The One With Super Mega Raichu, Gigantamax Rillaboom & Ultra Unlock!

This week,

We kick things off by wrapping up Super Mega Raichu Raid Day, discussing our shiny luck, best catches, raid strategies and whether the latest Super Mega event lived up to expectations.

In The News, we break down everything you need to know about Gigantamax Rillaboom Max Battle Day, including event bonuses, tickets, Web Store extras and whether this is shaping up to be one of the biggest Max Battle events yet. We also preview Summer Marathon: Arctic Embers, covering featured Pokémon, wild encounters, Eggs, Field Research, Timed Research, GO Pass rewards and the event bonuses Trainers won't want to miss.

Ian then dives into your latest WhatsApp voice messages, before another hilarious AI Arnie Interlude interrupts proceedings.

Next, Milo hosts Shiny Happy Pokémon, with Mark vs Ian battling it out for bragging rights in another chaotic showdown.

To round out the news, we cover Fire & Ice Hatch Day and preview the Ultra Unlock: Starmie Super Mega Raid Day, including Timed Research, event bonuses, tickets and whether it's worth clearing your calendar.
