Lured Up - A Pokémon GO Podcast

• Trainers Gone Wild

  Lured Up Podcast 371 Live Streamed on - 11/10/2025 Publish Date - 11/14/2025 Pokémon GO has been treating Trainers pretty well since the Leveling update. Great events, new Pokémon and Shiny releases all delivered in a balanced and manageable cadence. We recap how great the events have been with the Halloween double feature, then Enchanted Hollow, and now Into The Wild. Things have been cooking, and the gameplay has been great, all leading up to GO Wild Area, which happened in Nagasaki, Japan last week and globally, this week.  The news cycle remains packed, with information on November and December Community Days, the debut of DMAX Eevee, and even the save-the-dates for next season. It seems that while the game and product teams may fumble sometimes, generally, the game has been feeling great. This weekend brings us GO Wild Area: Global, and GO HUb has put together a really great event guide that touches on just about every corner of the two day event. It lays out strategies for everything from box maintenance to sunscreen.GMAX Grimsnarl will be on most Trainer’s radar during the event, so we put together a little MAX Battle Party for it. Ken will be attending the Niantic Community Celebration on Sunday, November 16th in Philadelphia, along with a group of incredibly talented creators! Check out the flyer at LuredUp.com! Our final discussion of the episode is about how Pokémon GO Communities can be a catalyst of community action. We talk about ways that even small communities can leverage Campfire and other tools to support those around them. Ken will be working with some great Community Ambassadors to host food drives to support the local community. Find Ken at the event to donate or learn how you can help!

• They Were All Trash

  Lured Up Podcast 370: They Were All Trash Live Streamed on - 11/4/2025 Publish Date - 11/7/2025 The last two weeks of Pokémon GO gameplay have been in peak form! The level rebalance kicked off a reinvigoration of the community, and the game has come through with some great events to keep Trainers busy. We recap the Halloween event and how with new Pokémon, new Shinies, an amazing Sinistea Spotlight Hour and GMAX Garbodor, things are rocking and rolling. We also touch on how having a weekend off is actually a good thing, and helps Trainers recover from the onslaught of events that we have been used to recently. November is upon us however, and there is a lot to look forward to. There is also a lot to spend money on as we stack up your options, including 2 GO Passes, a bunch of event tickets, and of course the GO Wild Area. Storage increases, consumables, and Raid Passes will be flowing over Global’s weekend, so it is best to go in prepared. Keep a lookout for deals and buy the bundles that fit your needs. Also, if you will be in the Philly area for Global, hit up Ken! There were a few miscellaneous tidbits this week like the Nagasaki Poke Lid Stamp Rally and the Black Friday Sale. November seems to be a packed month but does actually have some empty weekends. Perhaps with the free time you may want to look ahead to Chicago, as there is plenty to plan for with GO Fest looming. With the diversity of Chicago’s downtown, you have vastly different environments available to stay in. Just remember, that there are over 50,000 Trainers thinking the same thing.  Halloween Part 1 Halloween Part 2 GMAX Garbodor Enchanted Hollow Into The Wild GO Pass November Wild Area Wild Area Meetups Stamp Rally Black Friday Sale High Voltage Stay up to date by adding our Google Calendar to your account!

• The Internet Hates Cheaters

  Lured Up Podcast 369 Live Streamed on -10/29/25 Publish Date - 10/31/25 The two-part Halloween Event is just about a wrap, and we’re sure everyone’s storage is packed with costume Pokémon that need to be transferred. This year brought a nice blend of new and previously released costumes, the Shiny Hunt played perfectly into the Halloween spirit. Sinister Spotlight Hour was one of the most exciting in a long time, and it was a blast looking for Antique forms on top of the grind. After having the rare weekend off last week, this weekend brings GMAX Garbodor which we will get you prepared for thanks to a Max Battle Guide and Battle Party. We take a look at GO Hub and Pokebattler and lay out our teams, with Ken going for defense and Adam on the attack. Let us know who you will be bringing to take on GMAX Garbodor and how you do with the event! Looking out into November we have the Enchanted Hollow and Into the Wild Events on the calendar. November’s GO Pass brings back the Lucky Trinket, which seems to be the most popular reward to the Community. We suggest planning to do a lot of raids during Into the Wild, so you should start looking into boxes of passes now, and stay away from the impulse buys in the moment during the event.  The hot Community topic of the week is brought to you by all the silly Trainers online that are flexing their clearly manipulated Level 80 screenshots. Not only was the internet not impressed, but they were also foaming at the mouth with anger! We discuss the impact of how cheaters can influence motivation of even the most diehard content creators, and the trickle down effect it has on their audience. It’s a slippery slope but we love to see the passion. Here’s to hoping Niantic slash Scopely’s anti-cheat measures do their job!

• We're Going To Chicago

  Lured Up Podcast 368 Live Streamed on - 10/21/25 Publish Date - 10/24/25 Pokémon Trainers everywhere are torn between Legends Z-A on Switch and the Level 80 grind in Pokémon GO! Luckily for PGO Trainers, the Legends Z-A Event gave us some slight crossover to scratch the itch. It was Mega Rayquaza Raid Day however, that brought the Trainers out over the weekend. Communities everywhere were putting in big numbers to take down the Sky High Pokémon. With Raid numbers like we are seeing, we can only imagine what Mega Dragonite or Mega Mewtwo will do. Spooky Season is officially here with the return of the Halloween Event, which brings a little bit of everything over the rest of the month. New Pokémon, new Shinies, and new Costumes will fill our inventories as we continue our push to the upper levels. We check in on our progress and share some best practices for some of the initial tasks to complete after Level 70. We still have plenty of time in October, but we already have the November Content Update which of course includes the Wild Area. This event has proven to be exciting and a fantastic draw for Communities. We have a feeling that GMAX Grimmsnarl will keep us on the grind along with Shadow Darkrai. The Wild Area hype can only be bested by one thing, GO Fest hype. The local Fox news affiliate in Chicago dropped a bombshell that Pokémon GO will be returning to Grant Park in 2026 with the option of 2027. We are VERY excited for this announcement as Grant Park provided an incredible backdrop for GO Fest, with great terrain, views, and a straightforward layout. The City Experience element will bring new experiences for Trainers, and we have plenty of time to prepare.  Legends Z-A Event Mega Rayquaza Raid Day GO Pass Halloween Halloween Part 1 Halloween Part 2 Level 80 Grind November Content Update Enchanted Hollow Into The Wild GO Fest Chicago Stay up to date by adding our Google Calendar to your account!

• Touch & GO

  Lured Up Podcast Live Streamed on - 10/15/25 Publish Date - 10/17/25 The wait for the Level 80 rebalance made October 15th one of the longest days ever. From little to no communication from Niantic, Trainers had no clear answer as to when the rebalance would happen. As the day went on patience grew thin, the anger started boiling over, and the crash outs began. Finally, at around 4pm ET the update launched and the community took a deep breath and focused on the path ahead. The last week of gameplay included the Harvest Festival and Solosis Community Day, which gave Trainers some fun and varied gameplay. Mossy Lures covered the gameboard and the events and bonuses stacking made for an awesome Sunday. Even with the failed launch of Weekly Challenges, many Trainers had an awesome time playing over the weekend. The Legends Z-A event hits this week, and the event is a bit lackluster. While it does bring a branching Timed Research, this event on paper seems to be a bit slower than what we have been used to lately. This weekend however, brings the return of Mega Rayquaza which will surely bring Trainers out. We look to Pokebattler and GO Hub to put together a Raid Guide and Battle Party.pro-tip, bring Ice. We close things out with a discussion around November’s Into The WIld event. With an event ticket and it’s own GO Pass, it begs the question of how much is too much. The overlapping spending opportunities press our ability to say no, especially when the Silver Bottle Cap is part of the rewards for the Deluxe GO Pass. Let us know what you thing, not just about the amount of event tickets, but the newer trend of overlapping GO Passes, which may put some Trainers over budget.
