The One Where May Was A Forgotten Memory & A Silly Cobra!

This week,

We kick things off with a full Riolu Hatch Day Replay review — was it worth the revisit, and did Trainers get the shiny luck they were hoping for? From hatch rates to overall value, we share how it played out for us.

Next, Ask the Intern returns, as we dive into a classic Niantic mishap — the Silicobra biome mix-up that had the community talking. What went wrong, and how does this keep happening?

We continue with a Sustainability Week event review, discussing what worked, what didn’t, and whether the event brought anything fresh to the game.

It’s then game time as Ian hosts “Shiny Happy Pokémon”, with Milo vs Mark going head-to-head in a best-of-three battle for bragging rights.

In The News, we break down the May content drop, including Max Battles, Five-Star Raids, Raid Hours, Mega Raids and the return of Shadow Cresselia. But the bigger question… where are the events? We discuss whether Pokémon GO is entering a quieter phase and what that means for players.

We also feature two WhatsApp messages from listeners, plus a chaotic AI Arnie interlude.

Finally, we wrap up with Shinies of the Week, celebrating the best catches from the community. 🎮✨
