvo jugando en el FC 25, un poco más del Judgment y, finalmente, con Gus te cuentan todas sus opiniones sobre el Hades 2. Después pasamos a las noticias donde EA pasa a ser una empresa privada, Brasil prohibe la venta de lootboxes a menores a partir del año que viene, Kojima da más detalles de su proyecto con Niantic y cerramos con un resumen de la reciente State of Play de Playstation.
Tokyo Game Show happened this last week, and while once a non-factor in Japan, Microsoft is making efforts to show their progress in Japanese developed and targeted game releases.

Lured Up Podcast 364 Live Streamed on - 9/23/25 Publish Date - 9/26/25 This week had a first with Scopely retweeting Pokémon GO which reminded Trainers that the Niantic acquisition was completed months ago. With the comments being somewhat tame so far, we inappropriately speculate on if we think the hyper passionate and emotional X mob will give Scopely a fair chance on social, or if the baton will be passed directly to them from Niantic. With the team members being the same, we know the same devs are still pushing the buttons. As for social, particularly NianticHelp, we are yet to see the names and branding flip to reflect Scopely. We know one thing for sure, we hope Scopely is ready to take on PGO social media. We start with a recap of the last week of gameplay including the Psychic Spectacular: Taken Over and Shadow Groudon Raid Weekend. While the event pace has slowed down a bit, the Today View is more stacked than ever, with multiple Timed and Special Research stacking on top of each other. With three upcoming weekends of Max Battle and Raid Days, we talk about what kind of value we get from DMAX vs Mega Pokémon. This week brings us Mega Camerupt, followed by DMAX Duraludon releasing along with its Shiny, followed up by Mega Metagross which has been a long time coming. With most Trainers having already invested in good IV Metagross, what appeals to you more: DMAX or Megas? Large scale IRL events are in the news this week as City Safaris in Valencia and Amsterdam are happening this weekend, and a Save-The-Date post was shared for GO Tour. With both of these events having a unique presentation and feel, they compliment GO Fest events well, and promote travel, which is something we feel makes this game so special. No worries if you can't travel, GO Tour Global will be happening one week after the in person event. Finally we wrap up with a conversation about a topic that has been around for a while. Content creators being rude to the developer and claiming that it is constructive criticism. With so many ways to sway a community, and so many avenues as a creator to speak directly to the developer, we question why some on social media insist on slipping in a dig when commenting about the game.

Send us a textThis week,We kick off with the latest Pokémon GO news — Solosis Community Day is here, but with a twist! Lure Modules now last just one hour, but run until 9pm, with spawns focusing mostly (but not entirely) on Solosis. We share our thoughts on this change, whether it's a positive update, and how it affects community play. From there, we recap Flabébé Community Day, discussing how we played, our highlights, and of course, our best catches.Mark then hosts a refreshed version of Play Your Dex Right, where the hosts test their Pokédex knowledge in a higher-or-lower style challenge. We also dive deeper into the Pokémon Concierge Celebration Event now that we've had time to play it — sharing what worked, what didn't, and our honest impressions.In part two of the news, it's time for Mega Camerupt Raid Day, the Steel Skyline event, and the huge headline: Meta Metagross Raid Day — the FINAL Mega (aside from Mewtwo). Are we hyped, or does the format feel stale?With a healthy helping of WhatsApp voice messages from our listeners, and finally, we wrap up with your favourite segment, Shinies of the Week, celebrating the community's best finds.We'd like to say a massive thank you to all of our Patrons for your support, with credited Patrons from featured tiers below:#GOLDJB, Kerry & Zachary, Barside2, Mandy Croft, Mr Mossom, Mufti, DeanDHL, Masterlaxus42 & DamonMac08.#SILVERKLXVI, Dell Hazard, Spindiana, Lori Beck, Steve In Norway, CeeCeeismad, Macfloof, Saul Haberfield, Lizzie George, Sander Van Den Dreiesche, Neonnet, Ellen Rushton, James Alexander, Northern Soph, Tom Cattle, Charley Todd, Robert Wilson, MissSummerOf69, Malcolm Grinter, Jordi Castel, Thehotweasel, shinyikeamom, TonyOfPride & Johno.The Gaming BlenderWe mash genres.

Lured Up Podcast 363 Live Streamed on - 9/16/25 Publish Date - 9/19/25 The Concierge Event kept Trainers busy and having a good time with a fun encounter pool and Shiny hunts. If you haven't watched Concierge on Netflix yet, it is something you should do ASAP. Pokémon GO deals with such a high volume of Pokémon, it is nice when animation reminds us that Pokémon have personalities.Having Flabébé Community Day over the weekend broke things up nicely, while the fan favorite Trade Day closed out the weekend. The Psychic Spectacular is back and this time it has been Taken Over by Team GO Rocket. Perfect for Trainers trudging through Level 44, this may have been the shortest gap between Team GO Rocket events. We run through the event and dig in to the updated Shadow lineups from Grunts and Team Leaders. Rescuing Shadow Incarnate Form Tornadus should be on everyone's list, and should be somewhat quick to complete as you can get a Super Rocket Radar from Research. Shadow Groudon comes back to us this weekend so we put together a little Raid Guide and Battle Party to get you prepped. With some fun counters including Mega Evolution and Shadow Pokémon, we hope you have a sizable Raid Party that allows you to get creative with things. Some highlights from our parties include Ken bringing 3 Hundo Kyogres, with each of them being a little bit different, and Adam bringing Pokémon like Golisipod that may have never seen a Raid Battle to date! While we do have some info on Mega Camerupt Raid Day and Solosis Community Day, we close things out with a conversation around game-life balance, and how it may take you being a bit creative to get the most gameplay in. We discuss ways to have the game be less invasive on your personal and professional lives, and how there is so much value in playing this game solo. Has the onslaught of events impacted the adventure aspect of this game? Perhaps it is up to the Trainer to revisit a more adventurous play style and get out there, even without an active event or group to meetup with.

The game does not seem to be letting up even after the Max Finale. Join JayTI7N and JackJack as we recap the events of the Max Finale and Eternatus and venture into the newest season, the Season of Transformation. The events keep coming with Mega Raids, Shadow Raids, Community Days as well as game issues like wrong raid spawns, no shiny rate increases, and game glitches. Silliness has always been part of the game, but hopefully some future changes like Level 80 increases hold promise. Aurora Masters is also doing more support for the community this season. What are you looking forward to with this Season of Transformation? Hopefully the silliness will be kept to a minimum!
Send us a textThis week,We kick things off with a look back at Mega Sharpedo Raid Day, sharing how we tackled the event, the outcomes from our raids, and even a listener's WhatsApp message on their experience. From there, it's straight into the hottest topic in Pokémon GO right now — the October 15th Level 80 update. With the XP grind now more important than ever, we openly discuss how our approach to the game has shifted, share our top tips for farming XP efficiently, and debate the best ways to prepare whether you're playing on a budget or throwing all your resources at the challenge.Of course, it wouldn't be Incensed! without a game — Milo hosts another round of What The Ducklett, where craptic Pokémon clues test the hosts' patience and knowledge in equal measure.

Lured Up Podcast 362 Live Streamed on - 3/9/25 Publish Date - 3/12/25 We think Trainers had a lot more fun celebrating Kanto than they thought they would. With a diverse spawn pool, plenty of fan favorites, and some nice bonuses, it really was a good time. Last weekend we had Mega Sharpedo, which was surprisingly popular, bringing out strong numbers on the ground, with a good helping of Remote Raiders as well. It was a bit nice to only have a single 2-5pm event over the weekend, as it gave us time to recover, prep, and spend time with our families! We hope this is the pacing we see moving forward. Trade Days may be one of the best incentives to IRL play that we have seen in a long time. Who knew that just adding an additional Lucky Trade would motivate people to reach the end of an event and want to keep the gameplay going with a trade session. We are major supporters of this new bonus, and think it will only grow in popularity as Communities build it into their meetup schedules. Nothing better than grabbing some food after an event, talking shop, and banging out 100 trades. There is still a lot of September gameplay left this month with the return of the Psychic Spectacular, Shadow Groudon Raid Weekend and the newly announced Completely Normal event. Even though this Psychic Spectacular is a Taken Over event, the core event has been a staple on the Pokémon GO annual calendar for years. We take a close look at Niantic's blog's for the event over the last few years and how they have changed. From fully detailed spawn lists with images, to just a list, to a now, very shortened list, the community has feelings. For some it is a non-issue, but for others, they feel mistreated, almost assuming Niantic has some malicious intent in removing a few Pokémon from this list. Adam brings up a good point in how this game rarely if ever surprises us. Maybe this is a simple way to add some actual surprise in needing to adventure a bit to get the big picture. Finally, we touch on how some quality of life and interface updates have upset some Trainers online, reminding us that some people will simply be upset at anything and everything.

Here is the scene… You are winding down towards the end of your Raid Day, walking down a hill with the remaining members of your Campfire. You reach the waterfront just as the sun is dropping below the horizon, lighting up the gameboard in an amber glow. Trainers are scattered about, and everyone is having an incredible time. Sounds like the best, right? We think so. We kick things off with a recap of the last week, with another triple threat weekend. The Kanto Celebration has us smiling when Snorlax appears, as our weekend brings us Rookidee Community Day and Mega Gyarados Raid Day. The calendar fatigue has been real, and sometimes you need a hard reset. The repetitive nature we see in this game sometimes makes it easy to pick an event to sit out, or at least the event that will bring the least amount of FOMO. Mega Sharpedo will debut this weekend, with a Raid Day that should be popular with the Community. Mega Raids can be done with fewer Trainers than some Legendaries, so Mega Raid Days can move quickly, offer high accessibility, and breathe new life into existing Pokémon already in our storage. Adam can brush off his multiple hundo Sharpedo and decide what to do with his squad of Hundo Carvana. The addition of Trade Days make any Sunday event more attractive, and something tells us there will be plenty of Shiny Mega Sharpedo trades going down. We glaze over the remaining events of the month, as we have over a week until they arrive. Team GO Rocket is back with the Psychic Spectacular: Taken Over, which takes us into Shadow Groudon Raid Weekend. The pacing remains high, which pairs well when the community is feeling good. The September GO Pass however, has some Trainers feeling a bit left out. Our final convo of the game is about player expectation, and how like the Timed Incubator, you get out what you put in. With Niantic slash Scopely putting more and more into IRL gameplay, the experience itself can sometimes outweigh the event. That is the lightning in a bottle. The experience behind community events, the magic that happens off screen, the friendships that we make along the way. All of these things create an environment that Trainers of all skill levels, ambitions, or financial investment can get behind. That environment is what some perspectives on line are lacking, as Community experiences aren't created through paid tickets, rewards, or bonuses. The Campfire events are becoming the star of the show, and we are here for it.

Lured Up Podcast 360 Live Streamed on - 8/26/25 Publish Date - 8/29/25 The Max Finale has come and gone and shockingly, the Community is split over how they feel about the event! OK, maybe not so shockingly, but the event did have some ups and downs. This caused emotions to flare online, even though Trainers on the ground seemed to be having the times of their lives. We knew with the lead in of Dark Skies that we had to come up with a game plan to maximize our gameplay. Do we spend the MP on the DMAX throughout the week, or do we hold back for the GMAX over the weekend. The GO Pass created a solid free to play foundation for Trainers to have agency over how they wanted to play, with the Finale itself feeling like a 16 hour long MAX Battle event. It only took about 1 or 2 Eternatus Max Battles for Trainers to figure out how they wanted their day to go, with the bulk of Trainers we interacted with, putting a low to zero priority on battling Eternatus. That being said the other GMAX stole the show as spawns without a shiny boost felt a bit lackluster, even with the incredibly high spawn density. This was an Eternatus focused event, but oddly enough, for many Trainers, the Eternatus chase was over once they hit level 60 on their GO Pass. Only a small amount of Trainers were in for the long Eternatus haul, meaning not only an investment of money but also of time. Doing enough Battles to max out Eternatus could cost $200 or more. This caused the online community to sharpen their pitchforks, as the combo of FOMO and sunk cost fallacy collided. Trainers on the ground seemed to have a blast, with Campfire meetups driving the train. Trainers had an incredible time and put in some serious distance while trekking throughout the event. It almost seemed like some were simply looking for an egg to throw, but to each their own right? The Max Finale was only part of the news this week, as Season 20, Tales of Transformation was announced, along with a level rebalancing that will bring the max level all the way up to 80! The roller coaster of emotions and feelings is doing loops and we are here to make sense of it all.

Plus, we discuss the sunny vibes of the brand-new Sunkissed Shores event, with thoughts on spawns, bonuses, and grind potential with the debut of Dondozo.Then, it's time for an honest conversation: Is Pokémon GO becoming TOO monetized?

Lured Up Podcast 359 Live Streamed on - 8/19/25 Publish Date - 8/22/25 Delightful Days: Taken Over Pokémon GO Worlds Event Dark Skies and the Max Finale G47IX Dark Skies Infographic G47IX Max Finale Infographic GMAX Battle Update Sunkissed Shores The Max Finale is finally here and we can finally push through it so we can all rest, right? There is still no end in sight to the onslaught of events, even with the Max Finale at our doorstep. With next Season coming before you know it, and a new Pokémon release with its Shiny available on day one coming the day immediately following the Max Finale! This drum is getting as worn down as our endurance, with no end in sight. Delightful Days: Taken Over and the Pokémon GO Worlds Event kept us very busy last week, with the welcomed and missed Giovanni loop. Shadow Kyogre Raid Weekend was a popular event, and luckily everything seemed to work properly. We would be lying if we didn't hear a harsh lack of faith from the Community, with some feeling surprised there wasn't an issue. Definitely not a good position for Niantic/Scopely wants to be in heading to the Max Finale. Dark Skies will do it best to dry up your inventory of consumables prior to the Max Finale. We don't want, however, to look past how much gameplay is available as F2P. We highly recommend having a plan and strategy to go after what you want, while working within the F2P bubble (to start) before worrying about how expensive the event “could” be. With a non-stop barrage of DMAX and ultimately GMAX Pokémon to face, be sure to manage your MP rewards from the GO Pass and work timing to your advantage. Study the schedule and figure out when you want to attack and when you want to recover.100 person GMAX lobbies should make it a bit easier for in-person Communities to take things down, while also allowing remote Trainers to not constantly be hit with a full lobby when trying to get in. We touch on Sunkissed Shores and the release of Shiny Dondozo, before inappropriately speculating on the future of the game. We talk about what we would like to see from the game and if this non-stop event pace is actually sustainable. What will be the first to fold? Our excitement, energy, or wallets?

Lured Up Podcast 358 Live Streamed on - 8/12/25 Publish Date - 8/15/25 With less than two weeks until the GO Fest Max Finale, the event calendar will not be giving anyone a calm before the storm. It's time to start strategizing on how to best prepare for the lead up to Eternatus. From item and storage maintenance, to banking consumable items, it is in your best interest to start thinking about how you want to approach the event. The Dark Skies rollout of Max Battles should help you focus on what you want, and we know the community wants to get after Eternamax Eternatus. The recap kicks off with Cozy Companions and Munchlax Hatch Day, which worked well at bringing together catching, grinding, and hatching. The six hour window took some pressure off and gave Trainers time to put in some kilometers. The rates for Shiny Munchlax were strong, so the event was generally well received. Sunday's Ultra Unlock: Origin Raid Day however, was the opposite. Early reports from New Zealand came through saying that the Shiny Rate wasn't boosted, with some Trainers throwing up triple digit Raid counts and walking away without a single Shiny. For us in the US, we typically don't worry about things that break early, as they tend to get fixed well before the Eastern Time Zone. Niantic Help put out a tweet stating that they have identified an issue regarding the Shiny rate during the event, but they unfortunately didn't mention anything about fixing it. The broken Shiny rate put a damper on enthusiasm and absolutely cut many Trainer's days short. What would have been the perfect six hour grind, quickly turned into scorned pockets of resentful Trainers. The Tweet stated that compensation was coming, but the conversation moved to what and how it would work. Trainers had already invested significant time and in some cases a lot of money into the event, so a makeup day would just mean they would have to reinvest. A packed calendar makes it hard to even fit another 6 hour event in. Could this come in Timed Research based on how many Raids you won? Time will tell!

Lured Up Podcast 357Live Streamed on - 8/5/25Publish Date - 8/9/25We hope your calendar is clear this month, because we have a non-stop barrage of events that will require more effort, more time, and even more dedication if you plan on staying ahead of the FOMO. We see the return of 6 hour daily events on top of an already hectic and unrelenting calendar throughout the month. With Max Finale being the highlight, the rest of the month keeps the momentum going strong, and offers a bit of everything. That being said, when is too much, too much?Our weekly recap touches on Adventure Week, Fossil Research Day, and Gigantamax Butterfree Max Battle Day. Sweet Storm brings us some fun Timed Research and Cozy Companions brings us two new dex entries and a new Shiny to chase. This weekend has 12 hours of reservation events happening while Cozy Companions looms over them, and tickets and Timed Research is packed in the shop. We truly hope you can sustain the mayhem!THis weekend gives some diverse gameplay with Munchlax Hatch Day, where the 5 hour window seems to make good sense, while Origin Raid Day, will keep us reaching into our pockets if we want to make the most of the event. With Scopely in the hot seat, the new monetization strategy isn't about the microtransactions and pop ups that we previously feared, but instead about an incredible amount of rotating, time sensitive products in the store that can drastically improve the playability of nearly every event.We put together a little Raid Guide and Battle Party for Origin Forme Palkia and Dialga, which depending on your group's numbers, may lend itself to some diverse and unique Battle Parties. While it will be easy to pack your party filled with Rayquaza, we encourage you instead to get creative and bring out some Pokémon that may not have seen the Raid arena yet. Make sure to tag us on Social with your parties or send us an email or text!After the break we did in to next season's save the date post, which includes an incredible amount of Raid Days. As mentioned earlier in the show, I think we all may need to adjust to Scopely's new normal, and either break the stigma of spending on digital goods or learn to have some restraint without triggering FOMO.Adventure WeekFossil Research DayGigantamax Butterfree Max Battle DaySweet SwarmCozy CompanionsMunchlax Hatch DayUltra Unlock: Origin Raid DayPokémon GO Hub Palkia Raid GuidePokémon GO Hub Dialga Raid GuideSave the DatesStay up to date by adding our Google Calendar to your account!LuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com Voicemail and SMS: 732-835-8639 Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!Connect with us on multiple platforms! https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork HostsKen PescatoreAdam TuttleWriter and ProducerKen PescatoreExecutive Producer XanderShow music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾http://instagram.com/GameChopshttp://twitter.com/GameChopshttp://soundcloud.com/GameChopshttp://facebook.com/GameChopshttp://youtube.com/GameChopshttp://www.gamechops.comIntro MusicLake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix) TetracaseGameChops - Ultraballhttp://gamechops.com/ultraball/https://soundcloud.com/tetracase https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0Break MusicNational ParkMikel & GameChopsGameChops - Poké & Chillhttp://smarturl.it/pokechillhttps://twitter.com/mikel_beatsOutro MusicVast Poni CanyonCG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix)GameChops - Ultraballhttp://gamechops.com/ultraball/ http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beatshttps://soundcloud.com/glitchxcityPokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2025 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.Lured Up and the Pokémon Professor Network are not affiliated with Niantic Inc., The Pokémon Company, Game Freak or Nintendo.#pokemon #pokemongo #podcast

Lured Up Podcast 356Live Streamed on - 7/29/25Publish Date - 8/1/25We are starting to hear chatter in the Community over whether the Scopely influence is making its way to in-game decisions. The patching of the micro-drift exploit, which Trainers have used for years to allow them to use a local Raid Pass on a Raid that is just out of normal reach, has caused a bit of a revolt. From Trainers saying they are boycotting, to confusion over why this of all things was patched while other bugs still persist. Any way you look at it, the Community always has something to target, and this month's flavor of the month is this patch and how it ties to Remote Raiding.In actual gameplay news, we begin with a recap of the last week of events including the wrap up of Steel & Scales, DMAX Latios & Latias, and the kickoff of Adventure Week. Multiple events through the week and double weekend events are becoming more common, leaving Trainers with less and less downtime. Is this a sustainable pace? Will this cause Trainers to back off? All we know is that we want it all and it is getting tougher and tougher to keep up.The August content update absolutely slams the calendar, as it doesn't even allow for a single day of vanilla encounters. Do we miss seeing what the Seasonal spawns bring to the table or do we want the constant variety that events bring to the gameboard? In the first two weeks of the month, we see multiple different events, bringing new Pokémon or Shinies to the table, along with a plethora of tickets. Let's not forget about the GO Pass and Eggs-pedition Access which ask for spending before the month even kicks off. With all of this spending, there is no wonder why Trainers don't want to reach further into their pockets for Remote Raid Passes. The real question is, has the game moved on from even listening to them?

While we are at it, Happy Birthday to Professor Willow, who we hope one day will benefit from Trainers playing the game with sound on!Our weekly recap touches on how last weekend was very busy, with the aforementioned Summer Concert overarching over GMAX Battle Day for Lapras and Quaxly Community Day. We share our experience and get real for a moment to discuss Ken's weekend and how sometimes it is clear to see just how important this game is to us. While many of us wish we could be out there 24/7 on the grind, life sometimes has other plans that take priority. As always, finding balance to manage it all may be the most difficult part of this game.This weekend brings us DMAX Latios and Latias which will hopefully inspire at a minimum, small groups of 4 to get out there to take them down. With their being a pair of DMAX available, the Shiny hunt will surely be on as we grind through the event. With the Steel and Scales Ultra Unlock carrying us through, we still have the benefit of 4x Catch XP and Stardust, which will make a bunch of DMAX Battles very fruitful. We also have GMAX Butterfree on the horizon, which is keeping in line the importance of the Max Battle mechanic to the overall scope of the game.We finally have details on the Max Finale which has some Trainers scratching their heads. While we can battle Eternamax Eternatus in Max Battles, we won't be able to catch it. Instead, we will earn the much needed Candy and Candy XL for the one and only Eternatus encounter we will have as part of the Max Finale Go Pass. While keeping it cannon, it is still a departure from what we are used to when battling Raid or Max Battle bosses. It looks like Eternatus will be more like Zygarde or Zarude, where we will only have one in our inventory. Clearly, this will be a strong contender for the next Golden Bottle Cap that comes around.Summer ConcertGigantamax Lapras Max Battle DayCommunity Day: Quaxly DMAX Latios & LatiasAdventure WeekGigantamax Butterfree Max Battle DayRookidee Community DayGO Fest: Max FinaleStay up to date by adding our Google Calendar to your account!LuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com Voicemail and SMS: 732-835-8639 Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!Connect with us on multiple platforms! https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork HostsKen PescatoreAdam TuttleWriter and ProducerKen PescatoreExecutive Producer XanderShow music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾http://instagram.com/GameChopshttp://twitter.com/GameChopshttp://soundcloud.com/GameChopshttp://facebook.com/GameChopshttp://youtube.com/GameChopshttp://www.gamechops.comIntro MusicLake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix) TetracaseGameChops - Ultraballhttp://gamechops.com/ultraball/https://soundcloud.com/tetracase https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0Break MusicNational ParkMikel & GameChopsGameChops - Poké & Chillhttp://smarturl.it/pokechillhttps://twitter.com/mikel_beatsOutro MusicVast Poni CanyonCG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix)GameChops - Ultraballhttp://gamechops.com/ultraball/ http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beatshttps://soundcloud.com/glitchxcityPokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2025 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.Lured Up and the Pokémon Professor Network are not affiliated with Niantic Inc., The Pokémon Company, Game Freak or Nintendo.#pokemon #pokemongo #podcast

Lured Up Podcast 354: FatigueLive Streamed on - 7/15/25Publish Date - 7/18/25We hope you were able to get out and grind through the Ultra Unlock: Hisui Celebration. 4x Catch XP and Stardust is wild, and we will have another shot at it soon when part 2 of the Ultra Unlock drops in about a week. Lilligant Raid Day was fun and being a three star boss made is super accessible and easy for most Trainers to at least use all of their free passes for the day. The event madness will keep pushing on through the end of the month, led by the Water Festival that just dropped on the day of this recording.The Summer Concert event has been announced and it will make for a very busy weekend. Not only do we have two scheduled events this weekend with GMax Lapras and Quaxly Community Day, but now we have an overarching event to boot. In fact, we will only see a single day of vanilla spawns for the rest of the month due to the onslaught of events. The packed calendar, event tickets, consumables, and research some Trainers put into the game are seriously taking a toll on core Trainers. Many are tired and feeling the burn in a bunch of different ways.Not only do we have events running for the rest of the month, but we also have the IRL Road Trip event kicking off in Europe. A ton of creators will be featured at the event, including some friends of ours so make sure you stop them to say hi! Finally, to close out the month, DMAX Latios and Latias are swooping in for a Max Battle weekend. We have been saying it for weeks - this game is asking a lot of its players. Is this what we want?Ultra Unlock: Hisui Celebration Hisuian Lilligant Raid DayWater FestivalSummer ConcertGigantamax Lapras Max Battle DayCommunity Day: Quaxly Road Trip DatesDMAX Latios & LatiasLuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com Voicemail and SMS: 732-835-8639 Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!Connect with us on multiple platforms! https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork HostsKen PescatoreAdam TuttleWriter and ProducerKen PescatoreExecutive Producer XanderShow music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾http://instagram.com/GameChopshttp://twitter.com/GameChopshttp://soundcloud.com/GameChopshttp://facebook.com/GameChopshttp://youtube.com/GameChopshttp://www.gamechops.comIntro MusicLake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix) TetracaseGameChops - Ultraballhttp://gamechops.com/ultraball/https://soundcloud.com/tetracase https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0Break MusicNational ParkMikel & GameChopsGameChops - Poké & Chillhttp://smarturl.it/pokechillhttps://twitter.com/mikel_beatsOutro MusicVast Poni CanyonCG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix)GameChops - Ultraballhttp://gamechops.com/ultraball/ http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beatshttps://soundcloud.com/glitchxcityPokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2025 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.Lured Up and the Pokémon Professor Network are not affiliated with Niantic Inc., The Pokémon Company, Game Freak or Nintendo.#pokemon #pokemongo #podcast
