321. Max Battles Are Fun

Lured Up Podcast 321 Record Date - 9/24/24 Publish Date - 9/27/24   We have plenty to discuss this week as the hits just keep on coming. Niantic is keeping their foot on the gas pedal with Max Out, as new events, Pokémon and Shinies are inbound to the game this month.   We begin with a recap of our last week of gameplay including the Psychic Spectacular and Dynamax Beldum Raids. We loved seeing a fleshed out and diverse event that provides a bit of gameplay for many different disciplines of Trainers. The focus this week however is on DMax Beldum, which while not too tough a boss in the end, definitely took a lot of Trainers by surprise in their first few battles. This makes DMax even more promising as a vessel to release new and exciting content to the game.   Oranguru and Passimian Research Day delivered as expected with simple tasks and plenty of Shinies. Having events like this that support free to play players and the most hardcore at the same time is no simple feat. In the end, these types of events just work out well for everyone that plays them. We also have news of the Galar Starters coming as Max Battles along with Falinx, which will keep that DMax Train chugging along.   Plenty of miscellaneous news this week including Sewaddle Community Day, new TCG inspired Stickers, Campfire on browser, and sharing items in Party Play. This season is absolutely jammed with content and October looks to keep it going.    Baltimore Regionals were this last weekend and many notable Battlers have spoken up about the state of PvP negatively impacting the event. When Niantic makes a known issue as resolved, yet it rears its head on the world stage, it is never a good look. We hope that in the end all of the battles played were decided fairly.   Between Legendary Heroes and Galarian Expedition, we have Zacian and Zamazenta returning, but this time with their Shiny forms. We have a strong feeling that Raids will be popping off for the next two weeks.
