335. The Big Game

Lured Up Podcast 335: The Big Game Record Date - 2/5/2025 Publish Date - 2/7/2025   There is an insane amount of news to cover this week, and we jump straight into it. The Lunar New Year event, Legendary Flight, and GMAX Kingler Max Battle Day all happened in the last few days. Niantic is keeping their foot on the gas and we are here for it. We work our way through February’s slate of event, starting with Strong Yet Small and taking it all the way through to GO Tour: Unova,   We have a combination of event styles this month, with new Pokémon and new Shinies coming our way. We make sure to mention that we have yet another Pokémon being released that is not available in the wild. Could this be an intentional trend or does Niantic have something in mind? We aren’t sure of much, but we know that scarcity is an issue in the game, especially when Pokémon are gated behind eggs or Raids.   The month is overflowing with events as we prep for GO Tour Season. The event in LA is still a go, but sadly we won’t be traveling to it. The return of both Hoopa Unbound and Incarnate Forme Enamorus, the Raiders out there will be super happy. While the Tour Pass offers the average and hardcore Trainer a new way to connect with the game.    Legendary Flight - https://bit.ly/LU333DMAXBirds  Lunar New Year - https://bit.ly/LU333LunarNewYear  GMAX Kingler - https://bit.ly/LU333GMAXKingler  Strong Yet Small - https://bit.ly/LU335StrongYetSmall Community Day - https://bit.ly/LU335CommunityDay  Beloved Buddies - https://bit.ly/LU335BelovedBuddies  Hoopa Unbound Raid Day - https://bit.ly/LU335Hoopa  Scattered To The Winds - https://bit.ly/LU335Scattered  Road To Unova - https://bit.ly/LU335RoadToUnova  Tour Pass - https://bit.ly/LU335TourPass  GO Tour: Unova - bit.ly/LU330UnovaGlobal  [email protected]     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    Hosts Ken Pescatore Adam Tuttle   Writer and Producer Ken Pescatore   Executive Producer  Xander   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 1996-2024 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.
