The Return... of May



Episode 232: the Donphan episode of the PokeProblemsPodcast!

So much has been happening in Pokemon GO! The biggest change since we last talked: Mega Evolution Update! May is a busy month... The Research Breakthru this month is Alolan Grimer. May Community Day, Alolan Geodude, is May 21 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. local time. Now you can gift a ticket to the Community Day Special Research story: A Rocky Road, to a friend! Plus, there are going to be in-person events this month for Community Day! See if there are in-person events near you! Two locations in boston; in person at Faneuil hall, virtual at the Boston Common. Pokémon GO’s Water Festival returns for 2022 and brings the debuts of Lapras wearing a scarf, Dewpider, and Araquanid. May’s Raids are the Alolan Guardian Deities, Mega Blastoise and Mega Altaria! Plus, May is the last month of Alola… Make sure you complete the last Alolan research, the Poni Island Special Research. If you complete all the islands by June 1, 2022, you’ll unlock a bonus Special Research line at the end of the Season! Finally, a new Pokemon GO widget featuring your buddy is coming. Did you know there were Pokemon GO WIDGETS??? Plus, international in-person Pokémon GO Fest events are back, and the first stop is Berlin, Germany! From Friday, July 1, 2022, to Sunday, July 3, 2022, at Britzer Garten. Pokémon GO Fest 2022 continues its world tour with a stop in Sapporo, Japan! Nakajima Park and the city of Sapporo will host this special event from August 5, 2022, to August 7, 2022. This year’s event is too big to be contained within a single park, so some gameplay elements have been expanded citywide!
