Lured Up Podcast 215 Record Date - 4/7/2022 Publish Date - 4/8/2022 The April Fool’s Ditto event left us wanting more as half of the community didn’t even know that there was a mini event tucked into 3 hours of the day. For whatever reason, this event hit the mark with Trainers even though it didn’t include any new Pokémon or bonuses. It was just an all around good old fashioned hunt. The All-Hands Rocket Event has Battlers rejoicing and grinders loving the interaction with TGR. While no one rea...

This opens up the spawn pool to nearly 100 different Pokémon and the return of evolved forms to the wild.
