206. Power Planting

Lured Up Podcast 206 Record Date - 11/18/22 Publish Date -1/21/22   With the Mountains of Power event wrapped up, Trainers were treated to good old vanilla Season of Heritage spawns. This opens up the spawn pool to nearly 100 different Pokémon and the return of evolved forms to the wild. DO you think that we should see more downtime between events to allow us to hunt for a wider range of species?   The Power Plant event is here and will bring us the debut of Helioptile who scores mega cute points. While the event Raids do not seem so strong, we do have a pretty solid encounter and Field Research pool with plenty of shinies to hunt.   The Love Cup will be here soon and we review a few of the best counters and how they can be used. With the removal of Defense Deoxys it seems like the meta will return to being balanced and evenly competitive. Will you bring any spice picks? Ken may bring Rotom just for kicks.   Before wrapping up with a discussion about the Raid System, we have some fun with random Twitter responses to Niantic tweets. It leads us to believe that many people may not understand the ELO system and how while it is functioning perfectly, it may actually feel like it is designed to hold you back!   Mountains of Power - https://bit.ly/LU204Mountains  January Events - https://bit.ly/LU206January Power Plant - https://bit.ly/LU206PowerPlant Understanding ELO - https://bit.ly/LU206ELO    Support for the Lured Up Podcast is brought to you by MANSCAPED Use code BALLCHECK at https://www.manscaped.com/ for 20% off and free shipping   Support the show by shopping at TCGPlayer.com using this link - https://bit.ly/TCGPlayerAffiliate    Pokémon Professor Network Merch Store - https://bit.ly/PPNMerchStore    [email protected]    Inappropriate Voicemail, Text, and Picture Line - 732-835-8639  http://pokemonprofessor.com  https://www.luredup.com http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetPatreon  http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetFacebook  http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetTwitter  http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetYouTube  http://bit.ly/PokeProfNetInstagram  http://bit.ly/LuredUpTumblr  http://bit.ly/LuredUpApplePodcasts   http://bit.ly/LuredUpSpotify  http://bit.ly/LuredUpStitcher  http://bit.ly/LuredUpGooglePodcasts  http://bit.ly/LuredUpIHeartRadio  https://bit.ly/LUPodchaser    Hosts Ken Pescatore Adam Tuttle   Writer and Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer  Paul Bhatt   Show music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons   ▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾ http://instagram.com/GameChops http://twitter.com/GameChops http://soundcloud.com/GameChops http://facebook.com/GameChops http://youtube.com/GameChops http://www.gamechops.com   Intro Music Lake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix)  Tetracase GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/ https://soundcloud.com/tetracase  https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0   Break Music National Park Mikel & GameChops GameChops - Poké & Chill http://smarturl.it/pokechill https://twitter.com/mikel_beats   Outro Music Vast Poni Canyon CG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix) GameChops - Ultraball http://gamechops.com/ultraball/  http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beats https://soundcloud.com/glitchxcity Pokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2021 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 Learn more about your ad choices.
