    Sep 21 2025

    Send us a text

    This week,

    We kick off with the latest Pokémon GO newsSolosis Community Day is here, but with a twist! Lure Modules now last just one hour, but run until 9pm, with spawns focusing mostly (but not entirely) on Solosis. We share our thoughts on this change, whether it’s a positive update, and how it affects community play. From there, we recap Flabébé Community Day, discussing how we played, our highlights, and of course, our best catches.

    Mark then hosts a refreshed version of Play Your Dex Right, where the hosts test their Pokédex knowledge in a higher-or-lower style challenge. We also dive deeper into the Pokémon Concierge Celebration Event now that we’ve had time to play it — sharing what worked, what didn’t, and our honest impressions.

    In part two of the news, it’s time for Mega Camerupt Raid Day, the Steel Skyline event, and the huge headline: Meta Metagross Raid Day — the FINAL Mega (aside from Mewtwo). Are we hyped, or does the format feel stale?

    With a healthy helping of WhatsApp voice messages from our listeners, and finally, we wrap up with your favourite segment, Shinies of the Week, celebrating the community’s best finds.

    We’d like to say a massive thank you to all of our Patrons for your support, with credited Patrons from featured tiers below:

  • The One Where We Prepare For Level 80
    Sep 14 2025

    Send us a text

    This week,

    We kick things off with a look back at Mega Sharpedo Raid Day, sharing how we tackled the event, the outcomes from our raids, and even a listener’s WhatsApp message on their experience. From there, it’s straight into the hottest topic in Pokémon GO right now — the October 15th Level 80 update. With the XP grind now more important than ever, we openly discuss how our approach to the game has shifted, share our top tips for farming XP efficiently, and debate the best ways to prepare whether you’re playing on a budget or throwing all your resources at the challenge.

    Of course, it wouldn’t be Incensed! without a game — Milo hosts another round of What The Ducklett, where craptic Pokémon clues test the hosts’ patience and knowledge in equal measure. We also chat about the Pokémon Concierge Celebration Event and our early day-one impressions, before rounding out the episode with your favourite segment: Shinies of the Week!

  • The One With GO Wild: Nagasaki & Global
    Sep 7 2025

    Send us a text

    This week,

    We kick things off with a look back at Rookidee Community Day, Mega Gyarados Raid Day, and the Sunkissed Shores event, before our 60-second recap of what to expect on Flabébé Community Day.

    This week’s game is Shiny Happy Pokémon, where the hosts battle it out in a best-of-three challenge to crown the ultimate shiny spotter. Then, it’s straight into the news – and it’s stacked. We break down the September GO Pass and the brand-new Timed Incubator, debate the pros and cons of upcoming Trade Days, and dive into the Psychic Spectacular: Taken Over event. Plus, we explore the hype around GO Wild Area 2025: Nagasaki and Global, and ask the big question: will we actually be playing global GO Wild together?

    As always, your WhatsApp messages get featured, and we round things out with the fan-favourite Shinies of the Week segment, showcasing the community’s best catches.

  • The One Where the Max Finale Went REALLY Wrong
    Aug 31 2025

    Send us a text

    This week,

    We kick things off with the return (for 1 week only) of Casual Coops to the showing jump straight into The News, diving into the brand-new Pokémon Concierge Celebration event — what’s fun, what’s frustrating, and how it ties in with the Netflix series. Then, it’s onto Mega Sharpedo Raid Day, a lightning-quick breakdown of the good, the bad, and why it feels oddly placed after Mega Gyarados. (Is Mega Sharpedo Ian's favourite Mega yet!)

    Milo hosts Chasing the Tail, the game where quick thinking is key, before we dive deep into the Max Finale discussion. Warts and all, we share our unfiltered experiences, the highs, the lows, and how the wider Pokémon GO community reacted to Niantic’s biggest global event of 2025 which fell flat!

    In The News Pt. 2, we cover the huge announcement of Level 80 changes and the upcoming XP Celebration Event. What does this mean for trainers who’ve been grinding since day one, and what will your legacy be?

    Finally, we preview the new season, Tales of Transformation, centred around Keldeo, form changes, Mega Metagross, and Gigantamax Eevee, with hints at how Legends ZA Megas may reshape gameplay.

    Masterful 27 checks in from his European cruise with updates throughout the show whilst of course, we wrap things up with Shinies of the Week — community flexes that always bring the sparkle!

  • The One with Shadow Kyogre and the Pay-to-Win Debate
    Aug 24 2025

    Send us a text

    This week,

    We kick off with a catch-up on the Shadow Kyogre Raid Weekend and the just finishhed Delightful Days: Taken Over event — who had the best luck, and which features stood out (or sank)? Each host shares their highlights, frustrations, and best catches.

    In The News, we dive into Niantic’s latest bombshell: GMax Battles can now host up to 100 trainers! Is this the future of large-scale Pokémon GO battles, or just a chaotic experiment? Plus, we discuss the sunny vibes of the brand-new Sunkissed Shores event, with thoughts on spawns, bonuses, and grind potential with the debut of Dondozo.

    Then, it’s time for an honest conversation: Is Pokémon GO becoming TOO monetized? The hosts debate raid passes, paid tickets, event structure, and whether free-to-play players are being left behind.

    Counter Bros return to break down Necrozma raids — with Mark, Milo, and Ian giving you the best counters, typing breakdown, weaknesses, and the all-important 100% IV CP checks to help you secure the perfect catch.

    With a 60-second recap of Rookidee Community Day, before we round things off with your glittering submissions in #ShiniesOfTheWeek.

  • The One Where The Origin Raid Day Went WRONG!
    Aug 17 2025

    Send us a text

    This week,

    We kick things off with a full Munchlax Hatch Day review — did this sleepy snack-loving baby Pokémon deliver the shiny rates we hoped for, or leave trainers hungry for more?

    In The News, we quickly look at the upcoming Dark Skies event and dive into all the details ahead of the Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Max Finale. What can trainers expect from this massive global celebration, and which features are worth grinding for?

    Game time returns with Chasing The Tail, hosted by Ian, as the boys try to outwit each other with Pokédex knowledge. Then we unpack the Origin Raid Day review, including a serious chat around shiny rate issues that had the community buzzing.

    For Ask The Intern, we look through Niantic’s latest social media responses to the Origin Raid Day issues, with plenty of laughs (and frustrations) as we read through trainer feedback and reactions.

    Finally, it’s time for your glittering catches in #ShiniesOfTheWeek, as we highlight some of the best finds from our amazing community.

    Aug 10 2025

    Send us a text

    This week,

    We kick things off with a full Adventure Week & Fossil Research Day review — from rare spawns to shiny luck, which fossils rocked our Pokédex and which ones should’ve stayed extinct?

    In The News, we break down the Indonesia Special Event (which wraps the same day this episode drops), share Niantic’s newly announced Next Season Save The Dates so you can plan your Pokémon GO adventures, and dive into the big reveal for September’s Community Day — Flabébé! Is this floral favourite a win, or a miss for trainers?

    Then it’s game time with The Flex Game — three rounds, three hosts, and three chances to show off the ultimate Pokémon GO flex. Who will take home the bragging rights this week?

    We round things out with our glittering #ShiniesOfTheWeek, showcasing your most jaw-dropping shiny catches from across the globe.

  • The One Where We Ask If There Are TOO MANY Events?
    Aug 3 2025

    Send us a text

    This week,

    We kick off with a catch-up on gameplay, revisiting the Steel & Scales event and our thoughts on Dynamax Latias & Latios Max Raid Weekend — were the DMax dragons a win, snooze or just more of the same?

    In The News, Milo introduces the upcoming Ultra Unlock: Origin Raid Day — is this new wave of raids bringing real hype? Mark walks us through the brand-new Cozy Companions event, while Ian gives us the lowdown on the August GO-Pass — what are the rewards, is the value there, and who should invest?

    We feature listener WhatsApp voice messages and launch into a spicy discussion:
    Is the Pokémon GO calendar getting too crowded? With constant overlapping events, raid weekends, and ticketed content, are trainers starting to feel the burnout? We also put this to the Incensed! community, and the result in the Incensed! poll is overwhelming!

    Milo hosts this week’s game, “Chasing The Tail”, where Pokémon names link by their final letters — can you keep up?

    Finally, it’s time for our glittering #ShiniesOfTheWeek as we highlight your best shiny catches from across the globe!

    We’d like to say a massive thank you to all of our Patrons for your support, with credited Patrons from featured tiers below:
